How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

relaxed atmosphere. very casual.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had more questions to ask other than the program itself. The dean explained most of the basic questions that I had prepared so I was left with nothing to ask!

What are your general comments?

The interview was pretty laid back. The dean went through all the pharmacy curriculum which was unusual, but informative. We were in the student lounge in a circle(more or less). We went around introducing ourselves(name, school, major) and started interviews by the schedule. There was NO written exercise, which took me by surprise. We just went over the missing files and we were on our way to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
