What are your general comments?
Arrived at the interview about 45 minutes early and Kate offered to let me write my essay first. You choose from 9 different prompts relating to various topics and you have 30 minutes to write. After writing, I met my interviewer, who is a professor at the school. She asked me the usual, why MCPHS? and why pharmacy? Then we got into a discussion about my research and clincal experiences as an MT. She asked me why I didn't want to be an MT anymore and how would I handle the 3 year program. After the interview, she took me on a 30 minute tour. I could not have felt more at home.
