"The interview was very laid back. I spent almost an hour with a faculty member who wasn't a pharmacist and he made sure we spent time getting to know each other before he started formally asking me questions. I felt very comfortable and relaxed the entire time."
"Many of the students there were clearly big fans of their school and had turned down offers from other schools in order to attend UM. They also mentioned that it is a top three school... a lot."
"The entire program. I was also surprised by how much I loved the Duluth campus and feel."
"putting me at ease"
"They had a survey at the end on how to improve."
"The interview was very laid back and it was more of a conversation with specific questions thrown in, rather than it being an interrogation."
"My interviewer was telling me the strengths of the program, almost like he was trying to sell it to me!"
"The friendliness of everyone there and the shared enthusiasm about the program."
"The various options upon graduating from this University. You can go into any field you want to as they are pretty much all represented here. The cutting edge technology and research occurring here is amazing."
"Everything"
"The individual nature the program has towards its students."
"Friendly demeanor of interviewer. Very relaxing."
"The Admissions office being so helpful and conveying that they knew how important and personal this process is to some of us. "
"The accessibility of our faculty and student hosts. You could tell that they all took great pride in the College."
"Students giving honest opinions about their life at pharmacy school-job, money, stress, social life, volunteering, staff, campus etc."
"The friendliness of the staff and the fact that they are incredibly open, honest and forthcoming about the university. You're given every bit of information you may need to make a decision. I was treated like a person, not just another applicant or number. Beautiful area, nice facilities (in comparison to what I've had in undergrad so far). Students really look happy."
"I was very impressed by how personal the day was. I felt like a person. I felt like, not only did they want to get to know me, but like they wanted me to get to know them (the college as a whole). Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The pharmacy students we met were excited and so willing to answer any questions we had. It was a GREAT day with very little stress! They try to make it as painless as possible. "
"Very casual atmosphere for being one of the best pharmacy schools. Also, even though it's in a very cold state, there are usually tunnels which allow you to walk to different parts of the campus so you don't have to go outside."
"EVERYTHING!! Its the land of opportunities! "
"Interview was really laid back. It just seemed like my interviewer wanted to know me as a person, not as an applicant. He showed me his evaluation form and told me that I was going to be scored on 6 "dimensions," and then we just talked for 45 minutes."
"Everyone was extremely friendly and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person. Minneapolis is also a great city!"
"The friendliness of the faculty and students, free printing"
"The Duluth campus offers quite a bit more to their students than I had expected. "
"The Dean's welcome address and why we should choose Minnesota over other colleges. I also like that pharmaceutical care is a large part of the curriculum."
"Students are very enthusiastic about their school. There's a lot of flexibility in where you can live, and how you can get to campus."
"The faculty members I came across seemed very student oriented."
"The staff and students were all very upbeat and proud of their school, this college has great facilities. Dean made it a point that they know they are competing for the best students and "sold" what the program has to offer to incoming students."
"The students and faculty were very positive and enthusiastic. The atmosphere was filled with positive energy."
"The visit made me feel extremely comfortable - they did a great job making you feel like you belonged. I left feeling energized about pharmacy school."
"Focus on interdisciplinary work between the Allied Health Center, focus on pharmaceutical care."
"the u of mn has an amazing faculty, they are well known and leaders in the field"
"My interviewer was so easy to talk to, it was easy to relax and have a conversation with her. "
"Everything. Mostly how inspiring my interviewer was and how highly they thought of me and my very unique qualifications - Interior Design major, 31 yrs old, study abroad, communication abilities."
"They were very interested in YOU as a PERSON"
"Student camraderie and laid back atmosphere. New facilities opening next year. Faculty appear approachable."
"facilities, faculty, staff, and students... everyone is extremely nice and enthusiastic about the program"
"EVERYTHING!! I was very impressed with the program. It is well established and it would be an honor to attend!!"
