Way better than all the other schools i went to so far (UOP and USC). All the students that came in to talk to us were very enthusiastic about the school and LOVED it there. There was a one hour orientation that went indepth of the school and it's curriculum. The location of hte school is great. There's so many things in SD that will more than prepare you for a pharmD degree--scripps, scripps institute of oceanography, children's hospital, VA hospital, UCSD medical center, free clinics... LOTS. They also offered marine pharmacology which sounds cool."
"accepting 60 out of 1058 people (I got one), the intensive curriculum, the beautiful surrounding. "
"The interviewers were so cool! So laid back and friendly. As were the students. Everyone just seemed really happy to be there and excited about the future of the school."
"The aesthetics of the campus, the new building & dynamic possibilities of the program, the friendly interviewers and chatters"
"It will be a great program, hard but great! It is a gorgeous campus. The students are enthusiastic, love the school and have great relationships with the faculty."
"The Pharm D. program has recently received generous funding and the brand-new pharmacy building will be ready in early 2006! They're also expanding the biomed library to accomodate new materials for the program."
"Love the area, the presentation the dean made and the way they think about developing pharmacists were awesome. And they got a $30 million grant and are building new pharmacy buildings."
"It's insane how much money the school has, which is good because the new pharmacy school builiding will be top-notch and the school will be able to recruit excellent faculty members."
"Faculty and students are friendly."
"the enthusiasm of the faculty members"
"The faculty are VERY enthusiastic about their school, and for good reason because there is a lot of money from a lot of influential people going into this school. They were honest in saying that the academic curriculum would be extremely rigorous."
"friendly students and faculty;very organized and to the point"
"They are admitting at least 60 students so I know I have at least a 33% chance of gaining entrance to the UCSD pharmacy program (200 students were interviewed)"
"The relationship between the faculty and the students. The size of the class."
"I loved the students; extremely friendly and encouraging. Faculty seemed very excited about the new school."
"How laid back it was."
"How open and excited the faculty were about their program. They really seem to care about improving their education and tailoring it to fit what they perceive as fitting for future pharmacists"
"Everything, they have a very academically challenging curriculam and expect you to perform as well as their med students. Everyone was extremely nice and they have a very prestigious faculty."
"The students and faculty members are extremely excited about the program and have developed an extremely challenging but strong curriculum which seems to truly prepare you for a long future in pharmacy"
"How easy going and nice everyone was. They tried to keep everyone as calm as they could."
"the campus and the area. drinks and snacks were provided."
"The integration with the medical school, how friendly everyone was (although only saw one student- apparently they were all in class), how gung-ho they are, la jolla (duh!), the size of the class is tiny (30!....could be good or bad)"
"The location of the school, and the potential strength of program this UC school will offer."
"How awesome the campus is. Its in freaking Lajolla (sp?) for christ sake! The beach is literally right across the campus. "
"everyone was really enthusiastic and excited on the progression of the new school. they seemed very confident that ucsd will become one of the top pharmacy schools in the nation in a short amount of time. "
"The campus is gorgeous and the student are really nice. Great place to live in."
"Seeing the beach was nice, school looks modern and sleek. Interview was pretty relaxed, i liked the easy essay questions and my interviewers were super nice"
"The students seemed very gung-ho about the school. The curriculum looks really amazing and integrated, though very demanding. They have high expectations for the school and are confident it will be a top school and offer great opportunities. They have recruited amazing researchers/faculty to work there and more will come when the building is done in 2005."
"The campus tour was not as informative as I would have liked. All of the buildings were closed since it was the weekend. But, since we were having an interview day I would have thought that they would open them so we could see/experience spaces that we would take classes or study in. Additionally, the students did not point me into the direction of information which could be improved. Instead they would just say they do not know - but not point me towards someone who does know."
"Very small alumni network."
"There was no on-campus tour"
"I found that my interviewers were very nice, but I couldn't tell if they were actually interested in what I was saying. They seemed almost patronizing, and it was very hard to read if I did "well" or not."
"My interview was on Saturday and I was really cold in my suit."
