What are your general comments?

"I signed up at the pharmacy office and handed them my supplemental application, money order, and official transcripts. It was a really warm day (80F) and very humid, and the AC didn't work properly so whlie we were testing (25-minute essay and 25-minute math quiz), everyone was sweating like a pigs. There was a lot of delay before the testing, so we ended up having very little time to tour the school, so we basically toured the different floors of the pharmacy building (took only about 10 minutes). The tour was lead by a 4th year student. After touring the building, we had only 5 minutes left to get to our designated interview spots. She accomodated for those who needed to fly out of DC later that afternoon by placing those interviewees to the earlier interview spots. I interviewed with Dr. Scott, who was incredibly sweet. The entire interview was very much like a conversation. He sometimes went off tangent to talk about different schools in California and the winery (I'm from California). He was really impressed that I had a lot of questions for him at the end, so really study the school and their curriculum." Report Response
