Preparing for the Interview...
is the hardest part of the process. This will not be an easy day, but we try to help you through it.
- Dress Professionally! When you look professional, you act it....but be sure it is comfortable and you feel good about the way you look.
- Be on Time! If you feel rushed or start late, it sets you up to feel frazzled! Get a good night's sleep the night before.
- Be Honest! If you do not know an answer, say "I don't know." Faculty interviewing you will know the difference. If it is a question about you or your wanting to be a pharmacist, have something to say!
- Smile! Be cheerful and positive.
- Look People in the Eye!
- Relax! This day will be very hectic and by the end, you will feel drained. You will participate in group problem solving, be interviewed by faculty members, take a cognitive thinking test, and have a session on the technology used for classes and the required hardware and software students must have. Remember, we haven't lost anyone yet!
- Ask Questions! This day will also include a tour of our facilities and an opportunity for you to ask questions of students, faculty, and our staff.
- Good Luck!
