Thanxxx "sereneone" for sharing your experience again. I want to know as you mentioned, everyone in your group took time to share their story? was it for group discussion? and is it for like why interested in pharmacy? or some other general topic?
Do they test students on anything related to current Health-care related topics, drugs, pharmacy news we should be aware of?
also in the earlier message u mentioned Dean or Director introduces Students and why each are interested in pharmacy? is it in the Introduction ? wow.wonder how it feels when everyone finds out why you are interested in pharmacy career, and why others.
Again Thank you very much for your feed back..and i will definitely let you know how my interview goes, if accepted will be great to be in the same class 🙂
I interviewed last year and was also accepted. From the sound of the Serene's post it was basically the same as last years.
So the introduction was first the faculty talked about why pharm etc. And then the students talked about themselves for a minute or so. I remember one question to everyone was...list a quote you would live by. Some people listed quotes from the bible, famous quotes from individuals etc.
Anyways, the essay question was something pretty straightforward. I dont remember the exact question, but I think it had something to do with your biggest influences or w/e. I wouldnt worry about it too much, its just to test if you can form correct paragraphs and sentences.
😛 (well my opinion of it anyways)
The solo interview was just your standard interview. Why here? Why Pharmacy? Etc
The group interview was about 4-5 students. The Ms. Kell, another faculty and one Harding Pharm student are there and they ask a one question and each person answers it at a time. I remember one question was one word that describes you and why. I think the other question was pretty general. Finally the last question had to do with your opinion of current events and future of pharmacy. Basically 2 people in my group got into an small argument about reform and I did not even get to talk at all about the subject. I saw one of the girls, who was arguing at another school's interview. I told her I got the phone call that I was accepted (she seemed really surprised), and she told me she never got a call. Tbh, I was a bit put off by her responses thru the whole group interview, so I can't fully say her arguing may have hurt her.
Good luck. Its not too hard, I would recommend practicing with a friend, read the feedback and just relax.
🙂
