(**BIG HINT**: unless you have had a tremendous amount of experience in a specific pharmacy setting, they are looking for you to say that you do not know what type of pharmacy you want to enter because your summer internships are for finding out which area you enjoy most. I told them this and got a huge, encouraging nod from the 2 students and the Director of Admissions.

"Friendliness of staff"
"Leigh Ann McStoots (Asst Admin Director) was very friendly. They seemed to genuinely want me to join their program. 100% pass rate on NAPLEX. This school concentrates on mostly on teaching not research. Consequently, students seem better prepared for industry / pharmacies."
"Harnett county was cool."
"The fact that they give you a laptop and PDA. Campbell has the friendliest staff and admin you will ever meet. I couldn't ask to feel as welcomed as I was by them. They were very responsive to my questions especially over the phone no matter how often I called them."

"the school location is just a slum"
"We ate lunch before interviewing. It was hard to stay awake"
"How far the school is from the airport."
"the location!!"
"Nothing really. The area surrounding the college isn't super exciting, but I'm from a small town myself so I was used to that kind of atmosphere."
"The location is not very close to many things, but most are within a 15-30 minute drive."
"location of the school, everyone seemed very sarcastic"
"The campus is small and a long distant from the cities. There does not seem to be much to do for entertainment."
"Nothing, everything was great"
"Location. Speech given during down-down between student panel & interview."
"nothing"
"The professor leading my interview had lost track of time, and the guy ahead of me got a 45 minute interview while I only had 10 minutes. I was dismissed rather quickly and the guy ahead of me, and the girl that interrupted my own interview, were both accepted into the program. Apparently I should have been rude and knocked on the door as well...."
"Nothing."
"Location is a deal breaker for people who are used to urban life."
"The area outside of the school"
"The actual pharmacy school is nice, but the campus does not look very exciting."
"How there were so many interviewees, it made me feel less confident looking at what I was up against."
"School is old and dilapidated. Not many places surrounding the school, but we are not here to have fun, but to concentrate on studying. To their credit, they are building a nice new multi-million dollar pharmacy school."
"Buies Creek is really in the middle of nowhere."
"Interviewers didn't seem to know much about my file, the student panel didn't really sell the school."
"The admissions committee member that interviewed me...he was not friendly and he was extremely serious."
"size of the facilities"
"the campus was small and old. very rural. but the girls dorm was right next to the pharmacy building."
"The school is very run-down looking, especially the pharmacy building. It looks like an old radio station with a giant antenna on top. There isn't much around the school or in the surrounding area. Feels like a depressing place to live. I also didn't really like the way the interview was set up. The interviewers (2 faculty and 1 student) didn't seem very friendly. They were very serious. It was also difficult to answer questions and make eye contact with 3 people all at separate locations in the room. I felt like a water-sprinkler moving my head all around so I wouldn't be ignoring anyone."
"There were 4 people interviewing me, 2 students, 2 professors (1 was a staff proffessor and 1 was a visiting professor)"
"The facilities are not comprised of the latest technology, and the tour was really short because the school is pretty small; however, they are in the process of building a huge pharmacy center adjacent to the school's current location."
"How small the actual pharmacy school is."
"The school is in the middle of nowhere."
"I guess the interviewers could have been a bit more personable..."
"everything: small school/small town/not good facilities"
"The wait was toooooo long!"
"Old facilities, unfriendly faculty."
"Hardly any emotion was shown by the four people asking the questions."
"please dont prepare for the questions unless they are from the same year cause they do change structure every year thats what they said"
"The school is about an hour away from the airport."
"Don't treat it as an interview, think of it as a conversation. Don't reply with answers you think they want to hear just be yourself."
"How easy the whole process was going to be. They really made us all feel really comfortable."
"There is a group interview as well as a 2-on-1 interview."
"2 interview styles would be used, group interview and then 2 on 1 interview"
"How far the school is away from the cities!"
"That there would be no opportunity to grab a drink or snack."
"nothing"
"That it was not necessary to wait by the door for the interview, since they were going to go over 20 minutes longer than available...."
"There would be no snacks or drinks offered. And vending machines were nowhere to be found."
"The interview would be shorter than I thought (the whole process). It was only 2 hours total, not 4 like I thought. "
"Interview is not very long, be thorough in your answers. Make sure to consider alternate solutions to questions/situations."
