So I was interviewing at Wingate and I was the only guy in the interview group. The women sort of avoided me like the plague and immediately formed their own clique. 🙁 My personal interview was casual so I asked her:
"What's up with the women to men ratio? I'm the only guy being interviewed today?"

Prof: "Most pharmacy schools have women outnumbering the guys by almost 3:1 sometimes. Pretty lucky for the guys eh?" *wink*

Me: "Ohhhhh yeeahh"
^ Now picture me saying that like Quagmire with the neck bounce. 😳

*Long awkward silence* (I felt like dieing after 5 seconds)

Prof: "Umm sooooo tell me about yourself?

😳 Nice lady though, I got accepted too.

LMAO!!! :laugh:
 
For some reason my upper lip kept twitching. After a couple questions it stopped.
 
A friend of mine got a ride from his girlfriend the day of the interview. She dropped him off and he when in and met everyone. Then, the long waiting and conversations with the other hopefuls. Then, he went in for the actual interview, the lady stopped in the middle of it and asked him if he knew he had lipstick on his cheek. His girlfriend gave him a kiss as he left and he had a big red set of lips on him. No one told him the whole time. He bitched about that till the day he got accepted.
 
This didn't actually happen to me, but to someone in my interview group. Our interviewer was kind of mean and kept asking us all of these political questions. No one knew exactly what to say when he asked us how we would solve the world's oil problems, so someone in my group said he would try diplomatic talks. I guess the interviewer didn't like his response because he then asked the poor guy how he would achieve world peace. We all thought he was joking and started laughing at first but as it turns out he was dead serious. I felt bad for him and tried to help him out but the interviewer just got more upset and frustrated. Really, who asks that kind of question seriously?
 
I partially ran into a support pole in a room as my interviewer and I were finding a seat.
 
my clumsy ass totally fell as the interviewer was escorting me out.
