You can usually be assured to get similar questions regardless of where you interview. Look through the other schools' feedback and just be familiar with the questions they ask.

You should definitely have a good answer to "Why pharmacy?" and "Why our school?". There's usually some sort of moral dilemma they ask as well which is similar to: "You discover a friend/classmate cheating on an exam. What do you do?".

You should be able to answer what your strengths/weaknesses are and your weakness should not be that you are an overachiever 🙄.

These are good, I also got a question similar of if a relative worked in my pharmacy, how would i treat him if he always came in late, etc etc. I read over my application a few times before my interview also to make sure that I was giving the same type of answers that I gave in my short essays on my interview for consistency.

I second this. Definitely read over your application and make sure you have all your activities and dates in order. The three schools i interviewed at all asked similar questions. The ones people posted already are pretty standard and you can almost guarantee you'll be asked those. I was also asked several questions pertaining to how i would react with a difficult person and about a time when i went out of my way to help another person. What should be kept in mind is that its always important, no matter the question, to answer it with an example of something you did that solidifies your response.

For example if they asked you how you would deal with a difficult patient/customer: You might respond by saying you'll remain calm and try and talk them through their problem in a respectful manner. But don't stop there. Give an example of a time where you actually dealt with a similar situation. At work, at home, at school. Anything that is relatable to the situation.

Don't sweat the interview. Prepare and you'll be fine. Mine were all very laid back. Just like having a conversation with someone.
