You only got one rejection out of the three you interviewed! Your chances are still good, don't lose hope 🙂

Wow. Wow. I never once put anyone down. I implied that they should use spell check for grammatical errors before posting. I was in no way ignorant or rude. Do you even know what ignorant means? It's a fact that it is hard for us to understand their statements or questions if we can't understand them. I think you jumped the gun on this one buddy.

FYI: If you can't take a little constructive criticism, I doubt pharmacy school is for you. Or any type of medical program for that matter.

Come on .... this is the internet. no one is picky about grammar here. why do you gotta bring that up?

Did you apply to any new schools? That might be a safer bet. Hang in there and keep trying. Is it too late to sign up for the pcat in January? Bringing that score up would help and some schools take the January pcat. Do you have work or volunteer experience? If not, maybe you could call your local free medical clinic and ask to help in the pharmacy. That's a good thing to talk about at an interview.

I'm really scared, too. My English is not good since I've lived in this country for only 3.5 years. Any advice to prepare for the interview?

Get an American friend (because they know the idioms of the language) to practice the interview with. Or go to your school's career center and ask for help. Write out the interview questions from the "interview feedback" page on this website that are particular to the schools you are interviewing with and use these in your practice sessions.

Good luck!

Thank you. I write out the interview questions and try to answer it now. I think I will try to practice by myself several times before doing a mock interview with my friend.

Step out of your comfort zone and socialize with people in English (assuming that the crowd you hang out with have a similar background to you and that you guys speak your own native language primarily).

Yes. I am trying to do it but it's hard. many vietnamese people r around me and i have a tendency to speak vietnamese w/ them.
