How did you prepare for the interview?

This web site. My husband is great with interviews and thought up all the questions he thought I'd encounter. I recommend a mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers definitely took the time to review my application. I could tell they did not just walk in and wing it. Also, they accepted me three weeks later into the program. They are quite prompt.

What impressed you negatively?

There was no tour of the campus/building during the second on-campus interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would say that I felt my application was very strong. The interviewers focused more on this than I imagined. I would have not gotten as "stressed out" if I'd known how relaxed the situation would be. It was more me asking them questions about the program rather than a standard interview.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were fair and appreciated academics...especially that organic chemistry grade. My advice is to kick butt in chem, and your interview will go very well. It also helps to have a "unique" experience on your resume. Something like strong community service or pharmacy experience goes a long way.
