How did you prepare for the interview?

read sdn, practice answers to common questions (outloud), read through my personal statement, clarified my reasons for choosing Pharmacy and the school

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly and positive. They were willing to talk about themselves, making it more like a conversation

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

more specifics about the school and more questions to ask them about the program (brain freeze!)

What are your general comments?

Very positive. We had a writing sample immediately, then I had two one on one interviews (one with a pharm, one with a student) and then the group interview. Everyone was in a suit, so I was glad I had spent the money.
