How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over the questions they provided, read SDN interview experiences, skimmed through UIC's website

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty were very friendly and informative. They were more than willing to answer questions.

What impressed you negatively?

It's an old school, so the facilities were not so impressive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The walk from the parking structure to the COP building was a little too far. It would've been a better idea to have had someone drop me off.

What are your general comments?

The day starts with an essay. The essay was not hard at all. I guess, as the students assured me before I went to complete it, that the AdCom isn't really concerned about your knowledge of the pharmacy profession, but how you think and structure your thinking and organizational skills when writing your thoughts down. The next 30 min. or so is spent interviewing with a faculty member, which is followed by a short Q & A session.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
