"The friendliness of all the students and faculty" More from this Member | Report Response

"EVERYTHING. From the moment I walked into the building, I was approached with one of my counselors. She gave me an introduction of how the interview process would go and you will be directed to go into a room with pharmacy students. You would be given the chance to mingle and ask any questions about the program. When I came, there were many P1 students so I didn't ask any residencies questions. Either way, you'll be able to meet current students. One impressive thing about UH COP interview process is that they want you to like their school. As in, they're trying to interview you, but they want you to make sure that UH is the school for you as well. They welcome any type of questions and are very responsive to your needs. Back to the interview, I had my one-on-one first. My interviewer had two other students in the room, but they didn't ask any questions. I was nervous at first since there were 3 pairs of eyes staring at me, but they were quiet so I started to ease up. Overall, my interviewer did a great job with getting to know me. As compared to all the other schools I went on an interview with this year, UH is the school that actually got to know me which is rare even though I went to 3 interviews before UH. My group interview was extremely fun. I love my teammates and I hope many of them got in. They were cooperative and enjoyable. Within the 30 minutes, I actually got to see a little bit of their personalities and started to crack jokes in the end. The day overall was impressive and thank goodness UH accepted me. I would be very disappointed if they didn't." More from this Member | Report Response

But no complaints, I got in!!! =)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing. There was the fact that the waiting room where all the P1's and P2's and interviewees are right beside the room where everyone else was doing there writing assignment.

"I wish I would have known it would be so laid back, so I wouldn't have wasted my time being all nervous. Not to take it too lightly or anything, but they made the environment friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"bring a watch for the essay - they have a clock but having it in front of you helps. AND take your time reading the group interaction story. they do not allow you to look back at the handout. it helps when things get confusing because you or others interpreted something differently. i was already prepared for it but for the essay, think bigger and globally -ie, what is for the greater good rather than the select few. it will help. stick with your point and support it. you'll use this in the group interaction to. and "interact" with the group..it is a group interaction after all-smile, discuss, and share your thoughts." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not to be as stressed out. I was stressed walking in, but I came out feeling very positive and welcome. Objectively, my academics were not very good except for my PCAT. My GPA was just a little over 3 and I had little extracurricular or volunteer experience. I went in a little intimidated by everyone else's GPA and other credentials. However, I think I was able to show my positive attributes throughout the day that could not be shown on paper. I landed an interview, so they must have seen something in me. I've received my acceptance letter and it's almost too good to be true! For those of you who are stressed out trying to get in, don't lose hope. If you've landed an interview, you've definitely got a fighting chance." More from this Member | Report Response

"It is not that stressful as one may think! The faculty and staff will make you feel welcome and comfortable." More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish I would have known to converse more with the applicants I was with when they first corraled us into our interview groups. It helps so much more with the group interviews when you already know, and have exchanged words with the people you will be doing your group interview with. Therefore, you can work better during the group excercise. And also, be nice to everyone, the people you are around could possibly your classmates for the next 4 years.

"Always help the injured person first. You'll understand when you get there." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview started at 8:15am and I got there at 6:30am. If I had known that it would take me a short time to get there I would have relaxed and gotten some more sleep. I was out there in the cold and all alone in the street because the building was locked." More from this Member | Report Response

"Be honest, very friendly staff." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had one faculty interviewer for the 1:1 and there were about 10 people observing the group exercise." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall the interview process is the best by far. The faculty are really nice, the interview is like a conversation! And the students are extremely helpful. The group exercise isn't hard, a little intimidating at first, but it was an interesting topic! Don't stress over it too much and get a good night sleep!" More from this Member | Report Response

"You will love this interview and everything that UH has to offer. Enjoy it! :)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Before I went to the interview I was still wavering between UT or UH, but everything about the entire day sealed the deal. Definitely going to attend UHCOP! =)" More from this Member | Report Response

"get there about fifteen minutes ahead of your interview time because parking is confusing." More from this Member | Report Response

