What are your general comments?
IT's a VERY VERY LONG interview. The faculty and staff seem really nice and helpful, the students are really proud of their school and show it too. If the school was in a different city, it'd be a wonderful school. The building is nice and parking wouldn't be a problem. Make sure you get enough sleep because towards the end, the day drags and so do your eyes. There's an orientation that lasts almost 2 hours, your critical thinking test for 45 min, your writing section (response to an ethical dilemma) for another 45 min, a break for lunch (which was cut short to about 45 min instead of an hour), a quick tour of the building, a session about getting the required laptop, your 30-min interview with a student and faculty member, the group situational exercise where you'll have to present for about 2 minutes then undergo fairly rigorous questioning, questioning pharmacy students, and FINALLY the wrap up where they talk about immunization, finaid, and the timeline. It's as long as that. SEVEN hours so be prepared.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How many hours did you take per semester?
What was the most interesting question?
the questions were really relaxed, it wasn't really question-answer type interview. Topics just pop up and you go with it. IT's much more of a conversation.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, previous intervies
What was the most difficult question?
Do you REALLY think you can succeed in school and why? (there was a recent drop out, so they're asking if you'll drop out)
What impressed you positively?
The school is new, the curriculum is excellent, and the students seem to be well-prepared to transition to the work field.
What impressed you negatively?
locaton location location...it doesn't have a great location. There doesnt really seem to be too many people in the '20's age group. There's the Palo Duro Canyon nearby, but the city itself is NOT great
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
FLY...don't drive, it's too far and too stressing to fly. If you taxi to the school, the staff will help you find free transportation to the airport
