How would you prepare for the interview process

[Hosstheboss]

Hi. I haven't been extended an interview yet but it seems like they are very important. How would you prepare for an interview? What do you need to know and what are they going to ask? If anyone has any ideas thanks.

You can browse the Interview Feedback on here...It helps A LOT.
The interview feedbacks will tell you a sample of some of questions that are asked for a specific school (though many questions stated will be common and general, such as "why pharmacy"), what are some of the positive/negative aspects of the school after the student's visite and what you should expect, ect.
I also found the interview feedback helpful in my application process. The feedbacks often have student ratings of the school after the visit.
Also, you should research the school, do practice interviews, and have a few questions in mind that you would like to ask the interviewer after the interview (interviews often end with, "Do you have anything else you would like to know about the school?")

hope this helps and good luck~

i agree with all of this and would like to add one small thing: for open file interviews, be sure to review your application, particularly your supplemental application, as they usually ask you something off of it.
