From the list I was asked (last year):

Tell me about yourself?
Why do you want to be a student at Western University?
What are your weaknesses?
What are you doing to overcome your weaknesses?
How do you think a friend or professor who knows you well would describe you?
How do you perform under pressure?

In Addition they asked me:

Have you ever managed anyone at work?
If someone in your group would not cooperate with you, how would you handle this situation?
Tell me about your experiences in the pharmacy.
What is one negative aspect you see while working at a pharmacy? And how would you handle this situation?

My interview was pretty long! I think I was one of the last person in my group to finish. But they all had pretty good impressions of me.

Among the questions you listed, I was asked: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 11. In addition, they asked:

1. What do you do on the weekends?
2. Are you interested in in-patient pharmacy?
3. What are the top 3 things you disliked about working in retail pharmacy?

They also asked a bunch of other little questions. However, they were regarding more specific stuff about me they wanted to know and so they don't really apply to everyone I guess.