"The organization of the interview was a bit off. I came for a 12 o clock interview, but after a one hour orientation, I had to wait until 3:15 for my interview...it was a bit restless."
"I got there half an hour early and there were signs to where the pharmacy school was, but the signs didn't point directly at a sidewalk, so I got lost in the medical building at UCSD, which I arrived at the interview a few minutes late."
"nothing really~it was great!"
"We didn't get a formal tour of the school (but it's OK because I simply explored it on my own)."
"Taking classes with medical school students since there are many unnecessary classes to become a pharmacist."
"The pharmacy building seems isolated from the rest of the campus."
"no information about financial aid. no takehome remembrance from the school...they seemed in cut off budget no folder /newsletter/financial aid papers to takehome. "
"No formal tour. A bit worried about the pass/no pass, but I definitely liked that about the program."
"The grading system."
"Didn't get an official tour, even though we were told to ask the students to give us one, but I didn't have time."
"Curriculum can be difficult."
"No tour was offered."
"nothing really"
"The thought, ''It's UCSD. I'll be stuck here again for another 4 years.''"
"only 60 people accepted! :("
"Nothing."
"People started chatting in the room where we were all writing our essays. Those inconsiderate bitches should really shut up. We are trying to write a timed essay here. They really should have gone outside to start their conversations."
"It's a reallly new school."
"The interview was on a Monday, so all the students were in class taking a test and there were no students to talk to about the program. Because no students were free to help out with the interview, the interview was conducted by two faculty members. The faculty members seemed as though they weren't trying to be intimidating, but they still were. Having a student present during the interview would have made the experience much more enjoyable."
"That the program has not been around longer. "
"I've lived in San Diego for all of my life. I gave UCSD a mediocre culture rating not because the school isn't diverse, but because San Diego isn't as exciting as say, San Francisco or Las Vegas. San Diego is a little more culturally homogenous, a little more conservative. "
"nothing"
"new school, new building, sharing classrooms with med students..not accredited...only accepts 60....lights in presentation room kept flickering on and off."
"even though the class size is small, i'm not sure how personal it will be."
"the distracted environment where we wrote our essays- peoples' names were being called constantly, always interrupted"
"School didn't give us any formal campus tour (you have to ask the students to give you a tour if you want. But this is optional and I didn't ask since I was kind of nervous and nobody asked that.) "
"Not a thing!"
"The curriculum. I felt that they didn't provide enough practice for the students early on."
"Nothing. The presentation at the beginning intimidated me as it went over the intense curriculum and listed the high calibur faculty the school has worked to recruit but it just highlights the greatness that this school will achieve. "
"That we don't receive acceptance notices until March/April. How nerve-wracking for some of us!"
"Parking blows- but that's about it- so overall nothing to really complain about."
"On the day that I interviewed, all the pharm students were in classes so none of them had the opportunity to interview us. Later on in the day, some of them showed up and answered our questions about the school. It would have been nice to have one student and one faculty interview me instead of two faculty members."
"A little bit unorganize"
"the fact we were interviewed by two faculty members"
"Cramped quarters, although they are expanding, so you may not get to complain about this next year. Also, they didn't even time the essay-writing portion."
"I thought the interview was going to be a one on one basis, but I guess they decided to have two interviewers at the same time. (both interviewers were Pharm D)"
"You write your essay between the interview and the school presentation. You have time, but it's punctuated with a lot of different activities."
"the building of the school are kind of artificial; no artistic based structures; no intereting sites."
"Hard to find parking."
"I can't think of anything that was negative about the experience."
"the pharmacy does not have its own building"
"The room is kind of cramped to write your essay in, a formal tour of the campus would be nice."
"We were all cramped in the room that was smaller than some bedrooms. Also, the fact that the program is fairly new, and the curriculum is not fully developed as of yet."
"A previous poster had mentioned how they always deferred to how impressive their med school program was which is kind of true. I over heard some UCSD pharm student say that if you get your Pharm. D. here you're basically "like a doctor" because you take the same classes (although he failed to mention that its only CERTAIN types of classes) as the M.D. students. When I heard the comment, I was wondering how the student thought Pharm D.=M.D.? Eh?"
