What impressed you positively?

The entire process was very organized. Pharm students were there an hour before our scheduled time to mingle with us. The Director of Admissions even spent ~20 minutes with us to give us an overview/pep talk. There were so many students involved in the process and they were all volunteers who chose to take time out of their schedule to be with us.

What impressed you negatively?

I did not like the essay portion - I don't know it was just weird to me! They give you a paragraph and give you 5 minutes to take notes on it - BUT the sheet you take notes on has ten lines on it and you can only write 5 words on each line (weird?). Then they take away the paragraph and you have 15 minutes to state the main point(s) and summarize the paragraph (you could not add new ideas). I wasn't sure how much I was supposed to write from a 6-7 sentence paragraph. :-(

No responses

What are your general comments?

I get very stressed out so it was stressful for ME, but overall it was not difficult. I was lucky to have very nice interviewers. We basically had a conversation (at one point I was referring her to a place her kids might like to go to in their spare time). Remember, the professor AND the student are grading you so pay attention to the student too! I was told to ask questions beforehand so I made sure to ask them a few.
