✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

2 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

0 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews (101 and small groups), practice basic questions, technical questions, present science topics, and public health ethics questions

What impressed you positively?

Sarah Scoular and Patty. They led the interview sessions and groups flawlessly. Their provided tour of campus was nice.

What impressed you negatively?

When you toured the school you could see the pharmacy students suffering inside while every other student group was enjoying the sun outside.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Speak with real students 101 outside of the gazing eye of the faculty. Their insight was more real and genuine than the interviewers and student leaders selected to help the interview. If I spoke to a few real students ahead of time I would not have chosen pharmacy as a profession.

What are your general comments?

CU’s faculty was nice, obviously. The campus is somewhat modern but dystopian compared to the surrounding area. Research facilities are top notch. Pharmacy is located in the middle of nowhere, segregates from other professional students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
