How did you prepare for the interview?

"SDN interview feedback, mock interview with old boss, typed up answers to commonly asked questions, read over supplemental and pharmcas applications" Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The students all seemed really enthusiastic and happy to be there. There are so many extracurricular activities to get involved with. They provided cookies and water, which was a great snack in between all the activities." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"My faculty interviewer seemed a little bitter about pharmacy, either that or he was just playing devil's advocate during the interview. Either way, it threw me off a little bit. After reading these SDN reviews, I expected to get a really friendly interviewer." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Definitely get there 15-30 mins before your scheduled ''check-in'' time. My check-in was 12:30. I arrived at 12:15, and felt like I barely had enough time to use the restroom before they were seating us and handing out nametags. If you need to use the restroom, definitely do so before you check in. They didn't seem to be so flexible about letting people leave the room once they'd checked in." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall, I'm not sure how I did. It was my first interview, and I was pretty nervous! My faculty interviewer sort of threw me for a loop, but I think I answered the questions as well as possible, given the situation. I definitely feel better prepared for the next interview though!"
