What are your general comments?
My interview was at the OHSU campus in Portland. There were 8 of us scheduled to be there but only 6 showed up (they said that at the Corvallis interviews there would be more people). We started at 1 with a little overview by a faculty member. Half of us then did our writing sample, while the other half did their interviews, then we switched. The writing sample asked a question about the future role of pharmacists. Then a faculty member took us on a short tour of campus. The entire thing took 2 1/2 hours.