"the building that the interviews were in was a dump (the new building is not yet finished). the campus was not that nice. but la jolla is a beautiful city. "
"The school is not yet built, it will be completed in 2007. They seem more focus on their medical program than their pharmacy program, they kept on talking about they how great their medical school is and how pharmacy students are lucky to be able to take classes with med-students. They are really judgmental and they attack you during your interview."
"School seemed big and impersonal. Not much culture compared to my undergrad school (Berkeley). also, there was no tour!"
"There was some confusion about the timing of interviews, essay, etc. and some people missed their interview and had to do it later. Make sure to ask if no one comes to get you at the time on your card."
"The interview is CLOSED file. One interviewer is a current student (Student host) while the other interviewer is an alumni, professor, or somehow related to Skaggs"
"Where to park. I was almost late."
"where to park"
"This is probably due to my novice interview skills, but everyone else seemed to have notebooks containing their resumes and personal statements to look over while waiting for their interview. Luckily for me it didn't matter because I was one of the first to be interviewed."
"The school was very new for their pharmacy program and they don't have too many alumni to build a network."
"That I would have a lot of time to prep in between the orientation and my interview. I would've brought something to entertain myself."
"There are signs when you drive into the school of where you can park. I stopped by the visitor's center before finding out that there were signs in place at the school when you get in."
"There is nothing to be nervous about this interview. It's very easy-going style of interview."
"It would've been better if I elaborated more on my answers to better present my strengths."
"Nothing. Overall, it was a perfect interview day. I had a lot of fun, actually."
"If you like research, you will get an opportunity to talk to the dean about the PharmD/PhD Program."
"it's gonna rain. i didn't get to see the dean :("
"There is nothing that would have made a difference."
"They know everything about you and they took the time to read your application carefully."
"low stress, very informal (no time limit on essay)"
"That it was open file. The interviews around know a lot about you from your personal statements and supplemental essays. The interview serves so that they can know more out your personality and what kind of a leader are you,,,and if you are a stressed free jolly person or not. They are looking for people with natural intelligence and common sense, instead of a hardworker, who memorizes slides all day and can vomit everything out during an exam and then forget what he/she memorized next quarter. "
"If your interview time is at the beginning and then you have to write your essay, take it to the Biomedical Library and write it in there. By the time you return to the room to write your essay, students who are still waiting for their interview and have finished their essays will be chatting. It is incredibly distracting!"
"nothing."
"That early weekday interviews are conducted by two faculty members."
"They grade pass/fail! but other than they give you adequate information. Parking was free/close since it was a Saturday. "
"nothing"
"About 40 people were interviewed in the group i was in. and about 5 different pairs of interviewers were interviewing. Whether you get a hard or easy professor is all on luck."
"everyone is very relaxed. plenty of time to write the essay. the interview was casual, like a normal conversation "
"My interview was on Saturday (noon) and it was very bad traffic driving from Orange county. I left my house more than 2hrs before the interview time, but I was almost late to interview. Fortunately, I arrived there 10 min early but I was very nervous for the whole time."
"you're assigned specific times for the interviews... so you sit in a room until you are called and the rest of the time is for writing your essay."
"It was damp. No need to wake up at the crack of dawn to do my hair. "
"How much I would be impressed and love this school. . . unfortunately and fortunately, I had the tough decision to choose between this wonderful school and UCSF. If only I could combine both schools!!! "
"That it rains (or threatens to) in La Jolla. Thankfully it got sunny."
"I wish I hadn't been nervous because it was extremely casual, we even discussed the Academy Awards!"
"That wearing heels and walking from one end of the med school parking lot to the center of the school (where the interviews were conducted) can be quite a sacrifice. My poor feet!"
"how long it takes them to get back to you concerning the decision- not till the end of march/early april."
"Not to worry about the writing prompt. You basically have all the time you need to write your essay, of course, until you check out."
