When I went there were two sets of interview that were being done. I had the 12:45 interview start time. When I arrived the earlier interviewees were leaving. You guys will probably run into each other so ask questions.
1st thing you do is sign in with security and he will assign you a badge. You then wait in the hall until everyone has signed in. You will all have some time to talk to each other so make some friends. After about 10-15 minutes Lauren will come get every one and escort you guys to the presentation room where she will explain the day's itinerary to you. She's very nice and will make you feel welcomed.
After Lauren speaks to you someone else will come speak to you about the program and the school's curriculum.
Afterwards your group is split up and half of you will go interview and the other half will get a tour of the school. The tour group will go on the tour led by the Pharm students. After the tour the groups switch.
During the interview process you will be put into a room with your group and the interviewers will come get their respective interviewee. You will know who your interviewer is because it will be in your information pack when you arrive.
The interview is one on one and the staff makes every effort to make you feel comfortable. I know it is hard to do, but i really mean it when I say they are very laid back during the interview. My interviewer was very nice and she made me feel very comfortable. Talking to the other students I get the consensus that this is the case with all the interviewers.
After the interviews you are lead back into the presentation room where you are allowed a session of Qs & As with the current students. they range from p1 - p4 students. Feel free to ask any questions that you may have about the program or about the city here. This is your chance to feel out the school and how the student's experience with the school is.
After the Q & A session you will be introduced to someone from the financial aid department, where she will explain your options on how to be able to pay for school.
After the Financial aid session you will be introduced to the Assistant Dean of the Bradenton campus. He will speak to you and answer any final questions you may have. This will conclude your day. after wards you sign out and be on your merry way.
👍
Hope this helps you. If any one have specific questions just send me a message. I know it's a nerve racking experience and hopefully this helps to ease the process for you a bit. The staff are very professional and they really try to make you feel comfortable.
I was one of the students who was put on an alternate list but from what I hear that is not all bad. They say that the alternate list moves pretty fast
Well good luck on your interview!
