How did you prepare for the interview?

Read sdn website, looked at ucsf website, talked to pharmacists, talked to students who go there.

What impressed you positively?

the pharm students are incredibly friendly! someone once told me the students that go there are snobby, but they're not at all. they make an honest effort to welcome you and put you at ease.

What impressed you negatively?

For the most part.... the crummy weather.... but that has nothing to do with the school. I'm from southern california so i was shocked to hear one of the pharm students say how 'nice' the weather was (it was cloudy and cold!).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the interviews are arranged by area. for instance, on the day i went, all the interview applicants were from southern california, mostly from san diego. I saw tons of people from my school so I was very comfortable even before my interview began.

What are your general comments?

The interview isn't stressful at all. Talk to the students there, go on the tour, and definitely visit the snack table. I meet my interviewers there and I didn't realize that until they came out to get me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