"Great facillities and up to date department. All the teacher's lectures were available on line so you can look over lectures again and again."
"their labs"
"The dean's opening statements really sold the school to me."
"As the pioneer of pharmaceutical care, the school offers outstanding opportunities to work with remarkable pharmacists at the top of their game. My interviewer kept the process rather conversational, and she effectively answered all my questions. I walked away feeling as if this was a world-class institution with outstanding faculty."
"how everyone knew each other; the students and faculty are totally helpful"
"I really enjoyed the tour. Not only did I get to see what the school looks like, but I also had plenty of opportunities to ask current students questions about the school."
"The location"
"The staff and students seemed like a very supportive, inviting group."
"The speech by the Dean and the faculty teaching the courses"
"The process was very well organized. They gave us information packets to take home which was great. I was a little uncertain if the school would be a good fit for me but talking w/my interviewer convinced me."
"Minnesota nice. And, they let everybody know in early to mid April if they're in or not."
"How organized the interview process and tour are?"
"The high ranking of the school in the nation."
"Very nice faculty, student body. Great facilities, great possibilities for different learning experiences. Interview was very comfortable, not nearly as stressful as I thought it would be."
"very organized interviewing process. the interprofessional connections. the school is located at the heart of the medical hospital center. in demand of pharmacists. "
"VERY laid back guy and he really seemed to think I was very qualified for this position. He looked through my file and told me that there was no way I wasn't going to get into pharmacy school. He stopped the interview right there and we just casually chatted and he tried to sell me the program. "
"They didn't make me feel intimidated, they were professional, friendly, and helpful. The Dean was also speaking, and she seemed to promote the school (try to sell the school to us, not make us feel like we are begging to get in there). Oh..and they provided us with a list of all faculty with their research interest!--> Hint: find out to make a conversation/ questions to your interviewer. They also allowed us to make changes to campus preference, in which I decided to change mine to TC only."
"campus is really nice, everything connects by tunnels so u dont have to go outsite in bitter cold...faculty very very nice..same with interviewer...really nice doctor"
"The choice of choosing between the two campuses. Food provided wasn't labeled (type of meat, etc.)"
"Some whole days on the Duluth campus are spent in the same room. It would be nice if the ITV classes didn't have mandatory attendance, as they are recorded and available online all semester long."
"location"
"People said that the interview process is more like a conversation. But, my interviewer went down a list and asked a bunch of questions!"
"One of the student tour guides ran into a friend while in the middle of the tour and she completely ignored us after that. We ended up leaving her behind because she was too busy talking to her friend. I thought that was really rude because she was suppose to be there to give us a tour! Also, I was the only out of state student interviewing that day and the entire student panel was either from Minnesota or Wisconsin. I was at the Duluth campus but I really wanted to go to the Twin Cities campus. It was really hard to get a sense of what the Twin Cities campus was like."
"None."
"Nothing in particular."
"There are not many rotations outside of Minnesota."
"The city of Duluth is kind of boring to me."
"My interviewer did make a weird comment that could have been taken as racist - it was in kind of a gray area. I didn't know how to react."
"Everyone on the student panel was from Wisconsin or Minnesota."
"The days events ran a little over schedule. These things can be unpredictable but most people had tight travel plans."
"I didn't particularly like Duluth. I wish I could have interviewed at the Twin Cities campus which is the one I selected at the end of the interview."
"Mostly after my interview and campus tour I was just exhausted. I already had jet lag and the stress leading up to the interview was tiring. The experience itself wasn't negative, just felt long due to me being exhausted."
"None at the moment."
"Nothing that I can think of"
"I really enjoyed it and have no negative comments."
"The interviewer was a faculty researcher who did not have much contact with the Pharm.D. students other than to guide them through the Pharm.D. thesis so he could not tell me much about the school and program. The facilities were also not incredibly impressive, but they will suffice :)"
"Wish I could have met more of the faculty and the professors."
