BE EXCITED ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF SOMEDAY, BECOMING A PHARMACIST!!, SDN interview feedback, talked to a pharmacist, LOTS of mock interviews, learn as much as you ca about the school, and learn the various specialities in the profession. For the essay and math section, I read my GRE textbook on analytical writing and several short essays by a favorite author of mine.
What impressed you positively?
The "family" dynamics of the school. Everyone was genuinely supportive of each other.
What impressed you negatively?
The old buildings were a bit spooky.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To rent a car for the trip. Do not depend on uber.
What are your general comments?
Vallejo is filled with super nice people. And the absence of night-life is a positive thing to me. Tells me the city won't attract certain kinds of people. The quite environment is beautiful and conducive for efficient study and success. Cost of living is low and means I won't rack up unnecessary bills/ loan upon graduation.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Financial aid should come more prepared next time with updated dates on the packets. But overall, everyone was jolly nice and super friendly.
