"more q's they would ask me" More from this Member | Report Response

"How general the questions would be; so it's really in your hands of what you want to bring up for discussion/conversation. So just relax and practice on the oral communication skills. I think that's what they are mainly looking for." More from this Member | Report Response

"That there was little in the way of food to be had. My stomach was growling by 2:30, when I had my interview." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Just be yourself, students interview was nice and very helpful. Ask many questions!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt that my responses were too scripted. Be wary of memorizing your answers and spewing them out verbatim. It happens more easily that you think when you're nervous." More from this Member | Report Response

"TBL rocks!" More from this Member | Report Response

"They have some research facilities down the street, but we weren't able to see them. They provide you with Mexican food for lunch. They have plenty of beverages and snacks for you throughout the day. The people there that day were very nice and welcoming. The TBL wasn't used as a tool to determine if you will be accepted. Its just there to give you a taste of how the classes will be like. I barely read the article they emailed us and did fine in the TBL. Some people wrote up lots of notes and printed out additional information from the web about their article. There's no need to because you're not allowed to use any of it for most of the TBL exercise. The writing prompt for my interview was: "If a doctor asked you substitute a placebo for a painkiller because the doctor felt the patient was addicted to it and lying about their pain, would you?"" More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview group was the first following the TBL, and they didn't give us the whole 30 min. Would have been nice to have the time to receive and give a few more questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"Be yourself!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't think I would like this school but after my interview Northstate moved up my list pharmacy schools I would like to attend. I truly believe they can become one of the best pharmacy schools in California." More from this Member | Report Response

"Seems like a nice little school. The Dean seems knowledgeable, friendly and helpful to his students. However I'm very turned off by the financial aid situation. With all those investors, they ought to give out some scholarships to attract more academically, higher achieving students" More from this Member | Report Response

"Some interviews were only 20mins long. Mine lasted for 45 mins because I was in the last group and I was the last to leave within my group. I had a few questions to ask them and they didn't rushed their answers although we both knew the alloted time was up. Just relax and be genuine. Practice on the articulation." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school does show promise in getting to be fully accredited. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt like the interviewers were more interested in grilling me with tough questions than trying to get to know me. I received my acceptance letter a week and half later though, so I think I answered their questions well. " More from this Member | Report Response

"They say the interviews with each group is 30 mins, but it's only really 15mins with a lot of waiting in between. These people are also really oriented towards extra-curricular involvement, whether it be in clubs or community service." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was impressed with the school after the interview and tour. They have a 6 yr lease on the current two story building, with the 2nd level under construction. About 50% of faculty possess Ph.D./Pharm.D. Interview was split into two sections: morning group 8AM-12:30PM and 12:30-4PM. Morning group had approx 21 candidates split into 4 groups (for the TBL exercise). Two were from out of state (OR and NC), one from Norcal, the rest from SoCal." More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt good with my interview. The interviewers were really nice and asked questions to know more about you rather then to grill you. I did get accepted three weeks later so I guess I did ok." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the interview day was relaxed and comfortable, not as nervewracking as I thought it would be!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Shorten the Interview process? maybe the 1 hour asking financial and students questions...." More from this Member | Report Response

"before interview, interviewer inform me that they will stress me with the questions . Most of the questions center around how to "chose a basketball team & why you hate the other team so much?" has nothing to do with pharmacy. My friends did interview at the same time did not received the same questions, so it seem the school is not consistence with the questions so it up to the interview. ALso, the interviewer also asked me if I have stress in my family? -it none of your business & does not relate to pharmacy. SO as you can see I did not have nice day."
