How did you prepare for the interview?

Pharmacists I worked with, school web site and SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty that interviewed me (he received his Pharm D./Ph.D from UCSF.) who was very nice. I had told him that I was applying to UCSF also, and he told me that I should go to there if I get accepted. I guess it kind tells you something about UOP huh?

What impressed you negatively?

How the students did not take any pride in the town the school was in. I asked them what there was to do outside of school and most of them said there was not much to do in Stockton. Most also said that they went back home since I guess most of the students lived a few hours from Stockton.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How freakiing small the campus was. Also, I don't think I'll ever forget this interview experience since I walked into an UNLOCKED bathroom with a girl doing her business. Way to start out the interview on the right foot eh?

What are your general comments?

Hmm...UOP is a good school if you want to get a Pharm D. in 3 years and not get outside distraction. Despite being accepted a few weeks after my interview, I don't think I'll end up going there since I'm looking for a school that offers much more than a degree. The non refundable $500 deposit I threw down is killing me now. SERENITY NOW!
