What can you tell me about the school so far? I have an interview on the 21st. Any advice?
Also a big congrats to you!!
Hey guys I sent in my PharmCAS app two days ago, they're still gathering my transcripts and PCAT and whatnot but how soon and through what medium (email or snailmail) do they send the interview invites?
Thanks! PharmCAS finally sent my app so I'm impatiently waiting now. Anyone else get an interview invite after December yet?I got my interview invite about two weeks after they received my application! They contacted me via email. I heard back from them after the interview 4 days later!

If you don't mind me asking, how did your interview go? I have an interview in January and I really don't know what to expect! Someone mentioned the interview is MMI, any advice on how to prepare for that?I have my interview next week! Any advice? How many people will be in the interview with me?
Also if you did choose to attend this school, why did you choose it over a different one?
Do you mine elaborating more on the interview? You mentioned it was MMI; how many scenarios were there? How did you prepare for the interview?the school is a little dated, but the faculty and students are incredibly nice! the interviews are MMI this year (they are trying something new). basically just why pharmacy, tell me about yourself, what experience do you have, explain your extracurriculars, etc. Tis easy!
i really liked that the school is very focused on their students instead of nose-deep into their research! seems like a great school to me!
Hello!If you don't mind me asking, how did your interview go? I have an interview in January and I really don't know what to expect! Someone mentioned the interview is MMI, any advice on how to prepare for that?
Thank you so much for your thorough explanation and congratulations on your acceptance! How many people were interviewed on your date? Were the interviewers friendly?Hello!
I prepared by doing mock interviews and reading up about general interview questions for pharmacy. Just have to practice and be able to think on your feet. When you first walk in, they have you fitted for a white coat right away. Then, you are lead to a room for the essay portion (handwritten!). I believe you were given 25 minutes for the one question. Next is the MMI part. You are paired up with a P4 student, who will guide you to each section. I found this to be helpful, since I would ask her all sorts of questions during the breaks between each station, since I'm not familiar with the Big Rapids area or the opportunities the program offers for preparing for residency. There are four stations, each with two interviewers who ask you 2-3 questions, which were pretty straight forward. The interviewers consisted of faculty, pharmacists, and alumni. They want to know more about you and how you think, so just put your best foot forward. At the end of each section, they ask if you have any questions for them, so I would suggest that you have some ready. Finally, there is a general Q & A part that is not graded. I was accepted within a week! Best of luck!
I was wondering the same thing. And when should we expect to hear back?Anybody else interview today?
Those who have already gotten accepted, do they call you or email you to let you know you got in?
I was wondering the same thing. And when should we expect to hear back?
Oh ok. I think it went alright. The interviewers were extremely friendly and laid back. It felt like we were having a normal conversation. However, I did feel like I didn't get enough time to answer the questions, time just flew by!Tara said anywhere from 3 business days to a week before we hear back.
How do you think your interview went?

How about you? How did you find it?
Don't worry, I'm sure you did great! And I know what you mean about that one interviewer, she was the same towards me, so I'm sure it wasn't because of your answer. We just have to wait and see. Hopefully we both get in!Oh that's good. I recently did an MMI where we only had 7 minutes, so I'm kind of use to that time constraint. I felt like some of the interviewers were really friendly but one of the ladies just kind of stared at me and I couldn't tell if she was just cold or didn't like my answers. Oh and I was annoyed about the essay! Cuz I was told I had 30 minutes then a different girl came in and said time's up at 25 minutes so I never got to look it over and quickly check for any mistakes. Plus I wasn't a big fan of the topic. Blah, I'm so anxious! I think I did good but not amazing

I'm sure you have been, but make sure to check the email provided in PharmCAS. Also check your spam folders... if you haven't heard anything for another week or so, I'd contact Tara in Admissions.Wow have no idea why they are taking long to reply
I emailed her the Thursday they said we should be getting a reply she told me that they are still waiting to make decisions on some applicants but now another ten days passed but still nothing don't want to keep bugging them though with emails..I'm sure you have been, but make sure to check the email provided in PharmCAS. Also check your spam folders... if you haven't heard anything for another week or so, I'd contact Tara in Admissions.
I still regret not going on January 9th that was my original interview date but because the storm I rescheduled maybe I had a better shot then who knows?The interview is really straight forward and quite relaxed. I interviewed on January 9th and received a conditional offer via email on the 13th. Best of luck to those still interviewing...
As for interviewers offering and not offering feedback/nonverbals - this is typical in most interview scenarios. The interviewer doesn't want to persuade your answer because of their feedback/nonverbal communication.
Have you found out yet?I still regret not going on January 9th that was my original interview date but because the storm I rescheduled maybe I had a better shot then who knows?
No not yetHave you found out yet?
Have you had any contact with Admissions since the interview? If not, I would try calling them today to "check-in" on your application's status...No not yet
I actually did twice they ended up telling me the wait could go on till April but I will try to call them again soon because I cant keep waiting need to know what my next step will be...Have you had any contact with Admissions since the interview? If not, I would try calling them today to "check-in" on your application's status...
Well I got a reply a couple month back but was not accepted, I guess a lot were reapplying during my interview. Next year it is !Has anyone had any updates from Tara recently?
