How did you prepare for the interview?

I searched SDN for interview quesions, read over my essays, talked with pharmacists, and watched the news for current events.

What impressed you positively?

They hold job fairs upon graduation of pharmacy school. I was also impressed on how many clubs, social activities, and organizations they have to offer their students.

I had a late interview, so I did not get to see in many of the classrooms because they were locked.

What are your general comments?

My interview was a great overall experience. Both interviewers were very friendly and although we covered many topics, I never felt attacked. They allowed me ample time to answer their questions and gave me the opportunity to ask them any questions I had. I felt very much at ease and stress free as I talked with them. I was also very impressed with the faculty members. There also seemed to be a close-knit group of pharmacy students that attended the school.
