I'll share mine.
The interview was pretty relaxing, the interviewers were two P3 professors (I believe) who were really nice. They look very closely at your personal statement and whatever you put on your supplemental (ex. extracurricular, scholarships), so pay close attention to that (ex. can you talk more about activity xyz that you did). I would suggest reading over your personal statement to review what you said. For me, there was nothing unexpected that they asked, just the normal why pharmacy, why Nova, what makes you a strong applicant, what makes a professional pharmacist, etc. But remember it's different for everyone, so be prepared to answer a lot of questions about your application. Afterwards, pharm. students would give you a tour of the school of pharmacy. My group of interviewees was awesome, and so were the students who gave us the tour. Most people were done in 15 minutes, but one student did have a half-hour interview session. There was no essay to be written at the interview.
In the end, I'm glad they really paid attention to your file because it shows that they care. 👍

The interview wasn't bad. Supposedly there was a morning session but i was scheduled for the afternoon one. There was two interviewers and most of the questions asked were found in the interview feedback. But any other questions that weren't expected were just stemmed from what you answered. My interview was 25 minutes. Finished the day at 4pm i think.
Yeah i think mine were just a paragraph in length. they did ask again during the interview "why nova" and then asked about some extracurrics. They asked me specifically about my research experience.
