What are your general comments?

I arrived slightly before 8:30am and waited for the rest of the group of 5 interviewees and the 2 student tour guides to arrive. The tour lasted about 15 minutes. We then went back to the admissions office and they called us into our interview one at a time. Most of the others had 3 interviewers, I only had 2 because one left early. It was pretty standard, all of the questions were expected, nothing out there. Why Pharm? Why NSU? Why did you change careers? How did you study for the PCAT? What can you do for our school? Talking to the other interviewees really helps relieve the stress. I felt really good at the end, I believe I walked out with a smile.
