What impressed you positively?

Clinical opportunities are unbelievable! You have a lot of chances to get involved with patients as early as the first year of school.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities and neighborhood aren't exactly pretty. There was a huge lag time between my interview and the student tour! The other candidates and I sat around in the waiting area for over 2 hours!!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there's a lot of waiting time. Bring something to read!

What are your general comments?

The interview was very low stress. Dr. Liverpool (Internal Med) had reviewed my file well and was interested in my pharmacy background.