"The interview is not very long. They ask a few questions, so talk as much as you can because there is not much opportunity to sell yourself. Also, make sure you have questions to ask them."
"To bring a water if i have a cough."
"How remote a location Buies Creek is."
"how laid back but professional the interview process was."
"n/a"
"That there was an essay question."
"This was my first interview so I was very nervous, I didn't really look over what I would put for the essay question which was the standard "why should campbell pick you over other prospective student""
"That one of the student interviewers was extremely hot, and that I would have to concentrate a little harder to effectively answer my responses to her questions without staring at those gorgeous eyes too much."
"Nothing."
"That I am terrible at interviews! "
"How the school was"
"Whoever has travelled the farthest gets to interview first. "
"During your interview, make sure they feel that you will keep your options open. Do not go into the interview having a particular career path in mind."
"the questions are as follows based on november 2015. What would you do if you get a teacher that teaches you differently then another, tell me sometime that you had seen stereotype and at the end he ask how to solve, an experiment done in class and requires 20 tube to be done correctly.your friend misses up 3 of them would you give him yours., if you were running for presidency and the other person loses against you what you will do about it to make it work out for both of you, the associate dean will ask you these 3 questions. what is your pcat, gpa and why campbell or why pharmacy. it was 5 short 5 min interview style interview. My general advise is dont talk too much. and remember that you want to concentrate too much with the associate dean cause he is the one that will make you get in or not. speak politely and to the question dont add more. they use problem solve type of question all the time. if they ask you give example give them something that you will be able to solve. wish you all good luck"
"Overall, great experience."
"They take the comments on the exit interview serious. They're constantly trying to make the process more comfortable for the interviewees. They included the bio of the interviewers in the folder. Very helpful."
"Great interviewing experience overall!"
"They tried the group interview like many schools now, but only asked one question to each of us during this. We also had 2-on-1 interviews so we were interviewed twice that day."
"Overall, a very good experience!"
"Great school, and Great program"
"It's not as stressful as you make it out to be, so try to relax and if you are genuine, your interview will go well!"
"loved it!"
"The interview was very relaxed. Everyone was very nice and helpful."
"Wonderful school, faculty, program. Unfortunate location. No tour of the facility was offered; students seemed to be very proud to be there. Every here and there, there were groups of students working on common projects which gave impression of health emotional climate."
"These questions aren't exact. You forget so much right after walking out, but I hope they help others prepare! "
"Be yourself. It's just a conversation. Limit 'ums'. Have prepared questions; the interview process is a two-way street. Learn as much as you can about the school; you'll have multiple opportunities to do so. "
"I had a great experience at this school. There was a quick introduction, interview, student panel session, and then FAQ's."
"The interview went well. Make sure you practice...this helped me because the person interviewing said that I did a good job and gave great answers. Also, don't be afraid to talk with the faculty, students, and fellow interviewees. It'll help you relax and learn about the program."
"Overall the process went well. It made me feel more of an urge to go to Campbell than when I got there. I feel that Campbell truly is the school for me. I like how the campus is so close to each other and how friendly everyone seemed."
"My interview was scheduled for 230, so I checked in and was told to sit in a waiting area with about 15 other students. The Director of Admissions came out and read us questions to answer one by one in the group setting, just to use as a "warm-up" before we actually went into our interview. The actual interview was one-on-one with a staff member, and his assistant was there too. Overall pleasant experience."
"Overall good impression. I got the call 1 week after the interview that I did get into the school. They actually said that they would "love for me to join their family." That impressed me. The other schools I applied to (and got in) did not personally invite me to join their school."
"The interviewers seemed to do most of the talking but I guess that was a good thing because they could actually relate to what I was saying. Before the interview, they asked us to write an essay on three strengths and weaknesses that we may have."
"There were a lot of us there, broken into groups for a presentation, interview, and meeting with a student panel to answer questions. The whole process took 2 1/2 hours."
