What are your general comments?

"the overall time i was in the school for the interview was 2 hours. it was a very friendly and positive atmosphere. there was a brief essay (30 min), one-on-one interview (30 min) and a tour (1 hour). This school is NOT for everyone. The students on this campus (worcester) are older (avg. 27-30) and there is not room to make mistakes with grades. a mistake in one class will set you back a FULL YEAR. since the school is so small, all of the students have the same schedule, and it is a year round program, so anything you have to retake will be with the next year's students. There is not a ton of stuff to do in the immediate area, so if this is important to you, keep looking. Personally, I LOVED this school. It suits me perfectly. The area is something I can deal with for two+ years of my life. The staff is very friendly, and they all have personal relationships with all of the students. This school is very accommodating to out of state students during the rotations. They allow two 5 week rotations to be done in your home town (state) if you desire. There seems to be a very good group of students and faculty working together as a well-oiled machine. Good choice for older, mature, serious students wishing to complete their PharmD in an accelerated program (2yrs, 9 months)." Report Response
