No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about Temple College of Pharmacy and basically information about pharmacy school. Looked at my resume and my chemistry research. Read numerous pre-med books about interviewing.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer has a very extroverted personality and she obviously enjoys pharmacy. I also have happen to meet her in two pre-pharmacy workshops so I know who she is. She wasn't intimidating but very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

Having one person inteview 5 people is not really an interview. She basically ask everyone three questions and did a lot of talking about the pharmacy curriculum and basically pharmacy in general.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wished I practiced my interviewing skills. Even though the interview wasn't as bad as I thought, I still stutter a little bit.

What are your general comments?

I wished I had a little more time to finished writing my essay. I at least wanted to have three paragraphs. Also, I was dissapointed with the structure of the interview. Most of the time spent was just asking her questions. While the interview was not very difficult, I did not get to talk more about myself as to why I wanted to get into pharmacy, my current Chemistry undergrad research or about my personal background.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
