My interview is next Monday, so I looked under the interview feedback section, and was surprised to find that two of the three reviews for 2007 rated it as "Negative". I guess with only three reviews it's not statistically significant or anything, but was it really that bad? I'm getting a little nervous.

For those who've already interviewed there, how were your experiences?

it was ok. not very stressful at all. many were happy w/ their interviews. the reason i think they had "negative" feelings are that the interviewers DO NOT know you b4 they interview you. nothing nada.

i came 10 mins early b4 my interview time and so we used that time to get to know me (like where i'm from, what school i go to... b/c they usually don't ask that). if your interviewer is willing to interview early if he sees you come early, then take that time to talk. but other tan that, it's only 20 mins and they don't know anything about you. but it's not bad.

the math/science test was easy (or should be ). the essay is very doable.

u should be fine. just read the feedback b/c u get those questions EXACTLY.

Thanks for all the info🙂 but....Science exam? I thought the email just said some math conversions. Do you happen to remember some sample questions? And I'm assuming it's multiple choice?

math is simple conversion. science is basic bio questions. i dont think i can go into specifics but man, if u don't get all right, u need to retake 9th grade bio. don't worry about it.

To be honest, I walked in there without knowing there was a test on math and bio mostly because I thought I was done with interviews until I recieved invite in Colorado. I was surprised.

They were basic questions. If these questions couldn't be answered, then Pharmacy School will be very very hard for you.

That's a relief to hear, thanks!😀 I have just one more question: did the interviewers ask anything about current events in health or any situational questions? (I prepared a lot for these for my other interviews -- which were over a month ago -- and in the end, I wasn't asked a single question about health care, or what I would do in so-an-such situation). So I'm just curious if I should spend time any time on this....Thanks!

The essay question has generally been about current issues in the past.

Probably because for a select few applicants they did. Just because someone on here didn't find out right away doesn't mean no one did. Just relax and they will send out acceptances soon.

they did ask what my current thoughts were on the healthcare system, but i think it's a pretty typical question at a lot of places. it was definitely a very laid back atmosphere for me as well as for other people that were interviewing. it seemed as if everyone had joked around with their interviewers. in the information session at the beginning of the interview, they stated that you will hear from them by the first week in april.

Besides all the math and science portions, what else did they do at the interviews at the University of Colorado? I was interviewed at Medco for a job once after I passed the 75 question test in 60 minutes, and did not get the job. I was wondering what the interview would be about.
