Hi OP,
You were chosen because your school saw a key strength in your application. you must then highlight your strengths, which may be your excellent work and volunteer experiences. Talk about those and how those make you a good candidate for your school.
Also, be ready to explain your low-medium statistics. Sometimes schools dont ask, but be ready just in case.
Treat this like meeting a new person. Sometimes, interviewers just want to get to know you as a person. Treat your interviewers with respect, and you will get positive results for sure.

Be ready to answer standard questions:
Why pharmacy?
Why this school?
Talk about such and such work/volunteer activity.
Talk about a time you had a lot going on, a lot on your plate. How did you handle that?
How do you deal with stress?
What are your hobbies?
How would a close friend describe you?
What are your weaknesses?
How would a supervisor describe you?
How did you handle/resolve a conflict?
How did you handle a conflict involving another person?
Tell me about a time when someone didnt pull their weight.
So what brings you here in (city where your school is located) all the way from (your home city)?
This city can get very cold, can you deal with that?
What do your parents/spouse think about you moving all the way to (this city)?
It says here you only have 3 references. Some people had 5, 6, even 10. Can you explain that?
What is your back up plan to pharmacy?
It looks here like you are more prepared for research/medicine/nursing. Why did you pick pharmacy over such profession?...No, no dont tell me again that you like chemistry, tell me WHY did you pick pharmacy over (such profession)?
Last year there many applicants who applied here because they didnt make it to medical school. And guess what? We rejected all 10 of them. So... have YOU ever considered medicine?
We had over 10,000 applicants this year for 100 spots, why should we pick you?... Dont think about it. Quickly, Quickly!Just give me 3 words, quickly.
(sports team) beat (other sports team) last night, what do you think of that?
and etc.
Overall, just stay calm, dont stutter, dont figdet. Have a good breakfast, good nights rest. Be able to answer at least the top two questions and youll do fine.
Best of luck!
