I just got an interview offer today and I'm stressed. What should I do to be well prepared for an interview? I have two weeks from now. This is my first interview, so I will definitely go and get experience. Any experience to share? I appreciate it.

There are a lot of previous threads with suggestions. I would also read the FAQ thread at the top, and the database of questions.

Here are some good links:

http://more.studentdoctor.net/schoollist.php?type=4 This helped me a lot. It has many of the schools posted, with questions, feedback, etc. Also, a mock interview with parents, friends, or counselors at your current school makes a big difference. I did one session at my school, videotaped, and got to watch that. Showed how I was coming across as a candidate, and it really pointed out my flaws, which I was able to work on and correct. Plus, when I did the actual interview, I took a deep breath beforehand and remembered that they invited me, which means they want me there. Just show them you want to be there, and that you're prepared, and you should do fine. Congratulations and good luck!

Practice interview with your professor. That is really helpful. Study about the school and its pharmacy program, then prepare some questions to ask the interviewers. Learn about the interview feedback in sdn as well.
Good luck.

Definitely practice, practice, practice.

And throughly de-stress the night before (no studying, no sitting alone worrying yourself silly - do something totally unrelated to pharmacy - go out with friends, or get a massage, or curl up with a cat and a good book - whatever works best for you.

Good luck!