"The rumor about the weather"
"Having seen the Twin Cities Campus I was not very impressed with the Duluth Campus. "
"Nothing on interview day itself; however, it would have been nice to try show the facilities on the alternative campus (especially for those not interviewing on their selected campus)."
"No food provided! A PharmD Professor cum sociologist lectured for half hour for no reason-waste of time!!!"
"No negative impressions."
"Nothing because this has been my best interview experience so far."
"The Pharmacy lab in a way..."
"I wish he had asked more pharmacy related questions. How will he know whether I'm motivated for the profession if he doesn't ask me? "
"My interviewer was a little late, but this was also kind of nice because it lowered my stress level. "
"location - its cold"
"Nothing"
"Minnesota weather is going to be a little different than Southern California weather."
"The tour was rushed and fairly worthless. I think the guide worked in admissions but she could have been a student. Either way she was terrible and I felt like the tour was about as worthless as it could have been."
"Nothing....it moved them to the top 2 or 3 schools on my list."
"The students currently enrolled in the PharmD program weren't required to adhere to a dress code. My interviewer was unable to answer several of the questions I posed during the interview; however, he did provide the contact information of another professor who would be able to address the questions."
"My interviewer seemed rather dry - little emotion, little reaction. I felt like I could not establish common ground."
"Driving/living in the Twin Cities."
"Not much. The admissions staff did try to stress the connectedness of the Twin Cities and Duluth campus while the student panel essentially said the students of the two campuses feel separate."
"cold weather... be prepared for extremely cold winds..."
"There was a lot of "free-time" in between activities. Would have liked more time for the student panel."
"There wasn't much mention about the other campus so I didn't know much about the other campus. Also, 2/3 of the teacher's lectures are on the main campus and satelite over to the other campus."
"The schedule was a little unorganized (although this could have been due to the U of M server going down). I finished my interview and had to wait 45 minutes to start my writing exercise."
"I wasn't as impressed with the labs as I had hoped to be. Compared with other top 5 schools, the lab seemed to be somewhat make-shift. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the student panel. The majority of the students were younger and more interested in talking about how much fun they have rather than what they thought of the program. I would have appreciated hearing more from older students who might have offered a different perspective on managing life and adult obligations as a pharmacy student. I was also disappointed in the lack of diversity of the panel. Every student but one was from Minnesota, and all went to small Minnesota state schools. Most of the students listening to the panel discussion were from out of state, and I would have found their comments most unhelpful. That said, I left the panel feeling that as a student you would be able to create your own niche and define your education at the U of M in whatever manner you choose."
"How confusing the building and location were for me; no bathroom break or chance to sneak away to use one."
"I can't think of anything."
"its cold"
"I'm not so sure I'm convinced that the cctv lectures are all that great . . . sounds like a cheap way to share a lecture between the twin cities and duluth campus."
"The student panel could have been better organized "
"There was no time scheduled in between for breaks, to going to the bathroom. The student panel was not diverse (life expirence wise) I began to wonder about the diversity at the school. Facilities not very impressive at all."
"It is weird how they try hard to sell the school to everybody there, but they're only letting about half of the people in... My interviewer made commments like I was a shoo-in, but I have yet to find out."
"Nothing!"
"Nothing."
"the weather. I didn't think it'll be THAT cold but it was! no food? I was starving half way through.. "
"nothing, it was a great interview!"
"None"
"Minnesota is damn cold!"
"Apply early for top 15 schools."
"Parking meters only let you pay for 4 hours at a time, I got a ticket, but was able to pay it online."
"more about the person who interviewed me. but it is impossible to know who since they match you randomly."
"Out state students will not be eligible to pay in state tuition after they study at UMN for a year."
"Nothing."
"Interprofessional care and MTM are super important. Also, they are rewriting the curriculum for Fall 2012."
"Nothing really."
"I felt pretty well-prepared from the interview feedback on SDN."