"no surprises"
"History of the school of pharmacy - the orientation covered this very thoroughly - kind of a "yawn-er" if you don't care."
"more about the faculty "
"I thought the interview was with one faculty and one pharmacy student. Only a few first year pharm students showed up later to answer questions. Second and third year pharm students did not attend or participate."
"How large the campus actually is"
"nothing to stress about"
"Get there early for parking, the fact that you complete your essay in between doing all of the other activities rather than having a set time."
"That the inerview was not going to be organized, and that you have an unlimited amount of time to complete the essay."
"nothing. everything was smooth"
" Nothing"
"I forgot to buy a parking permit, got a ticket"
"Parking was free and easy on Saturday so I did not need to arrive so early. I am sure weekdays are very different."
"UCSD is great. I think their program is the most laid back compared to UCSF and USC, yet it seems that their students are still highly motivated and they encourage collaborative learning."
"Harder than others made it sound."
"This was my first pharmacy school interview, so I am glad it was so laid back. I would recommend getting to know more about your interviewers when they ask if you have any questions for them. I only directed my questions to the pharmacy school student who was interviewing me, and neglected to find out more about the pharmacist interviewing me."
"Don't give up! they interview about 280 people and accept 110 (because they need to consider that some people won't end up going to the school). So if you are accepted for an interview you have 40% chance to get in! The staff and students are really nice there!"
"I loved UCSD. They had the orientation presentation that every school has, but I didn't know much about UCSD since it was considered a brand new school. They were telling us random facts about the school, and how the school has a state of the art pharmacy school, and is consistently improving and getting better. I loved the SoCal environment that UCSD has, and it was great to meet the faculty. My interview was 30 minutes and it was with one staff and one pharmacist. I talked for about 10 minutes while the interviewers talked for the rest of the time. They really made the environment really relaxed, and I showed a lot about myself and how I am with even my own friends. It was amazing how open they were and how interested they were in getting to know me. The essay was very chill. I started writing my essay, and they would call us out one-by-one for the interview, and I left my stuff, did my interview, and came back and finished my essay. I walked around the small campus when I finished my essay, and I talked to some of the pharmacy students as well as some of the interviewees. Overall, I loved UCSD, and after a month, I received my acceptance letter! =D"
"This school focuses on research/clinical so if looking for retail, not a good fit for you."
"Don't pretend to be interested in something because you think that's what the Pharmacy School wants you to be interested in it. Be honest with yourself on what it is you want to do with your life. Have stories and details on personal experiences ready to go. The interviewers will remember you because of your stories."
"I really hope I can get in. UCSD is a pretty good school and I like the close-knit environment."
"at the start you get to check in. dean talks. the 1 hour school presentation. 30 mins interview or you get to write your essay and continue writing after your interview. Interview is arranged by batch. then you get to go student room to chat with students. ask for tour coz there's really no formal tour. then check out."
"The writing sample was completely off the wall (see above). However, I wasn't too professional with my answer, but I hope it was a good read. I liked it."
"My interviewer just wanted to get to know me and didn't have prepared questions to ask. We just had a conversation. My interviewer was super-approachable and down-to-earth. Also, if you have time, stop by the host room and talk to the students. They are really nice. Oh yeah refreshments (water, coffee, tea) and granola bars were provided. Note: I made this entry by mistake before my actual interview, but I went back and entered it correctly."
"Very professionally-run interview, admissions staff and interviewees were very friendly."
"Like everyone else said, the interview was conducted in a very casual way. I had a professor and a 3rd year student interview me. Even though it was open-file, I felt like they didn't really ask me specific questions from my file (they only asked about one EC activity that i listed)."
"arrive at 7:45, powerpoint presentation about school philosophy, handout time for interview, essay writing"
"I went in completely relaxed coz I got into USC very early. I got very nervous half way into the interview since they ask extremely specific questions. I got in though so it worked out. The writing part is a piece of cake. Don't even worry about that part."
"Relaxed interview. Nice yet a bit quirky faculty interviewer. The essay topic was random yet easy to write (Q: What's your fave movie?)"
