⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The overall experience was great!! Walked into the lobby to check in, went upstairs to mingle with the other interviewees, had a short informational session, had my first interview with a faculty member (30 minutes) and my second with a third year student (a little over 30 minutes), and then we were free to leave.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Are you competitive with yourself or others?
What was the most interesting question?
Where are the best bowling centers in the Chapel Hill area? (in regard to the question, "How do you deal with stress," I mentioned that one of the things I do is bowl regularly when at school)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Asked friends that are first and second year students in the pharmacy school what they were asked and what to expect, looked at the post-interview feedback for UNC here on SDN, reviewed over my PharmCAS application and the essay for the pharmacy school, thought of questions to ask my interviewers, and reviewed over my responses to the obvious questions (Why UNC, etc.).
What was the most difficult question?
Once in pharmacy school, how will you contribute in a non-health related way to the community off campus? (I just drew a temporary blank here that gave a small scare, but recovered OK)
What impressed you positively?
The eagerness that the faculty, students, and staff have to learn about us as much as we have to learn about them and the pharmacy school.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Unlike my friends' interview experiences at the pharmacy school in years' past, there is no essay or quiz at your interview this year (at least at my session).
Success!
