"It went well. I got accepted but I got into USC (thank goodness). UOP is not a good place to learn pharmacy. It may be a 3 year program but the tution is what kills off the good deal.

"UOP was not at the top of my list, and when I went to the interview I had already gotten my acceptance from USC. I figure I would check out the school anyway, so I came there without really preparing. However, I was very impressed by the school's faculty, facilities, and students. They were all very nice to me (especially my faculty interviewer). We had a great conversation, and it did not seem like an interview at all! I also liked how we had a tour (unlike USC where it was just interview, writting, and you're done). The only reason why I am not going to UOP (I got my acceptance last week) is because it did not seem to have man opportunities for research. And the location, its in the middle of nowhere. I would be bored out of my mind. Overall, UOP is a great school. If location is not important to you, I would definitely give UOP a chane. " More from this Member | Report Response

I wasn't prepared for one of the faculty member's questions b/c she discussed what she did for awhile and then asked me if I had any questions about what she described--so pay attention! It's a good idea to have a few questions ready. It doesn't hurt to request their card at the end if you can remember, to thank them later. Also, try to squeeze in things about yourself in your responses that you think are important--I felt like there was much I didn't get the chance to say when the interviews were over, and that left me uneasy."

I'm not sure how many they're gonna accept but UOP is known to have a pretty large class so the odds seem pretty favorable. If you get to inteview, pat yourself on the back. They had like 1900 apps and only interview about 1/6. Good luck!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews with the faculty member and student were very relaxed. It was like have a conversation with someone.

So relax!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I saw the campus the day before and ran into the Dean of the Pharmacy School. He was very nice and actually took some time to speak with my family. However, on the day of the interview, the rest of the student body did not seem excited to be at the school. However, what really killed the experience was my faculty interviewer. For my twenty minute interview, he spoke for at least half the time. I found out later that he was one of the most difficult and quirky professors in the school. My student interviewer was fine. I think if I had another faculty interviewer, my experience would have been more positive." More from this Member | Report Response

"When I first read about UOP on SDN, I was so disappointed with all the negative comments. After visiting UOP, I was VERY impressed.

UOP is a great school with an awesome curriculum, but with a class size of 200 (with half being there own students)and total debt of about $150,000 after graduating, going to this school might not seem so good esp. considering the shortage of pharmacists in cali is going to end around 2007 and 2008. the place that i live in as of now, is fully saturated with pharmacists, 2 years ago we barely had any. so all in all, if i had to do it all over again, i would of not applied to this school considering the pro's and con's."

"Hmm...UOP is a good school if you want to get a Pharm D. in 3 years and not get outside distraction. Despite being accepted a few weeks after my interview, I don't think I'll end up going there since I'm looking for a school that offers much more than a degree. The non refundable $500 deposit I threw down is killing me now. SERENITY NOW!" More from this Member | Report Response
