What do you do in your free time? (and the questions I stated in other parts. There are two(?) questions missing.)

Why should we choose you?

What was the most interesting question?

The ones about the book I read for my Enghlish class and about the scholarship program I participate in.

What was the most difficult question?

There were about 15 questions (I count them!) and they were typical, such as tell about yourself, about your strength and limit, your favorite and difficult courses, your motivation, why PharmD but not M.D., how to pay the tuition, etc. I don't see any difficult question.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview, sample questions

What impressed you positively?

The passion of the student there. They love the school and the career. They are serious in their studying. My interviewers picked details from my answers and asked more about them. That made me feel they were listening to me and treating me as ME, not as other interviewees.

What impressed you negatively?

The entrance of the Pharmacy Building is not easy to see. Ther was no "temporary" sign or detailed direction. Every student there has the name tag on the neck.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The interviewers introduced themselves during the lunch (but YOUR interviewers would not talk to YOU, except for saying Hi, in another word, they kept away from you to avoid bias in the official interview). The students guiding the tour are informative and friendly (but I forgot to ask about the name tag). The writing test question was appropriate. There were a faculty interviewer and a visitor one who was a working pharmacist. The interview session gave me a positive impression about the not only their program, but also about the school as a whole.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
