💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What makes you stand out above your peers? (or something to that effect)
When I first came in the room they were very relaxed. Asked about my job, school, Florida (where I used to live). Just very general questions, just to get to know me. After that, there were really only 3 questions that comprised the interview. Then, I asked quite a few questions (they like to know that you're interested enough to ask questions...have some prepared).
Why do you want to be a pharmacist? Why specifically OSU?

What was the most interesting question?

No responses

What was the most difficult question?

A specific time when something needed to be done and I stepped in and took charge. I gave a general example about work, but they wanted a specific instance.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN feedbacks, looked over OSU's website, did a mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

They were SOOO nice. Everyone there, the dean, the director of admissions, students, interviewers, just everyone went out of their way to make sure you were relaxed and they just really wanted to get to know you.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

When you first get there the dean comes in and tells you about the college and the curriculum, he is very informative. Then, everyone has a scheduled for their interview and while you wait for your turn you eat bagels and drink juice and do a file review and talk to current students. Honestly, do not stress out! It's so laid back. Everyone always says 'be yourself'. It's the best advice--it got me in :)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
