What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Questions specific to my extra curriculars.
What is something that you have accomplished that you are most proud of? Why?
What led you to a career in pharmacy? Why specifically OSU?

What was the most interesting question?

They asked a question specific to volunteer work that I do at a center for victims of domestic violence and sexual assualt. The question was something to the effect of, "Your work at MPC - it surprises me that a suburban/main stream girl like yourself was able to function in such a difficult situation. How did you prepare yourself for this and how did you react in the situation?"

What was the most difficult question?

Same question.

How did you prepare for the interview?

read other interview experiences, read all info on osu's website.

What impressed you positively?

the detailed description of the program - i left having a great understanding of the education i would be receiving. the pharm. students were also extremely friendly and very willing to share their experiences.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that in their pre-recs, they require 2 semester of physics - not one, which apparently i read incorrectly on their website. so, now i have to take a summer school class. blah.

What are your general comments?

All in all it was a very positive experience. My interview started at 1p (with an optional tour at 12p - I did not go to that), and began with an admissions welcome, then a dean's address. the dean went through the entire curriculum, the school, the people, the place, etc. then, after a short break the interviews began - i was lucky enough to be 2nd so i didn't have to wait very long. while we were waiting for our turn there were plenty of pharmacy students around that you could talk to. the interview itself, though formal, was very congenial. they asked me a lot of questions about the activities i am involved in, not too many difficult things - just talking about what i love to do. after the interview, i went back to the room with all of the other interviewees and had a file review with an admissions counselor. after that i was free to go - i was out the door by about 3:45-4p.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
