"The interview is two people, where one knows your grades etc and the other knows nothing about you. My one interviewer, who must have looked at my marks and didn't want me to try to use them as a talking point, told me that he was supposed to have looked at data but he chose not to and would leave it to the admissions committee. It didn't hit me until I was told "no, there's no way he can breach protocol like that!" later on, I actually thought that my entire interview was closed-file. Dr. Higa is very tricky!

"They expect you to know about the profession. Know some of the problems with the profession (counterfeit drugs, pharmacists stealing Vicodin, the aging of baby-boomers, whatever), the types of job opportunities available (retail, community, long-term care, post-graduate, etc.), and so on. Having good depth of knowledge about the profession is essential - say something like, "I'm interested in drug research, so while the more traditional aspects of the pharmacy practice are what drew me towards the profession, I'm also investigating the possiblility of continuing on after receiving my doctorate to work on a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry." They'd eat something similar to that up." More from this Member | Report Response

"For the most part, the experience was great. Although, I had a hard time finding the pharmacy school until someone told me that it was where the emergency center is. Once I found it, the building is old but this is where other health professions have their classes. I talked to Dean Ridgway who was extremely nice and gave me the low down on the interview process and how the acceptance process is done. I also talked to a first and third year student and they were telling me about the school. I also toured their labs and their "mock" pharmacy which was extremely cool. All in all, I was very impressed with what they had to offer." More from this Member | Report Response
