How did you prepare for the interview?

I laughed with my friend who drove down there with me.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty are VERY enthusiastic about their school, and for good reason because there is a lot of money from a lot of influential people going into this school. They were honest in saying that the academic curriculum would be extremely rigorous.

What impressed you negatively?

Cramped quarters, although they are expanding, so you may not get to complain about this next year. Also, they didn't even time the essay-writing portion.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

History of the school of pharmacy - the orientation covered this very thoroughly - kind of a "yawn-er" if you don't care.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was super nice. The students are extremely dedicatd to studying here, so if you're looking to just sun-bathe at the beach (only 10-minute drive away), you'll be disappointed, not that they don't have fun, but the work load is great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
