What are your general comments?

The interview is a total of 2 hours consisting of a short orientation, 30 minute interview, 20 minute essay, and tour. My interviewers were extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable. There are 6 possible essay questions, you pick a number for which one you get. My question was very simple. It did not apply specifically to pharmacy and was not an ethical type question. They just want to see if you can write. Everyone was very enthusiastic and you could see they were excited for us to be there.
