Question for Interviewers

At the end of an interview, the schools always ask if we have any questions for them. Can anybody give me some advice (examples) on what questions to ask? Usually, my research is done on the school so I don't feel that I need to ask things like that. Besides, they may think that I have done my research if I did ask...so any advice? Thanks!!

actually, asking questions and kind of "interviewing" the school is a very good technique which i feel helped me out a lot in my texas tech interview this past friday. ask questions about the faculty, which i feel makes the faculty interviewer very pleased that you care about the faculty that work and teach at the school..you think of them as more than teachers. ask about their research projects, if any, they are involved in. ask the student questions like "i know undergraduate studies doesnt truly compare to the work load i am going to receive in the 1st semester, so can you describe a typical day at pharmacy school and how many hours a day you study?" you can also ask if there are work opportunites available for the student. so on and so on. i asked bout 6 questions and my whole interview was based on my questions and i flowed through it without any bad marks

At Western they focus on group work, group cohesion, etc. They asked me what I would do if someone in the group wasn't participating. I asked them how the groups were chosen, if they've had anyone with that problem, and what they did.

Thanks!! It seems a lot of pharmacy schools do a lot of group work!

Ask them what make their program unique? What has been improved since the last class graduated? What is his/her opinion regarding 'recent pharmacy issue'?

That's all I can think about. And yes, please show them that you are interested 🙂

I have another interview at Minnesota. We'r going to be on the same boat. GOOD LUCK, MATE!!!
