More from this Member | Report Response

More from this Member | Report Response

"Waste of time and money." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a great experience and it was such a pleasure to meet the Faculty (interviewees). As they get to know you better, you get to know them as well. There is alot of waiting. You wait to get called into the interview room one-by-one, until the person before you is done interviewing. " More from this Member | Report Response

"After the interview, I am not so impressed with Nova. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very intimidating and stressful, but I've heard this is not the norm so don't get too worried! " More from this Member | Report Response

"The experience was very good. You just need to prepare ahead of time and tell the truth. If you are well prepared, you will simply perform better than the others. If you had a bad quarter/semester, explain it with confident! The fact is even they ask you this, they are not trying to attack your weak point. If your academic performance ever be a problem, they will not even ask you to come to an interview. They are simply looking for a good answer. They are not trying to throw your application away by that reason." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was pretty good. The faculty who interviewed me were pretty encouraging (they were smiling) so it was not that stressful.

"Amazing school, great location, had so much fun!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Crystal told me over the phone to come at 8:30am, but the interview process really started at 9:30am. I interviewed about an hour after the tour was done. No school presentation, no essay, there were only an interview and a financial aid presentation. We were supposed to have 3 interviewers, but one couldn't be there. Questions were very straightforward. They were impressed because I can speak 4 languages very fluently and the fact that I learned English in 2 years. I was asked only 3 questions while the other interviewees were asked about 6 questions (don't know really why they asked so few questions)." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was 3 applicants and we were taken on tour by 2 students for 45 mins. We were called 1 by 1 to be interviewed and we could leave when we were done. 2 of the 3 interviewers were professors. They had read all of my file and knew everything. They asked me a lot of questions...1 after another. Just mainly about me, things in my personal statement, PCAT, etc... Nothing was off the wall. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall a great experience. THe interviews were very polite and personable. The staff member giving the tour reall calmed us down. School was impressive." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall bery positive, I loved the school and the program seems to be top notch. " More from this Member | Report Response

"There were only 3 of us, 2 interviewees didn't make it. We took a tour of about 25-30 min and then came back to the admissions office for the interviews. Then each of us patiently waited our turn since there's only one interview session at a time." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was the first to arrive so I would have been the first to be called in for the one-on-one interview. Three other applicants and I were taken on a tour of the school with P3 students- the building is like a maze! No joke, it's connected to other businesses and a gym. The tourguides were really helpful and laidback. After the tour, I was called in for the interview. It wasn't as bad as I thought but I did get stumped on some questions. However, the interviewers were nice and told me to relax. I think I did okay but who knows if my responses were what they were looking for. Guess we'll find out in the upcoming weeks!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Worst Interview I have ever had (whether for jobs or other pharmacy schools)" More from this Member | Report Response

"it was pretty good. however, there are different people interviewing now. Overall, they're really big on PROFESSIONALISM. grades aren't everything for them, but they are important. the interview is pretty important for this school." More from this Member | Report Response

"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." More from this Member | Report Response

"I enjoyed everything about the school itself. I really liked the facilities and seeing all the students dressed in scrubs. The actual interview, however, was really bad. I felt the interviewers were really rude and condescending. I was asked to explain everything on my application and no matter what answer I gave they never seemed satisfied. I was expecting the interview to be about getting to know ME better but it wasn't like that at all. They didn't care about who I was only why I wasn't the perfect applicant."

"I was nervous at first, but toward the middle, it was not that bad. They were just trying to get to know me." More from this Member | Report Response

"They asked a few questions, but basically wanted to know why I chose pharmacy, and why specifically nova. make sure you know why!! This website helped me do well on the interview and I hope I do the same for someone who is reading this. Make sure you look professional and there is really nothing to worry about- they are really sweet people. Do ur best and relax! Good luck to everyone!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"came in the afternoon and met 3 other interviewees. had a tour with a student who answered all our questions. then the interview began where we go in one by one for about 20 or so minutes each. and thats it." More from this Member | Report Response

"As soon as i arrived i became nervous as hell. The tour was nice because it relieved alot of stress. Talking to fellow applicants also helped a bunch with nervousness. My 3 interviewers were all really nice. One of them kept smiling and then giving me the "crazy eye", so i don't know what that means. I was very well prepared and they could tell so they tried stumping me a few times. Didn't work, i'm a machine. One of the PharmD's actually liked me so much that he gave me his card so i could call him up to go rock climbing." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was interviewed by three professors all sitting in a round table looking at me... sort of stressful at first, but I guess, the more you talk, the less they ask... That was my strategy and it seemed to work 'cause I got in! =) Good luck to you all and just be yourself and TRY to relax." More from this Member | Report Response

"talk to many people casually while u wait for the real interview, but u are being evaluated from the beggining. " More from this Member | Report Response

"couldn't have been better, be prepared to wait though. but there are people just like you waiting also, so there is someone to talk to." More from this Member | Report Response

"Pretty good experience. Everyone there seemed really friendly. Tour for 30 minutes and then we waited until they called us in one by one." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview process was pretty uneventful. After waiting for everyone to arrive in the reception area, they informally greeted us and sent us on a tour with a student. The tour was a weak 4 1/2 minute stroll through 2 hallways, nothing exciting. After the tour, one by one we got called in from the reception area to being the interview. I thought the actual interview was very straight forward. Their were three faculty members who took turns asking questions. They clearly just wanted to get to know me, my motives for pursing pharmacy, and to see where I want to go with the degree. We talked for over 30 minutes, just about everyone of my answers digressed into something that led them into another question. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very pleasant, the two interviewers are professors at the school and they were very friendly" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was not as stressfull as I thought it would be. I just had to talk to two nice ladies for about 15 minutes or so. Just be sure to really know why you want to be a pharmacist...and have very specific experiences to describe. They kept asking me "We're still not exactly sure why you chose this...""
