Tell us about yourself and how you came to be interested in the profession of pharmacy?

Looked over some practice questions online

Why did you get a "C" in Western Civilization (a class that I took 11 years ago--AWKWARD!)
What impressed you positively?
The building is beautiful. Nice labs and study rooms.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
The interview day atmosphere was not really welcoming. I would make the opportunity to mingle with the current students a part of a pre-interview session, if nothing else but to see smiling faces and get some jitters out. We were marched straight to the interview rooms without any real introduction to the school. This was in stark contrast to other similarly-ranked schools that I interviewed at.