"UH is a great school. I really enjoyed talking with the current students. They were very candid and friendly. " More from this Member | Report Response

"bunch of chit chat" More from this Member | Report Response

"They give you a schedule of what you will be doing when you arrive. It helps to break the ice with all the other candidates in the room everyone looks so nervous and we could all see it. Then depending on you schedule they take you to different sections. One good thing you can do is ask around and find out who has the group assignment at the same time you do and get aquainted, this helps later. The biggest advice I have for everyone is the group excerise, the goal is to not give in but come to a consensus on your ideas. Most importantly do not fight, make you ideas known and encourage others to make their ideas known. The writing is cake and I am horrable at writing. Just find a reason to do one or the other, and stick with it." More from this Member | Report Response

"overall, very good! " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was great. UH has the process down to a science. Very little lag time, and the down time that you do have can be spent visiting with current students and faculty." More from this Member | Report Response

"Awesome!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very casual, the interview is at the end of the day and they look at your personal statement for a lot of questions " More from this Member | Report Response

"I thought the one on one interview did not go well since my interviewer was so serious. The group exercise is frustrating and the writing exercise seemed pointless. The students were great and very honest so you know what to expect." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was a nervous wreck... Be more relaxed when you go into your interview. It is not that bad and just try to do your best." More from this Member | Report Response

"I hated the group part. It felt like I was in an experiment and there were scientists watching me. My group members didn't listen to me and having all the serious observers and a professor watching us just added to the stress. I think our group messed up on that part, because we reached agreement way too fast. :/" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very casual they just want to get to know you, on the group project just make sure you talk and give your idea and reasons you don't have to be right just helpful and willing to work to compromise" More from this Member | Report Response

"Over all, I had a very good time at the interview. The interview was done by a faculty. Their main goal is not to scare you but to get to know you beyond just your test score or transcripts. I thought all of the current students in the university was very positive and helpful in responding to my questions. I also thought the group problem solving session was really fun. The essay was kind of weird but nothing too scary. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a great experience. Although I was there for 5 hours, it didn't feel that long at all. When I wasnt writing the essay, doing the group project, or talking to my interviewer, I spent most of the time in the holding room talking to current students." More from this Member | Report Response

"this was my number one school and i wanted to be sure that they treated the students with as much respect as we gave them so i paid attn to how they treated us individually and as a group - they passed my test for sure. my interviewer was Dr Simpson who was extremely easy to talk to and put me at ease with her easy going personality. everyone i met including the applicants wished us all a good interview. i liked the prospective group of students UH selected" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very welcoming experience with little stress. Interview with Dr. Wallace was very pleasant. Writing prompt is pretty typical for interviews. The group activity wasn't very stressful and was kinda fun. Be an active team member! After talking to some current students, I got a very positive impression of UH."

"The one-on-one was very smooth. We talked a lot about extracurricular activities and time management. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I believe that my interview went well. Everyone was nice, and made you feel comfortable. I just wish that my interviewer didn't rush through my interview so much!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I ended up liking the school even more after my visit. It was mainly the students, staff and faculty that made me totally love the school. I got there at 9 and talked with students before they took me for my file review. Following that I read over the "group" problem and finished my essay. After that we had our group assignment. I was lucky to have a great group that got along really well. Following this was my interview with Dr. Wallace --- who was SUPER nice. Throughout the day we got to talk to the current pharm. students who answered a lot of my questions. This is a great pharmacy school and I'm so glad its in Texas!!! " More from this Member | Report Response

"the whole experience was great. i was totally impressed with the organization of the thing!" More from this Member | Report Response

"My overall experience was very positive. Everybody there was very nice and made me feel welcome. I just stayed relaxed and tried to be myself." More from this Member | Report Response

