I'm going to gag as I type this...but you can go off on a tangent like this...

Independent effort of formal coursework has prepared me for the didactic aspect of the pharmacy school perhaps.. but my extra-curricular activity involved teamwork to achieve a common goal... blah blah.. then talk about how pharmacy being a part of a healthcare team for the benefit of patients..

Get it?

Thank you Zpack. I was thinking something along those lines too. I was stumped because they said pharmacy SCHOOL. I wasn't sure if i could talk about how the experiences prepared me for the pharmacy career as a whole or if they just wanted me to concentrate on how it prepared me for their school.
