What impressed you positively?

the faculty and students were really friendly. the interview was more of a conversational rather than answering questions presented by the interviewers

nothing really

What are your general comments?

overall the interview process was long. you have an open discussion/question/answer session with the current students. this gave me a chance to find out about the school from a student perspective. then you have to write a couple of essays (pretty simple topics). after that i had a group interview with 4-5 other interviewees and a faculty and two pharmD students. at then end i had a one-on-one interview with a faculty member.
