You forgot an important last question: "Do you have any questions?"
 
What kind of medication would you be and why?😀

I've heard some pharm schools like to throw in a fun question too!

Dang! I apologize for all those typos, and I really don't know what I was typing on that last part. Today was really long! Hope it makes more sense now.

Oh my gosh, I was asked that on both interviews and I didn't have any questions! Interviewer: So do you have any questions? Me: No, I don't think so. . . Interviewer: You sure you don't have any questions? Me: I can't think of any at the moment. Interview: There's nothing you'd like to ask. Me: I think this school is really great and I'd love to go here. I totally thought I bombed that interview! Turns out I got in, but if I could do any part of the interview over I would repeat that part. Make sure you do some research into the school because they want to know that you're interested. Anyway, here is the link to specific interview questions at the different schools: http://share.studentdoctor.net/interviewpharm/index.asp This helped me a lot ^_^