"great"
"I thought the overall experience was great. I left the interview feeling good about it, unlike many of the other ones I had previously. I thought that the interviewers were more interested about getting to know me as a person, rather than define me by my grades and the things I had accomplished. "
"Very fun, got free cookies and milk, which I recommend you drink after you do the interview. Some people had milk breath and surprisingly no one had a breath mint. They lead you to this room where you receive a presentation about how great this school is. Then, you get started on your essay. And all the while, interviewers will come in and call you and lead you to a room, where you will be with one professor and one first year student. The first question is 98%: tell me about yourself. Make this a conversation. Include the interviewers in your conversation because the interview is an interaction, which means both the interviewers and interviewee have to interact. Be friendly and honest. Don't give wishy-washy answers. They can tell if you suck. Therefore, just be youself. Don't stress, love the moment."
"This school is amazing. I had a very difficult time deciding between it and UCSF. You really can't go wrong, though! Also, I did terribly on the essay but did really well on the interview (that's why I gave myself 5/10), but they still accepted me, so don't stress out too much over the essay! Also, a vast majority of my questions came from my essays, so be sure to look over those!"
"It was a great interview experience. The interviewers were sooo nice. The faculty was trying to joke around with me and the pharmacy student was like the nicest person i have ever met."
"I thought I was terrible at the interview. I didn't think I connected with the interviewers, I was nervous the whole time, and I felt as though I failed big time after it was all done. The funny thing is that I still was offered a position in the program. I'm not quite sure how that worked out. They must have sensed that I had done my research on the school, I had prepared for the interview, and that I had a really strong desire to attend the school. "
"It was amazing! They let you write your essay in the time that you are not on the tour on in your interview. It is very very laid back. There is also a room of a few studentst that you can talk to honestly about the program."
"The interview's not bad at all. Very friendly, relaxed .. but it really depends on who your interviewer is. There's an essay but you are given plenty of time to do it. The essay question was a fun question, the kind you would ask your 5 year old sibling."
"I was supposed to be there at noon, but i arrived at 9am. I was a nervous wreck for 3 hours. Then at noon there was a one hour orientation that calmed my nerves, then interviews started. I got the last time slot and again was a nervous wreck for 2 hours. During the interview some of the questions caught me off guard and required me to think on my feet. Because i didn't sound too sure on some answers, i feel that may have negatively affected me."
"The first hour or so is spent listening to a very thorough presentation about the school and curriculum. Then you are given an interview time and essay topic. While you are not interviewing, you can write your essay and just chat with the other applicants. Afterwards, we went on a small tour of the building/library and checked-out. Overall, it took about 3 hours."
"The questions were not difficult at all and the faculty was really friendly. They ask questions mostly about personal experiences. "
"we had a presentation of the school by the dean,interviews, writing sample and tour of library. there was plenty of time to write the essay (it just had to be turned in before we left). one of my interviewers was a pharm. student and the other a faculty member. "
"wonderful"
"Overall, this interview experience was great. The students and faculty make you very comfortable. Interviewers are friendly and they don't stress out on the essay too much. The new pharmacy building is nice, and the speech from the dean was great. This school seems like they treat you like an individual, and not a number (unlike their sister school)."
"my interview experience was pretty chill. I was skeptical about this school and didn't even want to go here (cuz i did my undergrad here) but after the presentation, i am truly amazed. UCSD is already great, but there's so many bigger and better plans for UCSD. They are expanding a lot with the grant they got, so i think the school will really run in competition with UCSF later on. it's a great school, but tough."
"FABULOUS. I am definitely going!"
"It was the best interview I had! My interviewers just wanted to get to know me having emphasized that in getting an interview, they knew I would do well academically with them. So complimentary! In summary: awesome people, awesome school! "
"UCSD is a great school. I would love to go there"
"Very conversational though I was afraid I was rambling...very comfortable experience overall. Be prepared for hypothetical questions, know your application well, and sell your best attributes!"
