Yeah you're right! Thanks a lot
and yeah I'm practicing interview questions now I was even suggested to use techniques like the mocking technique but I would feel silly and probably awkward if they notice ha but even though I didn't study interview questions so much a Midwestern I still answered them all well, but I can do better now. Where do you currently reside?I'm in CAYeah you're right! Thanks a lot
Nice! I want to live there so bad. Is it competitive there?
of course it is haha
Are you out of state?
Me too. Still waiting! That out of state wait is rough
I interview Saturday! And second time? How's the process? Or how was it? I'm super nervous. Work has been over working me I haven't had the time to study for it.
Same here. I think a group interviews this evening. When do you interview?
Tomorrow
Thanks! Yeah I'll let you all know how it goes. And any advice on interviews since you've been accepted somewhere? I'm slowly learning why I didn't get in by watching videos. For starters, at the end of the interview they asked if I had any questions and I didn't ask any. I didn't even thank them for their time or shake their hands because I was so nervous. Also, I drew a blank when they asked why I wanted to go to this school I could of said anything. I could of said because of the 3 year program and option for dual degrees... Something. I just said because it's in state.
Sorry, I'm barely getting on. I had my interview on Saturday and it was intense. At least mine was. But other than that I loved the school and everything else. I don't think I can reveal much about essay, but we were told that they were looking at our penmanship and ability to form coherent sentences or thoughts. Oh yeah and to answer exactly what the questions asks. We were also told they were going to interview about 160 people for 124 spots. So I hope I get it. I had a preceptor that interviewed me (no other relationship with the university) so I couldn't ask any questions about to school, curriculum, dual degree programs etc. He probably spoke more than I did I felt like I didn't get to shine. I was asked about 7 questions but 3 of them were basically the same thing. The essay I can't really say anything to help you be ready for it. It's either you can do it or not. They give you 3 topics to choose from. I was told they judge based on your entire application not just the interview so I hope I get it. If I had someone with a stronger background in chemistry or more affiliated with the school I would of been more confident and had a better experience, but I don't want to go to any other school even though I applied to a few others.
THANK YOU!! i'm interviewing 2/12. Idk if this made me feel less stressed or more hahaha but they are giving a lot of spots to interviewers!!!
You should be fine I just think it was the person that interviewed me, but yeah Marty said they're waiting on like 20 people to post their grades from last semester so they're might be less that 160 hopefully ha I really want to get in.
I believe it is Feb 26 - Mar 2 something like that I have the sheet at home not with me. I stayed in the quality inn flamingo something ha but it was like 1300 n stone ave. I paid 80 buck including tax. I recommend this hotel, the outside may not look too nice but the interior is actually really nice for a smaller hotel. And its like a 5 min drive from the school and they have room service sort of. Their is a menu there, but its from a company down the street and they deliver it. I didn't have enough time for the free breakfast though
i'm glad you had a great time! makes me look forward to it next week! any advice??
thank you!!! so for the rest of the questions were they just standard interview questions? i can't imagine they could ask a lot in 20-25 minutes for the interview!Parking can be an issue so get there early but do not GO IN too early they are specific about not arriving more than 50 minutes before the interview time. You will get your picture taken, as they mentioned in the email. What they did not mention in the email is that if accepted that picture will follow you for 4 years, so look your best
The process is truly set up to help you interview the school and for the school to interview you. Be yourself. Have a strategy for your essay. There will be a large clock on a screen and known you have 25 minutes so allot X time for an outline, and finish with X time left for review.
I was not asked to address specific weaknesses in my application, but I do know that others were asked this. Be ready to take responsibility for and explain anything that they may ask regarding your application.
My interview did go slightly longer than alloted, and we did cover more than in my interview with another school. I think the interviewer has some discretionary ability to adapt, so while others has more standard questions mine flowed from his first question more like a conversation that evolved from my experiences that led me to pharmacy and then into healthcare today. I'd be prepared.
I found the Class of 2019 curriculum from the UA website, take a look:
Thanks!
It would be nice if they would give us a heads up on when they will let us know, I'm tired of checking my email and portal every 20 minutes haha
Not yet. I've been checking since yesterday lol
If anyone is in frequent contact with Marty they should call and get a timeline
I'm so excited. Maybe I'll be seeing some of you in the fall.
Check your email! I just got mine
I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe they sent out the Phoenix campus acceptances first.
