"n/a"
"Ask your interviewer questions! I asked one no one ever had before and she was thoroughly impressed"
"The interview session at this school is extremely organized and efficient. Although it may seem a little long, it was definitely worth it. The admission staff, the interviewer and the current students make sure every applicant is set and have all their questions answered before walking out of the door. Even the associate Dean was very welcoming. This shows that this school truly cares about its applicants."
"It's nice! So hard choice to make when deciding amongst schools. Possible gator in the fountain in back. Professionalism is one of the main priorities. But it goes a long way and pharmacy is for professionals. Make sure pharmacy is for you, make sure the school is made for you."
"I will definitely go there if I don't get accepted in my state. Beware of clown case"
"The school is nice and the faculty are all pretty welcoming. Just be prepared for a long day and do everything you can to make yourself known. There is no group discussion, just an article to summarize."
"Very friendly environment"
"General consensus is that this is nobody's #1 school. "
"Some people prefer large campuses and busy cities, but if you want to be near the beach and have a more laid back atmosphere IMO then this school is for you. Also, I like how you do rotations earlier then your last year! I think you start after your first year. "
"They staff is very nice and supportive, for being a new place they were all very knowledgeable and I definitely enjoyed my visit. I can't wait to go!"
"In addition to the interview, there is a writing portion as well as a group discussion. "

"Interviews are going to just be stressfull in general but I think you should help your interviewers help with the stress by having a more structured interview where they can ask questions vs. just throwing it out there for the interviewee to "tell them about themselves" it just too difficult and that particular quesion has no right or wrong answer so you can walk out not knowing if you blew your chances. Also sometime having maybe 2 people interview you (like a panel) might be advantages because your faith should not rely in just one person. Thank you"
"It would be nice if the tour can include parents and family."
"Interviewer was very serious, did not attempt to bring out the best in me. I was going above and beyond to get as much as a smirk from her."

"The interview process was quite well streamlined for a new school, I'd work on the tour a bit more t"