"I attended UCSD for my undergrad studies. The school is exellent in several aspects: Research, faculty, student-body, location, etc. I have nothing but praise for this school and certainly hope and pray to God that I get in! "
"Get there early, hang out and talk to fellow candidates, have about an hour orientation in a little room- they give you water though. Then over the next couple hours it's not really structured, you just have your interview at a specific time and any time you are not in your interview you can be writing your essay or talking to students. (our essay question was "if you could switch places with someone for a day who would it be and why?") I heard the interviews usually involve a student, but since they were in class mine was 2 professors (one full time one part time)."
"overall, it was okay but a bit stressful."
"Everyone was super nice. The students are extremely dedicatd to studying here, so if you're looking to just sun-bathe at the beach (only 10-minute drive away), you'll be disappointed, not that they don't have fun, but the work load is great."
"I was asked typical interview questions.However,the school focuses alot on research, and I wish I had known that before the interview."
"The interview was easy going and laid back. First about 20 students were at the orientation for an hour before interviews and essays began. I was calm and collected and ready for the interview until I sat in the chair. Easier said then when you are in the hot chair. (I had butterflies and felt choked up for a moment) I think having two interviewers made me lose focus because I had to acknowledge both individuals at the same time. I completed the interview and finished my essay afterwards. I finished the day with a tour of the campus and the library."
"Be conversational! Be able to convey your thoughts clearly and succinctly."
"Very laid back. My interview could have gone better, but I was one of the last people to be interviewed and I was very tired by then."
"Overall, a very comfortable experience."
"It was really laid back. We had lots of time for the essay. The interviewers seemed interested in getting to you know better."
"Very relaxing environment, they just really want to get to know you and see what brings you to the school. Nothing too difficult and there is no time limit for the essay. I definitely feel like this will become one of the top schools in a few years."
"Great school, terrific program, enthusiastic staff, very impressive recruitment of faculty members, the interview was very stress-free and everyone was really nice!"
"It was very easygoing. The interviewers knew all about me because they read my essays prior to my arrival. So I didn't have to go into my life story like all my other interviews. They asked questions specific to me."
"you have plenty of time to write your essay. there is a library tour and of course, the interview. very laid back - just the typical interview questions. nothing surprising. "
"Interviewing in the afternoon meant waiting outside the building to be let in for awhile (but at least it allowed me to see one student). After being let in we had a presentation on the status of the school, its curriculum, what to expect (definitely looks intense), how many they were interviewing etc. Everyone seems happy and confident that the school is and will be great. Integration (~40%) with the medical school means that classes will probably be tougher but I think it makes for a great background. Then we were given the interview times and essay topic (Who do you want to see put on Mt. Rushmore?) I lucked out and was one of the first to interview so that it didnt interupt my essay writing time. Both interviewers were very friendly and although we covered a lot of topics, I never felt attacked. I had plenty of chances to ask ?'s about the school, etc. After the interview I wrote my essay and you have an opportunity to go on a tour if you desire/have time. "
"Great potential school, some classes are taken with med students..big deal since your only graded on a curve, and once you get into pharm school your a pharmacist anyway (you are graded by a letter)"
"The interviwers were really nice. Both the faculty and the student interviewed me at the same time. Although, it was the faculty member talking 90% of the time. LOL. I got to San Diego a couple of days before the interview so I had time to tour the campus and the city. Needless to say, the campus is awesome and I think UCSD will be program that will eventually compete with UCSF in the near future. So accept me PLEASE!!! Man, I'm gonna have a hard time studying in UCSD if I get accepted, there is so many things to do there. "
"the interview was really laid-back, and my interviewers were very warm and friendly. it felt more like a friendly chit-chat."
"It was not a very fun interview. The two people that interviewed me was both pharmacists and they like to push your button. They are cruel and not friendly at all. They turn everything you say into a negative thing. The school of pharmacy is way too small and they seem more focus on their medical school. Great campus though and great place to live."
"Overall, a very intriguing program due to its integration with the medical school. Definitely a great place to do clinical pharmacy. The small class size could be positive or negative depending on how well you click with your classmates. It is definitely a cool place and as a result very hard to get into."

What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 1)?
