How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website and some interview books.

What impressed you positively?

The school is quit big and has a lot of parking space around it. I guess if I get in to program I don't have to wait for school bus any more.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is hiding its problems. My questions: "where can I find a hardcopy about the school programs? How many students got kicked out in the past years? Why changed the programs including the admission requirement 2 months before the first cutoff date/early admission?..." I did not get any answer from the interviewer!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The UNM pharmacy school was on the ACPE probation because its students failed classes. If I knew this before, I would not apply to the school. This was why its staffs boasted about its success in the past years: its students took important positions in the gov and some pharm organizations.

What are your general comments?

The UNM pharmacy school boasted to much about its success and never mentioned about its failure in the past years. My interview went through without any problem because I knew all the questions and the good answers from this studentdoctor website.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