"There was a writing sample, a group exercise, and the interview. Between each step, there was time to talk to current UH students and some staff. Everyone wants you to relax and do well. If this interview stresses you, you need to consider therapy. It's really laid back. Go into it with a relaxed, confident, positive attitude and you'll be fine. Anyway, you should be relaxed and confident because you are one of the few applicants that got invited for an interview. So have some fun. The actual one-on-one interview was simple. You basically sit in an office with a faculty member and talk to him/her. They ask you some questions, you talk, and that's it. I would recommend reviewing the questions on this site, but don't memorize answers. Just have general ideas about what you want to talk about. Be yourself. You don't have to be perfect. Just relax and talk. It sounds simple because it is." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was really good. I think that one of the things that helped me to get in the most was my group interview. I took over. I was the leader. I set up a plan, and urged others for their opinion. I was later told by one of the student evaluators, that I was the best!! My advice is dress REALLY nice. I would suggest a pants suit for both sexes, but it is not necessary. Of course, closed-toe shoes. Be yourself, but extra friendly (not fake, though)" More from this Member | Report Response

"There was both a group interview and a one-on-one interview which was nice. There was also a group exercise which turned out to be a lot of fun. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, very nice people and very organized. The interviewer was very nice." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were about 20 people interviewed on that day including me. We all had different scheduling times and to some extent different items. I had my one-on-one interview with Dr. Wallace. He was very nice and funny. I guess he was impressed when I told him I was so early for the interview because it meant I was serious about what I wanted. Also I had made a list of questions to ask him which also impressed him(I came prepared). After that was the preparation for the group discussion and the essay writing. I guess the topic for the essay was hard. We were asked to write only in pens. I saw one of the applicants really attacking his paper, scribbling and scratching out. His paper was really a mess. I guess that gave me confidence that I was not alone in thinking the topic was hard and I actually did a decent job(my paper was very neat). The group discussion was very interesting. We(6 applicants) were all laughing and making decisions. For a moment I forgot it was an interview and I was discussing with friends. We all felt at ease with each other. The scenario was: Six of us went on a camping expedition and one of us was attacked by a bear and left unconscious. We had to decide on the fastest way to get him medical attention given a list of items which we took on our trail. We had to prioritize the items in order of importance and choose the best strategy." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview is extremely well organized. Staff members help to guide you from place to place and there's plenty of time to relax and speak to fellow pharmacy students. The professor who interviewed me was genuinely excited to teach at the school, to interview prospective students, and give a great impression of the school. Asking a simple question develops into a lengthy answer so my interview lasted an hour (possibly because I was the last person the interviewer had to interview). The writing portion was not complicated and everything is on the 'honor system' to time yourself 45 minutes to write and analzye the group project preparation. This is probably the most relaxed and organized interview. I received my letter 2 weeks later." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day went quickly. The interviewer was very friendly and explained some excellent post-Pharm D. options that I found interesting. The students were also very friendly and made the atomosphere comfortable. They are quick to give you an answer...I was accepted 2 weeks later." More from this Member | Report Response

"There was no stress when I entered my interview. Everyone was completely nice and willing to answer questions. The interview consisted of a writing portion, group assessment, and a one-on-one interview with a professor from the college of pharmacy. My interviewer was just about the nicest guy and made it relaxed as possible. It lasted about 4 hours with many gaps inbetween to meet other pharmacy students. They are very organized. I received my acceptance letter 2 weeks later." More from this Member | Report Response

"dr. wallace was really easy to talk to. just get him started and he'll do all the talking. my interview was supposed to be 30 min, but it just went on n on to about 50 min, then paige had to drag me downstairs from his office to do the teamwork exercise. its really casual, nothing to be afraid of. the ppl there made me feel like being home. the teamwork exercise was rather intimidating in the beginning though. the interview doesn't have to go in order, so if you get there early." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was fairly low stress, and everyone was really nice. I just wish I'd gotten there a bit earlier." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a very laidback interview. The interview process consisted of a one-on-one interview with a faculty member, a short essay (we were given a problem and two solutions -- our task was to defend one of the solutions), and a "team-building" exercise where we were observed by students discussing and interacting with one another."
