What are your general comments?
I was accepted to both UT and UH, and FINALLY got in to A&M after being put on the wait list. The interview went horribly - I don't think A&M got to know me at all based on the application or the interview. Waste of my time.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you like most and least about working in a pharmacy? Then they grilled me on my answers for like 15 minutes
What was the most interesting question?
1. How well do you handle change?
2. What will you do if you are not accepted into pharmacy school this year?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN - and consequently I was completely unprepared. They did not ask me a single question from their website.
What was the most difficult question?
1. If you are accepted to every school that you have applied (and we are assuming you have applied to several), what will be the determining factor for the school you choose? (I bombed this question because it was obvious A&M was not my first choice)
2. What interests you about the southern region of Texas? (I also bombed this question)
What impressed you positively?
How high-tech and new the campus is. I also like that the students are expected to dress professionally every day.
What impressed you negatively?
My interviewers were jerks. They did not ask me a single question about my accomplishments, and they didn't crack a smile during the entire interview. Also, the campus location sucks.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
You are expected to write each interviewer a thank-you email. Remember their names! I didn't know jack about A&M's specific curriculum
