Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Everything was very organized. Arrive a 10 minutes early in order to get a chance to talk to the students/teachers there. After you check-in, you are led to another room where the Admissions director talks to you about what the interview process entails. He was very good at making jokes and calming people's nerves. After this talk, current pharmacy student interviewers came in and led us away one by one to a different room where your faculty interviewer was waiting. They interviewed me for about 20-25 minutes. They were very organized and had specific questions written down that they wanted to ask. They were also very friendly and approachable. After the interview, I went back downstairs to another room where I took the written test. The written test is very simple - basically read a small paragraph and summarize its content. Overall, the experience was a good one and I went away feeling that I shouldn't have been as nervous as I was going in.
