"(1st question of the interview ... right after I sat down) We received well over 1500 applications for 75 seats. Why should we choose you? (I was surprised and stumbled a bit, but I managed to regain my calmness)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Excellent information from SDN forum. Each morning, I ask myself 1 possible interview question, then come up with various answers for that question. Mock interview with myself in front of a mirror the night before the interview. Good breakfast. Talk to other interviewees to relax my nerves before interview." Report Response
"Extremely quick responses. I sent in PharmCas late (2/02/09), submitted short supplemental application (2/23), received interview invitation (3/06), had my interview (3/14), and received my acceptance (3/23). The staff were so nice, Erica (one of the secretaries) chatted with us while we waited for our interviews. That helped me a lot! The program is really awesome, a lot of real world experience over the 4 years, not just on the 4th year." Report Response
"NOTHING! " Report Response
"I wish I had known Dr. S has a powerfully intense gaze. Her eyes seem like they saw into my soul. She played the "scary" interviewer, but she's nice!" Report Response
"I love this school. My advice to an interviewee would be to just relax and be yourself (but not too much, don't talk like you're with your pals). Show enthusiasm and knowledge about the school, so that you can have questions to ask them (if you ask good question, they will talk about the program and won't ask you rapid questions!).
