What are your general comments?
My experience was very frustrating. I ran into some bizzare challenges where in any other world it would have gone smoothly. For example, getting a cab driver to and from the airport was insanely hard. Also, I wish I had known the lack of ties the college of pharmacy has to the UNC hospital & research triangle. The impression I got was that it doesn't really give you any advantage except for proximity.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read questions on SDN, read over my pharmcas essay, looked over my resume.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities are extremely nice. It's clear they have a lot of money.
What impressed you negatively?
They have so much money because they do not give ANY scholarships to 1st year students. Also, the staff is less than average: they're not willing to help, and are not enthusiastic about learning more about you as an individual.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
A lot of prospectives invited to interview are people who have worked in industry, but don't let that get to you (if you're coming right out of undergrad)
