"Interviewers were stand offish. Questions were not inviting." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not really much of anything. It was pretty much a positive visit, but if I had to say one thing that was negative it was paying $6 to park my car in one of the hospital parking garages and having to walk 0.25 mile to the pharmacy building in a suit." More from this Member | Report Response

More from this Member | Report Response

"I had an outstanding experience at UNC. Faculty, staff and students were very welcoming, and I felt as if they were truly interested in each and every prospective student. I felt my trip was worthwhile." More from this Member | Report Response

"I enjoyed my stay there, but being that I believe this was the last interview, we were not given a tour and we were kind of rushed. Otherwise, I simply loved my interviewers and I hoped they loved me too:)" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview is actually two interviews, one with a faculty member and one with a current student. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Orientation with the entire group. Then grouped with your student guide, who you can talk to for a while. Then you get dropped off at the student interviewer's location. My student was great, very nice and a wealth of information. After that I went to the faculty interview. My faculty member was an admissions director. She was great. The whole thing was very conversational and relaxed. It felt more like a good conversation than an interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"We mingled with other students then were given a student guide. We talked in groups with our guide and asked questions then went to the interview with a professor. Next, we were escorted to our student interview and given a closing speech at the end by the chairman of admissions." More from this Member | Report Response

"When you arrive they have refreshments available and you have about 15-30 minutes to mingle with other candidates. Next there is a short info session, followed by interview with a student and a faculty member. A PY1 student escorts you to interviews." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great except the faculty interviewer did not teach and had only been at UNC one year so she could not answer some of my more specific questions. Students and faculty were nice and all seemed very involved in the school of Pharmacy." More from this Member | Report Response

"The overall experience was great!! Walked into the lobby to check in, went upstairs to mingle with the other interviewees, had a short informational session, had my first interview with a faculty member (30 minutes) and my second with a third year student (a little over 30 minutes), and then we were free to leave." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great experience. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the process was painless. Two short interviews (half hour each) with a faculty member and 3rd-4th year student, short tour and some food after! Beautiful campus, be sure to check it out." More from this Member | Report Response
