i was interviewed on Monday at a school in Nashville. I was suprised to see that about half of the people at the interview either flew or drove in from out of state. anyhoo here are my thoughts about it. interview experience: i honestly didn't feel comfortable in my interview. i asked other students how their interview went before i went in mine, and they said it was really laid back and they only got asked one question related to pharmacy, so i wasn't expecting anything too uptight. i was wrong. i didn't get interviewed by professors like the other students. i got interviewed by the associate dean, and he was kind of.....-.-;; i don't know how to describe him. he was really proud of the school and what not, but at the same time i felt like i was getting a feeling of being overpowered. he didn't shake my hand or anything when he saw me, and he seemed to make small statements about every answer that i made. other than that , it was pretty cool. i understand that he doesn't have to be friendly. he actually talked most of the time during the interview about the school, etc. he gave a good presentation. pros and cons about the school: -the school is not accredited, but you get protection to get a job later if they fail to become fully accredited. -school is all about service...put you in a lot of service activities in the community. service trips in other countries, etc. -small class size (75) - located in Nashville.. (do i really want to stay in Nashville?? -.-;;) -18-19 hours/semester . no summer school allowed. -have a lot of partners in the health community...Vanderbilt, etc. hm. i like the school, but i don't know if i can see myself in it for the next 4 years. 3 more schools to visit (and get accepted) until i make my final decision. |