"I wish I had known that Minnesota does not allow you to gain residency unless you live there for a year without attending school of any kind. I find this a bit unhelpful especially for older applicants who would necessarily move their entire households to Minnesota in order to attend the SOP. Every single other applicant in my interviewing group was very young and planned to go home for summer breaks."
"I wish the website had more information b/n the two campuses to help you make the decision easier. I ended up going with Duluth though."
"None"
"To know my resume a little better"
"The amazing research some of the faculty is doing. I have similar interests so it would have been great to bring that up in the interview."
"All the walking I would do as I wore shoes that weren't very comfortable..."
"It was snowing and raining that morning"
"None, I was pretty well prepared."
"Who my interviewer was, so that I could research his background+research interests."
"That my interview would be more like a conversation about everything in my life rather than specific questions about pharmacy or why I want to be there."
"The interviewers do not have access to your transcript or letters of recommendation. "
"I said the interview was closed file, but they do know something about you from the information on your supplemental application. Some interviewers choose to look at that, while others wait until the interview actually takes place."
"That it would take a month before decisions are made! "
"They use a satellite system with the Duluth campus."
"that its about a $30 cab ride from the airport to the hotel"
"Only 16 people were being interviewed that day. I had expected many more."
"Nothing"
"Many of their professors are actively involved in research."
"Just how huge the U of M campus in the Twin Cities is...2nd largest college campus in the nation! I knew it was big but not this big."
"Awesome program....."
"Nothing really stands out."
"How much I would end up liking it."
"Nothing. I went in very well informed of the school and process that would happen."
"It wasnt as cold as I thought"
"They gave an optional main campus tour (not the pharmacy school) which I took and it was first. It put me at ease by letting me get to know a few other applicants before the interview."
"N/A"
"The interview day was very long and lasted from 12:00 to 4:00 pm and there was no snack given or drinks given to us. They also had 2 essay questions: 1. Do you think that patients should have to sign consent forms understanding the risk before they get to pick up their medications. 2. Describe a time where you've demonstrate the most creativity. "
"Nothing really came as a surprise to me."
"To get a map of campus and building if possible"
"Again, I can't think of anything, but anyone interviewing should probably know that the U of M basically founded and developed pharmaceutical care."
"There is only about 80 seats left to fill in the school."
"Patient Care -- it was invented there. "
"Should have attended the mock interviews "
"New medicaid law"
"I guess everything depends on who interviews you. My professor was extremely casual, so it was all about content and not at all about presentation. He didn't even introduce himself. Be ready to talk about yourself and show excitement about the profession and the school. They want to know that you want to go there, and my interviewer wanted to learn about me with very little effort on his part."
"More about the school"
"I thought I might have time to consider which campus I would choose by myself, but my interviewer had to know what I would choose before I left the interview itself. "
"None, I go to this university, nothing new."
"they only select 100 students to twin cities campus..and 50 to duluth"
"Overall, be yourself, the interview is for the faculty to know you better or disprove any red-flags in your application. That being said, you have to still prepare because some professors may be sorting through applications for grants and research so they might go through the standard questions.....or they may just not be that talkative in a conversation at all. So basically talking about yourself is easy....don't worry. But knowing how to effectively answer the behavioral questions is the hard and should be practiced."
"Don't stress about this interview and be yourself! It's a very relaxed interview and the interviewer is very encouraging."
"Excellent school"
"suggestions: know MTM, pharmaceutical care, patient centered care. Really know the school."
"I was really happy with my experience at U of M. It was my very first interview for one of my top choices so I was initially extremely nervous. The school did an amazing job relaxing me and by the time I went into my interview, I was totally calm and relaxed."
"Go Gophers!"
