Basic process: you come in, watch a video about the pharmacy program, write an essay on a given topic for 30 minutes, and talk to current pharmacy students while you're waiting to be interviewed. The actual interview is about 15-20 minutes. Advice: Ask questions to the interviewers and pharmacy students. " More from this Member | Report Response

"it was very good! not nearly as bad as i thought it'd be" More from this Member | Report Response

"We introduced ourselves, sat at a big table, and were asked to write a short (1-2 page) essay on a question. We each had a different question. Then, I was taken back to a different room for my interview for 15 minutes, returned to the room we started in, and the girl went for her interview. While I was being interviewed, she conversed with the 3 pharmacy students present, and I did the same while she was gone. We were encouraged to ask any questions about UGA and the pharmacy experience." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was pretty simple...they didnt ask me anything too difficult or extraordinary." More from this Member | Report Response

"1) Brought into room and given 45 min. to write an essay. My topic was (How do you measure success in school?) 2) Students (1st, 2nd & 3rd year) come and answer questions while you wait to be taken to your interview. 3) Interview consists of 3 professors that ask you about your background and review your file.

"Very positive. I got worked up for nothing - it is very laid back." More from this Member | Report Response

"They try to make you feel comfortable. They want to get to know you." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was very nervous before the interview, but I quickly got over it. The professors engage you in pleasant conversation from movies, to sports, the program, your background - they seemed more interested in you as a person than your accomplishments." More from this Member | Report Response

"My experience was very good. The interview was early in the process, and they said I should know something around April or so." More from this Member | Report Response

"They try hard to make it low-stress. There were 3 students total interviewing this date. They put you in a conference room and give you 45 min to read and article and write about it. Then students come in to talk to you and let you ask questions, while they take each person and do the actual interview. It is a very conversational atmosphere."
