"Talk about a time when you set a goal and how you went about achieving the goal and then how you measured your success."
"Nothing out of the ordinary."
"Nothing interesting - just boring non-pharmacy related questions."
"Because I have a strong background in pharmaceutical research, I was asked why PharmD instead of Ph.D. This opened a unique opportunity for discussion."
"Any one of the previous questions depending on how you prepare for the interview."
"N/A"
"I was only asked 3 questions in 45 minutes. So the lack of direction was the most difficult part; it was very challenging to keep on task with the question and to cover all aspects that I wanted to cover "
"SDN interview feedback. Not that helpful with so few responses for Pitt. Practiced answers allowed."
"went over common questions online"
"SDN and learning from other interview experience."
"Had friends that are Pitt alumni ask me 'interview' questions that I pulled from this website."
"Pitt is very established and has many connections with health systems and pharmacy organizations."
"talking with the current students"
"The city was better than I remember it. Current students seemed nice, and I think they like their program."
"You have classes with ALL pharmacy students from your year; there is a huge (and very important) commradery amongst classmates. "
"The 45 minutes with the Pitt students prior to the interview was kind of awkward since there seemed to be no structure to the q&a time or the tour of the school."
"The interviewers weren't that friendly"
"It may have just been my bad luck, but it appeared that I got 2 interviewers that were dragged into interview me against their will. Both interviewers buried their heads into their note sheets and started scribbling as soon as I started to speak. No eye contact at all. I wasn't given the opportunity to ask questions, and I had a lot. Pitt was very very high on my list of potential schools, but they dropped off my list completely following this visit. I didn't learn anything about the school or program that I didn't know before the visit. I've interviewed at many schools, and this was by far the most impersonable interview that I had been on. Very uninspiring experience."
"All classes are held within 3 lecture halls and 1 laboratory, all in one buildind, which is very surprising for such a huge university ."
"Pitt is Pitt. Good school but hard to get into. Good luck."
"I was very nervous andI felt okay afterwards. "
"Uninformative, uninspiring and disappointing. I hate to be negative - Pitt is a good program and has a great reputation, but I had a terrible and uninformative visit. I hope no one else gets the same interviewers that I did."
"The first half-hour was a group q/a session with about 10 candidates and 6 current Pitt pharmacy students. It was very welcoming! Everyone (students and administrators) was very nice. The tour was good and the tour guide was such a proud Pitt Pharmacy student! The interviewers were very straight-faced, but somewhat warm throughout the interview. I feel good about the flow of the day."
