Hi! I will have an interview next week. My school only mentions about bringing my ID. I wonder what else i should bring to the interview? Should I bring a resume with me?

You shouldn't need a resume. They have your application at this point, and no one I interviewed with brought one.

I had to bring passport style photographs with me to my interview, but that was because I didn't mail them prior to the interview. The admissions office can answer what specifically you need.

The school I interviewed at participated in MMI's, and several people brought professional looking folders with notebook paper to prepare ideas for each scenario, rather than get nervous and stumble through it. I thought that was a good idea.

Thank you very much🙂
 
even if school says not brining anything else but ID, I usually bring notepad with black-lethered cover, couple resumes and CVs (and of course pen too!). In that case, you will have chance to write it down anything during their information session and show your resume/CV on your interviews (it looks more prepared by admin too)

I forgot to bring a writing utensil during an interview for the essay portion... had to ask admission office to borrow one. You live and learn!
 
I will bring my cv and a copy of my ps just in case.
BTW, do you mind sharing which school are interviewing?

Thank you for the advice.
I will be interviewed at University of North Texas next week. They just informed me on Tuesday. I only have 1 week to prepare for the interview. Im a little bit nervous.
 
I just had my interview less than 3 weeks ago n I already got accepted. Anyways, it's always good to have a small portfolio or note pad and pen, it makes you look professional. of course you need your ID but nothing else like a pocket book etc. Resume is not necessary because they receive a your information through PharmCas. Most importantly Dress to impress!!!
