Mock interview w friend, read SDN, studied my answers to questions on the app to remind myself of reasons for Pharmacy

What was the most difficult question?

None of the questions were difficult. It was incredibly laid back.

What impressed you positively?

The professor and student interviewer as well as student hosts were very friendly. While waiting to be called for my interview the first and second year students came over and made sure we were all comfortable and relaxed for our interview. It was so much fun chatting with them and getting their perspective!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing was really negative. I had attended an info session a few months prior and already got acquainted with the school. So I didn't participate in their optional tour at the end.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I have friends attending the school so it was very useful asking them questions about their interview and getting a better understanding of the process before getting there.
