"Just review your pharmcas application; specifically your personal statement.

Also, before you interview try to picture yourself as a pharmacist and how you would interact w/ other pharmacist, nurses, patients, and doctors. My interviewers seemed very interested w/ my experience as a hospital pharmacy tech and how I interacted w/ nurses, patients, and doctors. Also, if you are interested in research mention it in both your cover letter and the interview.
