"The students seemed very happy, pretty laid back atmosphere. Faculty was very friendly"
"I did have an awkward moment during my interview so that was the one thing that probably stressed me out."
"Nothing, I truly loved everything about this school, even the small town. In my opinion, its better to be in a place with less distractions when you are obtaining a doctorate degree in as little as three years anyways."
"school's environment is very country."
"The pharmacy school is small and stand-alone with no associated medical or academic center, the school is in a very rural area (only 1 radio station?!?!) so rotations are far away, no on-campus housing."
"Location"
"Treacherous mountain roads that has many twists and turns. Think of Gran Turismo but out in the Appalachia mountains where things get grim and gray. Remember to fill your tank up in Wyethville or along the way or else you may get stranded. "
"The location"
"Not many people at the interview. I expected 20 or so people. I was surpised when only 9 people were there..... and it still took all day. "
"too far from everything"
"Facilities seem a little less impressive but a new building is planned and will be completed in the next year and a half."

"The town, the school, the area. If you don't have a verizon phone, it won't work there."
"The location of school, no cultural life."
"Location. Staff and presenters were not as impressive as other schools I visted. "
"location, limited cultural life"
"Isolated location, not much culture diversity, the whole city just seems on one highway on a mountain. Also, no cell phone reception, and some areas where students live in do not have high-speed internet."
"no cell phone reception, location sucks, not accredited school"
"The town and its location sucks, be very aware of that because if you're from a big city then you'll experience culture shock!"
"The situation is a lot worse than website description.-terrible mountain road, town is very isolated, no ethnic diversity. Interviewers were reacted so negatively on my question about Indian population and my zero number of community service. During interview, I asked so many questions but since my interview was conducted at the second round, the interviewers were in so rush. This bothered me so much. I had few more questions to ask but I could not ask. "
"Students were testing and were not available for questions. "
"Nothing, everyone was very nice, school is very small but that was expected."
"I wish I would have known that the overall process was not nearly as scary and intimidating as I expected it to be, there really is nothing to stress about. The whole process went very smoothly for me and that is saying a lot because I was NERVOUS."
"the location is that it's really in the mountain with nothing around..."
"The school was on a mountain..."
"It takes them a while for interviews to start, and I got hungry."
"none"
"n/a"
"direction! Call the school to ask for direction. google and mapquest aren't reliable!"
"Nothing."
"nothing really..the school's website tells you everything you need to know about what to expect. "
"I wish I had known that my phone wouldn't work there and they don't really have wireless in A LOT of areas."
"That the Pharmacy school was just a building"
"That the city is on the side of a mountain. "
"location"
"The location."
"no cell phone reception, a lo of waiting around"
"If I done more research on the school since it's so new therefore it's hard to find information about it. But if I have known where it's locate then I would probably not attend the interview. I don't know if I want to spend my pharmacy school years (3) in this desserted town. Beside the fact that this school is not yet been accerdited."
"Living condition of the town-very isolated."
"I wish I had thought of more ways I have recently helped others"
"Be prepared, don't be too confident but be confident in what you say. Also, have many questions prepared to talk to fellow students and faculty member."
"I fell in love with this school the minute I stepped in the door. For those of you reading this to prepare for an upcoming interview, do not stress out about it! Just relax and try to enjoy the day, everyone there is rooting for you to succeed."
"People and students were nice."
"If you want to minimize distractions, this is definitely the place for you. If you need excitement and action, steer clear at all costs."
"Great school and program -- location became a deciding factor because you're going to be there for at least two years just didactic bookwork and volunteering during your tenure as student. If you love the outdoors or is an outdoorsy type of person this remote college is perfect for your studies."
"Few people at this interview. For the most part, the previous students, staff, and faculty were very nice. I got my letter of acceptance a week later=)"
"You are asked a few questions by some P2 students before the faculty interview. Talking with the student that gave me the tour was the most interesting part of the entire day. "
"i showed up at 8:30am, waited for 3hrs before i was interviewed. had 5 mins lunch due to time overlap (interviewee before me took forever)....everything was over by 1:45pm"
"Was very laid back. I would just relax and go with the flow. If you don't like rural areas then you probably won't like it. Also, they seem to want down to earth people you enjoy helping the underserved."
"We basically got there at 8:30 and reported to the student lounge where we had breakfast and talked amongst ourselves. Then we were split into two groups and starting at 9:00 group I had their student led tour followed by there one-on-one interview. Group II got to do their introduction and essay assignment. Vickie Keene also went over the student files one-by-one to make sure all requirements were in order. At 12 we all reported to the gym (classroom) where we had lunch and again talked amongst ourselves... then Group II had their student tours followed by interviews and Group I had the introduction/file review. The whole thing was over by 2:30. "
"I arrived at 8:30, had breakfast, chit-chat a little bit with the other interviewees. Each of us had our own folder to tell which group we would be in. I was in the second group, so we did the orientation first while the students in group 1 had their interviews. During the orientation, the Dean talked about the school, the financial aid, etc..etc...just trying to sell the school to us. Then after she was done, Vickie Keene, the director of admissions, passed out a questionnaire and an essay for us to write. It was easy. Then after we were done, Vickie sat down with us, one-on-one, and went over to files to see what was still missing. After that was lunch. I had to wait until 2:00 for my interview. So I just basically sat there and chit-chatting with the current students. They seemed very supportive of the school and very nice. When I walked in, they told me that they will introduce themselves and then I have to introduce myself to them. Then they have 4 questions that they ask everybody there on that day. "
"I was given a name tag when I got there and told to wait in a room where other people that came for the interview were also waiting. Then UACP students came in and intoduced themselves and told us to ask any questions before the interview. We were then given breakfast(which was nice). We were then split up into 2 groups-one group were going to be interviewed and the other group was going to listen to a speech given by the dean. I was then taken on a tour of the facility by one of the student. I then went for my interview."
"The whole experience was laid back. "
"go eat breakfast, then one group goes and hears what the faculty has to say, ans an essay and a pharmacy experience questionaire. then you eat lunch take a tour and do your interview and leave"
"It was alright."
"I was very disappinted by their curriculum. I thought this institution was built for serving for underdeveloped citizens. But, it seems like they do not have specific plan and existing services sounded so commonsense to me. "
"I was really nervous, but the interviewers wanted you to relax and be yourself (which was hard to do)!! Good experience overall."
"I had a great time. The traveling was terrible as I live in Arizona and the interview was in Virginia. The town is very small but the area is beautiful."
