How did you prepare for the interview?
Rested, had breakfast, conversated with the P1 students ahead of time, and tried to stay as relax as possible. The food they provided took a lot of stress off.
What impressed you positively?
How enthusiastic the staff was and how friendly everybody was. Also, they had research presentations on the effects of a pass/no pass system (which they are) in comparison to a grading system. That was neat!

The building was very small, but given that this is a new pharmacy school and that the other professional programs and highly ranked, I think it's not that big of a deal.

How long it would take to travel from the main city, Portland, to Hillsboro. I expected the travel to be short.
