What are your general comments?

When I first read about UOP on SDN, I was so disappointed with all the negative comments. After visiting UOP, I was VERY impressed. Basically, judge the school for yourself, don't just listen to other people's reviews. By the way, the faculty member doesn't have any of your files, but the student interviewer does. They interview you seperatley. Two, 25 minute interviews.

Why UOP if you have 5 other schools to choose from? Why pharmacy? Tell me about yourself.

SDN, read up on current events, practiced questions in my head, asked pharmacists.

What was the most difficult question?

Other than education, what do you think you will take with you from your experience at UOP?

What impressed you positively?

The new building was amazing. They are very high-tech and really seem to care about their students. The dorms are new and spacious. Overall, I got more than what I expected

What impressed you negatively?

The city around it. I am from L.A so I'm not used to the low-maintanence lifestyle of Stockton. But, it's only two years that you actually have to stay there, so I can handle it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To take an earlier flight home.
