How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Prayed, read SDN, read other health websites and publications, talked to pharmacists, researched the program and reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

The Pharm D. program has recently received generous funding and the brand-new pharmacy building will be ready in early 2006! They're also expanding the biomed library to accomodate new materials for the program.

What impressed you negatively?

That we don't receive acceptance notices until March/April. How nerve-wracking for some of us!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That wearing heels and walking from one end of the med school parking lot to the center of the school (where the interviews were conducted) can be quite a sacrifice. My poor feet!

What are your general comments?

I attended UCSD for my undergrad studies. The school is exellent in several aspects: Research, faculty, student-body, location, etc. I have nothing but praise for this school and certainly hope and pray to God that I get in!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