"The interview process started with an info session and then the group of ~30 applicants was split into those that would interview and those that were going to write an essay. The groups then would switch. My interview lasted about 40 minutes mostly because I asked questions about their program, they literally only asked me the questions I have posted. My 3 interviewers were alum PharmD from CU, a P2 student, and a faculty member on the admissions committee. The faculty member was all too serious about the process. (I manage a staff of 12 and I have interviewed and maintained that staff for the last 2.5 years, I know how to interview and how to conduct myself during an interview, I have personally interviewed nearly 80 individuals and I would never make an applicant be made to feel as uncomfortable I felt.) The committee member acted as though he could pressure me into fearing how “difficult†their program is. Thankfully that all ended and I moved on to the essay. Applicants are given 30 minutes to complete the essay topic (which I won’t be giving away). If I were planning to live on campus I would consider this school, otherwise I don't feel as though it is worth the drive into the middle of nowhere. It was not at all what I was really hoping for. If I am admitted I will be denying admissions and hoping I am accepted to my other school of choice."
"I had a great experience at campbell. The campus was beautiful and the faculty, staff, and students were very nice. While it is quite out of the way, the location helps students to focus on pharmacy, which is really the point of entering a PharmD program. I was very impressed by the close-knit and communal atmosphere, the open-door policy of the faculty and the extremely high board passage rate of campbell university grads. I you're looking for a small, friendly, community-type education, this is the place to be."
"The interview went well. I enjoyed my interviewers (they were very professional). Though its different from a city school, I think if our main goal is pharmacy school, we can adjust to our surroundings."
"I was really disappointed with the facilities at Campbell and the lack of friendliness the interviewers displayed. However, the school does seem to pride itself in exellent education of its students."
"There was an essay and an interview, the essay was on "why campbell should pick you, give some strengths you have over others" and the interview was for some reason 4:1, I felt VERY intimidated since I had gone to undergrad there but transferred out to finish my degree, the interviewers asked questions that made me think but didn't give too much in terms of feedback for me to read their reactions. There is of course the offered tour and questions at the end you might have."
"Great overall experience. Walked into the lobby to check in, listened to an informational session, had my interview, wrote an essay, and took a tour of the pharmacy school."
"good, don't let them intimdate you. If you have pharmacy experience play it up. If you don't have pharmacy experience you shouldn't even be applying because you don't kknow what your getting yourself into!!!"
"I thought I had to wait really long because I live only an hour away, but I didn't have to wait long at all. The whole interview process lasted 1 hour 30 mins."
"Well, I attended Campbell for a year before I applied, so I knew the atmosphere and some of the faculty members. Therefore, I was prepared in that regard for the interview. However, I should have had some trial interviews or something before I went there because this was my first interview ever, and I was pretty nervous and I think it was pretty obvious. I also have a baby so that was a big topic of conversation. Here's a tip...always have an answer for everything. If they ask you "What's your favorite song?" (which they probably won't, that's just hypothetical) don't say "oh, I have a lot, I can't really think of a favorite." That's so boring, NAME a song and make up a reason why its your favorite! "
"The interview started really bad. In driving down from Raleigh-Durham, the drive was long. There was hardly any signs for the school, and the school was in the middle of nowhere. It was really hard to find the pharmacy school, because it was on one end of the campus, and there was no student that really knew where it was. When we got to the pharmacy school, the people were not really nice. They somewhat talked down to you. You were given the names of your interviewers and then made to go to the auditorium to sit until the interviews started. The informational session started late and when it did start, there was not much that was impressive. Also, we had to write an essay on how important the health care system was, and how pharmacists and clinicians worked together. Obviously this is an easy question for anybody who has had an experience in the health care field. After that, you had to wait forever and a day to get an interview. They of course made people wait by how far they were from the school. There were many people from different states there. When I got into the interview, the interviewers talked down to you, and seemed they did not really care what you had to say. They kept interrupting you and kept looking away from you when they were interviewing. Aren't interviewers supposed to sound enthused? Because these interviewers did not. Sometimes it seemed like talking to a brick walls. I was not impressed at all, and then after the interview you could leave. At other pharmacy schools there was at least snacks or food or something, but at this one there was not. For a private school, it was quite disappointing."
"Not Bad"
"Horrible. The faculty member who interviewed me was not friendly at all. They need to remember that not only am I trying to look good for them, but they need to look good for me too! If they expect to get the best students they need to treat them well."
"long and tedious-- i have never experienced anything so draining. All i did was sit in a chair."
