⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

6 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The interview is extremely well organized. Staff members help to guide you from place to place and there's plenty of time to relax and speak to fellow pharmacy students. The professor who interviewed me was genuinely excited to teach at the school, to interview prospective students, and give a great impression of the school. Asking a simple question develops into a lengthy answer so my interview lasted an hour (possibly because I was the last person the interviewer had to interview). The writing portion was not complicated and everything is on the 'honor system' to time yourself 45 minutes to write and analzye the group project preparation. This is probably the most relaxed and organized interview. I received my letter 2 weeks later.

What impressed you positively?

The school is very organized and geared to producing collegues in the pharmacy field. The curriculum, statistical standings, the ability to accomodate students (test schedules and rotations) all impressed me.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really, they try to make the interview as quick and painless as possible. The only thing lacking was a tour of the school, though it could be because the first 2 years are at the UH campus and the interview was at the UH COP at TMC.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's a fairly large panel of about 8 students and faculty members who analyze your interaction with the group project,also getting to the school can cause some issues because of parking.
