How did you prepare for the interview?
This site, reviewed pharmCAS essay, supplemental. Tried to become familiar with all the repercussions of Bush's 2007 budget proposal.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers [3] had really done their homework. They didn't only have my materials in front of them, they had gone over them previously and had their own notes/summaries about me. They were genuinely interested in ME as a whole applicant.
What impressed you negatively?
I'm somewhat familiar with the health sciences building, so this came as no surprise. . .The infrastructure appears a bit run-down.
Additionally, I was disappointed to find that they were not going to have all the notifications sent out until late April -- and even that was 'hopeful'.
What are your general comments?
The essay was much less 'stressful' than I expected it to be. Everyone was very nice, from the tour guide to the interviewing panel. The interview itself was thorough, tough, but genuinely fair and balanced. I thought they did a fantastic job.
