No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read up on magazines about pharmacy, read lists of commonly asked questions, answered mock questions to myself

What impressed you positively?

the wonderful interviewers (esp this asian girl - shelly? she was cute!), friendly interviewees, and the campus wasnt nearly as bad as i had imagined - actually the new health science building is quite nice. overall, you could tell this school really cares about its students; its more personal. i'm going to another school for location, but i was really impressed by the people and the school and wish i could go to this one for those reasons alone. plus they give you bottled water and cool pens!

What impressed you negatively?

the location - stockton leaves more to be desired for those who care about that kind of thing. that said, its a decent sized town though and not as desolate as i'd previously thought. another is the opportunity for research. while a great pharm school, its not the biggest in research - which i care about. but thats just me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that stockton has everything you need. i packed way too much unnecessary junk.
