What impressed you negatively?

What are your general comments?

"The interviews themselves were good. I had a P4 student instead of a faculty member and a P3 student for my student interview. The P4 did a good job of conducting a faculty-type interview. The P3 student and I just sat around and talked about Pharmacy School in general. He occasionally threw in a few of those questions he was ''supposed'' to ask, but we pretty much just talked. The mingling session was entirely too short for what they wanted to happen. They want each student to talk to Dr. Bartley and Jordana. However, when you have 10 students trying to get as much time as possible with both individuals, it is difficult to get anything done, especially when there are current pharmacy students in there talking to you as well."