"The interview was pretty relaxed. The interviewer did not have access to grades or scores, but he had everything else. He did mange to worm my GPA out of me. He said that he usually makes a point of reading all of the essays and telling people where they went wrong because he used to be on the adcom (but he said mine looked good). The interview was very conversational with the interviewer doing a fair amount of talking - they do this on purpose. He also made funny comments, like "I have to ask you on of those psychological questions now." If you have gone to a Preview Day, the rest of the activities after the interview will be pretty familiar."
"I loved Minneapolis!"
"Bring a water bottle! It will give you a mini "break" in between questions and allow you to compose yourself."
"Be prepared for inclement weather in either Duluth or Minneapolis. My airline called to tell me my flight was canceled while I was still interviewing. I ended up having to stay an extra night even though Duluth really didn't get any snow. Minneapolis did, however, and pretty much every flight to/from Duluth comes from or routes out of Minneapolis."
"Great program and great interview experience."
"I really enjoyed this school's process. They were all very welcoming and extremely nice. It is true that the U of M links both campuses through ITV, but they have good technology so it is a positive. They also said that these classes are recorded and are available for download through itunes."
"Overall, this is my top choice school. Initially it wasn't but after seeing how much the students love their program and all of the organizations and community involvement students are a part of, I know it is the school I most want to attend."
"The students seem very nice and seem to work together and support each other very well."
"The interview day moved the U of M easily to the top of my applied schools. Also, the interviews have access to pretty much everything from your application except for your grades and PCAT scores. This is, according to them, to prevent a premature evaluation of the student prior to the interview."
"Although the interview is open file they are not allowed to see your grades or PCAT score. The interview was extremely laid back, my interviewer made a great attempt to make it feel like a conversation. "
"You can sense the commitment the UMN College of Pharmacy has to maintaining its role as one of the top PharmD Programs in the nation. UMN should be among the top choices on almost anyone's list."
"Interview may feel stressful initially especially if it is your first interview. Just take advantage of all the resources you have. Reach early enough to talk to other interviewees."
"Its a great day and I really enjoyed the process. You have ample opportunity to ask anyone possible questions and everyone is really honest and forthcoming with answers. No one tries to sugarcoat anything."
"This is the third ranked pharmacy school in the nation and based on what I've seen I have to agree."
"I like the school, and hope I am accepted. The interviews are not really open-file because interviewers have most of your information, but they do not know your grades or PCAT scores, and they have not seen your letters of recommendation."
"This was my first interview and it was great! People are the friendliest here (compared to my other schools) and are really willing to help. Walk around the campus/city if you have time!"
"It was real chill and casual, more conversational than interview like. The interviewer was looking for my undergrad school and apartment on google earth"
"It was a very positive experience. I was VERY nervous because this was my first choice school, it's VERY competitive, and I was pleasantly surprised by what the Duluth campus offers. It was much more personal (one-on-one interview and only 16 interviewees) and welcoming than I had expected from the 4th ranked college of pharmacy in the nation. They actually made me feel like they wanted ME there!"
"My interviewer and I had a lot in common. The interview was very conversational in nature and was not stressful. Overall, it was a positive experience."
"The interviewer was very patient and laidback (t-shirts and jeans, with a big mouth billy bass on the wall behind him) but still conducted the interview in a professional manner. The actual "questions" portion took up maybe the first half of the interview. The latter half was spent discussing the research he's involved in, his personal impression of the school and its students, and other little things. Overall, my advice to others is don't stress over it. You think too much and you might start stuttering or speaking too fast. It was a relaxing and conversational interview."
"The interview was scheduled to go 40 minutes but my interviewer was very interested in me and by the time I was done asking questions the interview went just over an hour! I hope this is good news. Don't hold back any questions, even if you are trying to uncover anything that might be negative about the school. It shows you really care about where you are applying and that you aren't just trying to get accepted anywhere (even if you really are!:)"
"Great overall expereince, was a little worried about the hour long one-on-one interview but quickly got over that, I got accepted into the class of 2011 Duluth campus."
