How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, talked to current UOP students, reviewed application
What impressed you positively?
Students were friendly, articulate, and seemed to have a sense of balance about them. They were involved with service, academics, and fun. Finals were nearing and they were still positive about UOP. Accelerated program.
What impressed you negatively?
The first years are in this kind of run down lecture hall their first year. Not as snazzy as I expected from UOP. Also, most of the students helping with the interview day were pre-pharm at UOP so I found myself wanting to talk to transfer students to get a sense of why UOP.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Eat something before. They give you water and cookies, which is great, but seriously, eat breakfast and lunch before! Get there on time, the interview session gets started at the time they say to check in at.
What are your general comments?
Great school with smart and fun students! Interviewers were friendly and easy to talk to; this really was a "chat session." I mean, we talked about good books and art and travel, hardly anything about pharmacy so I felt like they were really trying to get to know me as a person.
