✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I had my parents google common pharmacy school interview questions and ask them to me, and then I had a formal mock interview with my adviser, and after that I went through the interview feedback sections of SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone at the school was extremely welcoming and tremendously helped to calm my nerves. It was very clear that all of the students there genuinely love the school and wanted to help make the applicants more calm about the interview process.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, I truly loved everything about this school, even the small town. In my opinion, its better to be in a place with less distractions when you are obtaining a doctorate degree in as little as three years anyways.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known that the overall process was not nearly as scary and intimidating as I expected it to be, there really is nothing to stress about. The whole process went very smoothly for me and that is saying a lot because I was NERVOUS.

What are your general comments?

I fell in love with this school the minute I stepped in the door. For those of you reading this to prepare for an upcoming interview, do not stress out about it! Just relax and try to enjoy the day, everyone there is rooting for you to succeed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None that I can think of. From what I've experienced, the admissions office is very friendly and on top of their game.
