💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why pharmacy? Why Western?

What was the most interesting question?

The professor and student started off the interview by telling me their background. They were pretty interesting, easy-going people. When I finished telling them about myself, the professor asked me why I chose pharmacy when I had all these other things going on.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I went over the questions on the website and reviewed my application. I also looked through a few of my other applications to help me formulate answers to all the questions. I heard the interview was open file, but I don't think my interviewers looked through my file during the process.

What was the most difficult question?

If you could describe yourself with one word, what would it be?

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

It's in a pretty bad area. The school is not even separated by a parking lot from the town and bums w/ shopping carts can walk through the school. The only place to have lunch is Subway. I would not want to live anywhere near the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was at 7:30am. The sun was in my eyes driving all the way up the 57North and I couldn't see the signs. The one thing I wish I knew is that along the 57N, there is a portion that merges with the 60 Freeway and then splits off again into the 57. It was really hard to see b/c you are driving into the sun at that time in the morning. I got lost, but fortunately I got there on time.
