What are your general comments?
I really liked the school and the program. The Dean of the Pharmacy program used to work at Vanderbelt so there is a strong tie in there. I'm intersted in clinical work, not just trying to collect a check at Walgreens. I think this school, although not fully accredited yet, will make a big splash.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Which of the Pillars are you interested in?
What was the most interesting question?
The interview was mostly just back and forth dialogue. I didn't have the feeling of being interogated like other schools make you feel. Very relaxed interview, they want to get to know the real you, not just your canned responses.
How did you prepare for the interview?
This was my third interview, I was pretty well groomed for it by the time I had it.
What was the most difficult question?
Essay: What would you change about American Healthcare?
What impressed you positively?
The campus was impressive. Very friendly. Strong affiliation with local hospital(Vanderbelt) so should be a good clinical teaching school.
What impressed you negatively?
Since not fully accredited you can't get enough Stafford loan money to pay for tuition. This problem will fix itself once the school is fully accredited.