"It was very informative and fun. Overall I cannot judge how I did..time will tell. "
"It turned me from being neutral to really liking the school. I had planned on not liking it so now I'm questioning what to do with my decision if I am accepted"
"it was very much like a conversation.. more so than an interview"
"See above comments."
"Very professional ... to the point "
"Optional broad campus tour at 11-12 Opening comments, address from dean 12-1 Interview 1-2 Pharmacy school tour 2-3 Student Panel 3-4 (the order of the interview, tour, panel is random and different for different applicants) The whole atmosphere was pretty friendly and the interview was conversational but professional and my interviewer seemed to want to get down to business and cover his questions for me."
"I was positively impressed with the whole interview process. The staff makes sure that they get to know you and also that you get to know the school. They give you a tour and even let you sit for 30 minutes in one of the classes... Very well organized interview and very relaxed... I was stressing out about the interview, but my interviewer was very laid back, and we had very conversational interview. So don't worry that much about interview, just be yourself. "
"I was very nervous and I had my interview as the last thing on my schedule. "
"Overall, the experience was very positive. The student panel did a very good job answering a wide variety of questions. The interviewer was very friendly which made for a relitivley low stress interview."
"I had an outstanding interview experience thanks to the organization of the process. The adminstrative staff were a delight to work with, and I felt as if they were genuinely interested in each and every prospective student who was present."
"After checking in, there is a welcome by a staff member. Then most of the group goes for interviews, while some go for the writing exercise or tour. Interviewer was totally nice, it felt like I was talking with a family friend. After interview there was a 30 minute writing exercise in the comp. lab followed by a tour and student panel. About 3 hours long"
"My interview was very laid back. He didn't even really have many specific questions for me. It was more like a conversation in which he'd occasionally ask me to be more specific if I was talking about something he was interested in. Some people I talked to said their interviews were a lot more formal, and some even said that every question that was on this site was asked of them. So I would prepare by going over all the questions from other ppl's previous interviews at this school."
"It was really good. The interviewer was really friendly. He was a professor. It was not nerve recking at all."
"Overall positive. I got in, with a significant scholarship. I'm almost positive that I am going to attend."
"It was very low stress and my interviewer was really interesting and gave me some good advice about what to do if I get in. "
"My inteviewer was about 5 minutes late to his office...we talked back and forth the whole time. He didn't write anything down the whole time. "
"It was a good experience. They just want to get to know you. As long as you are sincere, you'll do fine. "
"Very positive and not too stressful, since I had practiced and felt confident in my conviction to attend the U of M!"
"Checked in, followed by a short introduction by the Dean of the school. Interview followed, then a writing exercise and a tour of the school. Wrapped up with a student panel discussion."
"It was a fun experience. When we first get to the interview, they had separate folders with Univ. of MN markings and a name tag printed out for us. We sit through the introduction from the dean, do writing exercise or interview depending on your schedule, and then go on a tour with the students. We had current students from MN talk about their experience and school life. "
"The interview started in the morning with a welcome coffee and juice. Then we were gathered in a small auditorium to listen for the Dean's welcome, etc. The group was split into two: writing excercise and tour. But the interviews all started at 11 am. Everyone was assigned a different interviewer."

"I don't believe I had any issues, overall they replied promptly to all my questions and responded when they said they would."
"Show some pictures on the presentation of each campus."
"The submission of the supplemental application can be confusing. I assumed I was set because my payment was processed, but it turned out that I had to re-submit afterwards. A note that we will receive an email upon submission would help."
"None"
"Nothing. They are very friendly and helpful, and are quick to respond."
"A virtual tour or slide show of the alternative campus facilities would be a good addition."
"Providing snacks would not hurt much:)"
"Better directions to faculty offices for interviews, or at least a heads-up that numbering doesn't m"
"None because everything was very organized and went great."
"None. They do a good job, in my opinion."
We help students become doctors. TM
What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 1)?
