"Tell me about yourself." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What does your boyfriend think about you leaving?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What kind of pharmacy work (chain, independent, hospital, etc.) do you see yourself doing?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I wasn't asked much that I didn't expect. -Why pharmacy? -Why Mercer? -What will you do with your degree? -Do you have questions for me? (HAVE QUESTIONS TO ASK! If you are a volunteer oriented person, ask about volunteer opportunities that Mercer offers. Big +)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Honestly, the most difficult thing was to just talk about yourself. It was the whole, ''before we start the expected questions, why don't you just tell me a little bit about yourself'' deal." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I drove up to Atlanta the night before to make sure that I was able to get to Mercer on time. Luckily, my cousin lives up there so I was able to stay with her. Advice: -Think about your answers to the obvious questions that they will ask. -Prepare an ''about me'' introduction in case they ask you to ''tell us about yourself.'' -Have questions to ask them. -Know what sets Mercer apart from other pharmacy schools so that it shows you've done your research. -There is no reason at all to be nervous about this interview. It is not in the least bit intimidating. (This is coming from the biggest bundle of nerves you will ever meet)" Report Response
"I liked Mercer's small campus. It's unlike other pharmacy schools in that it is not as upscale and high class as you would expect which made me, a very simple girl, feel much more at home. It seems like the students are close and like everyone knows everyone." Report Response
"Nothing that I can think off right away which goes to show that even if there was something it was obviously insignificant." Report Response
"I just got to see the campus for the first time and loved it." Report Response
"When we arrived, the group of us (20 or so) sat in a large conference room around a big table. The dean and several other important people gave us an introduction to Mercer, told us about the day, and gave us an opportunity to ask questions. Then I was taken (with a smaller group of 4 others) on a tour of the campus by a P2 student who was really cool. This was an opportunity to ask the questions you don't want to ask important people (How much free time do you have? What is there to do in Atlanta? Etc.); this person was not an interview (or a spy or anything like that). Then there was a 30 minute interview with a faculty member or alumni that was pretty informal. It seemed to me like the type of conversation I have with anyone when they ask my major and why and about me. After that interview I had a student interview with a P1 student which was pretty much amazing. It was the same type of questions, and it was beneficial to me because he already had experience at Mercer so I got to learn thing from him. The last thing we did was return to the conference room for 30 minutes and ''mingle'' with everyone. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until 15 minutes had passed that mingling time had started; I was under the impression that we were going to take our seats again, but we didn't. That was it. Talk to the important people, to the current students, and to the other applicants. The experience was wonderful." Report Response
