What are your general comments?
1) Dean explained his program and school.
2) Q&A session
3) Three individual interviews
4) Personal essay
5) Group project
6) Student tour
I was incredibly nervous throughout my interview because it was my first. My voice shook when the dean asked me to first introduce myself in front of the group. Like in all group interviews, try to be prepared with something unique about yourself for when you're introduced to everyone. ASK YOUR INTERVIEWERS QUESTIONS!!! Have AT LEAST 3 questions lined up for your interviewers. But you're smart if you made it this far so most of the questions will come off the top of your head. Becareful not to have the dean answer ALL of your questions. ;) He's incredibly informative so save some questions for your interviewers.
-Don't worry about the group project. The professor makes it a great learning experience for everyone.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Would you be willing to disrobe around fellow students for physical assessments?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN daily, informed myself about current issues in pharmacy, formed my own opinions on the most contraversial issues in pharmacy and healthcare, and the interview feedback helped tremendously.
What impressed you positively?
The dean! Dr. Supernaw is so convincing he could sell me a rusted car on blocks! He was so passionate about his program and I completely agreed with many of his thoughts on the future for pharmacy... and how Wingate's program is built to prepare us like med school students are prepared. I was certainly inspired after his talk.
What impressed you negatively?
We asked so many questions with the Dean that we took up too much of the scheduled time. Our 3 individual interviews were EXTREMELY short. My first interview was only 5 minutes. The next felt like 7 minutes. The third was around 7 minutes too.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The topic of the group project. ;) It was a great learning experience though.
