How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, UCSD website, went to career services at my school.

What impressed you positively?

It's insane how much money the school has, which is good because the new pharmacy school builiding will be top-notch and the school will be able to recruit excellent faculty members.

What impressed you negatively?

On the day that I interviewed, all the pharm students were in classes so none of them had the opportunity to interview us. Later on in the day, some of them showed up and answered our questions about the school. It would have been nice to have one student and one faculty interview me instead of two faculty members.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to worry about the writing prompt. You basically have all the time you need to write your essay, of course, until you check out.
