Reading SDN interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

The nice staff.

What impressed you negatively?

The only thing that was negative to me was how small the pharmacy school was. I think they only had three classrooms. I thought it would be a bigger building. They were also lacking in technology department compared to other schools that I interviewed at.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known that they had a writing portion during the interview. The question is exactly the same as the essay portion of PharmCas. Why pharmacy and what are your long term goals?

What are your general comments?

The campus is not bad as people in this forum make it out to be. Maybe because I am a minority and I am used to diversity. Some people might not be used to it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The staff was very accommodating.
