What impressed you negatively?

Baltimore is one scary place. I didn't think it was THAT scary but oh it is. The student interviewer told me not to walk alone after 5pm... and I can totally see why.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is absolutely nothing to do around campus (unless you have a car). I got there two hours early (I'm from out of state) and there was no starbucks or anything to just hang for an hour or two.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

There was a writing portion (30 minutes) -- my question was to write about a decision I made in the past year and if I were given the same situation would I make the same decision again and why. Then it was off to the group interview (1 faculty, 1 current student, and 4-5 other applicants) -- they asked really general questions and half the time the student talked about her experience. Next I had the faculty interview -- he didn't have a list of questions to ask me. He asked me random questions like, "so you're from Seattle... how's the weather?" But he did ask me why I wanted to go to UMB and why I wanted to be a pharmacist. Next I had the student interview. Overall it was VERY relaxing. :) Word of advice: eat before you go... the whole interview is like 4 hours long. I was SUPER hungry by the time it ended.
