"Have you worked in a pharmacy?" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Scenario given: I am a pharmacist, & a woman comes in to fill a prescription for her child. While she's waiting for you to fill it, she goes up to the front of the store and buys a carton of cigarettes. She comes back to pick up the prescription, and when I show her how much it costs, she refuses to pay it (even though it costs around as much as the carton of smokes she's just purchased). What do I do?" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"They gave me this scenario - one professor comes in...lectures and gives you the mateiral one has to know; while another one comes in...gives you assignments and topics you have to read( self-study)- the class time is supposed to be used only for answering any questions or problems...so he bascically doesn't teach the traditional way...---and then I was asked to comment on that.."

"Why the career change (IT management/system implementation to pharmacy)?" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"This was tough because it was wierd--they asked me what I would do if an old lady came to the pharmacy...and was just lost... I answered it well ...i mean its kindof obvious that one would be empathetic and try to figure out what is wrong, and why she is there and try to locate a relative or caretaker etc...and i said that..but she just looked blankly at me!! (the question was asked by one of the student interviewers)" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Read SDN interview experiences & pharm/pre-pharm message boards. Extensively read the school's website. Tried, rather unsuccessfully, to find out more about the Wilkes-Barre area. Reminded myself to be professional and composed during the interview no matter how tough it got. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Some of the common questions I was prepared for...other than that...i just knew what i want out of life..just be clear about your motivations etc.." More from this Member | Report Response

"How personable and professional everyone was." More from this Member | Report Response

"I like that the school is small...the dedication of the faculty was impressive. I already know that th enaplex scores for wilkes have been amazing over the years. Also I think the student life there is better than any place i've seen...they have wonderful commuter lounges..and the cafetaria and food was realy good.. its a place any student would be very comfortable in..."

"The lack of diversity in the student body relative to the diversity of a Philadelphia-area school's student body." More from this Member | Report Response

"That the school offers no...and i mean none..not even a single $ to transfers who come in with a bachelors.. Plus...their system for interview was not th ebest...You take the interview as soon as you get there...I was interviewed by 5 people...they literally drilled me...they only take 20 minutes to get to know you...and then when I asked a question in the end-- the guy got totally stuck and was silent for ..like 2 minutes!! But yeah...its tough alright..don't expect them to go easy and try to relieve your nerves before anything...almost anyone I talked to had the same impression...Its going to be direct, and very fast...so really be prepared."

"Not to listen to the school employee who, while strolling through the waiting area, informed me that the police wouldn't ticket me where I was parked. $10 later..." More from this Member | Report Response

"They had only 6 seats for transfers!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I knew it would be competitive, since Wilkes essentially has a 6-year program. I heard that they accept 4-6 transfers per year into the 3rd year. So I was quite nervous. I felt like I had an almost instant rapport with the faculty member who "ran" my interview, and that my advanced age (30) granted my motivations a seriousness: I have fewer years to make up for a mistake than a 19-year-old does. " More from this Member | Report Response

"When you first go in they check your size for a lab coat..take a picture...go wait in a sitting area which is surrounded by the interview rooms...someone will come and get you soon!! and then be prepared because the 20 minutes go by so quick...each interviewer asks a couple questions. Then they give you a chance to ask them questions. After that you can leave the room while they sit there for about 10 minutes and deliberate...scary!! The we took a 45 minutes long critical thinking test...easy...then a 30 minute long essay..easy again..they don't care about your stand on the issue just your writing style, composition, grammer etc." More from this Member | Report Response
