is there a website that lists the most common INTERVIEW questions asked as well as the common answers. it's just so i don't fall into the trap of saying what most people say.
where can i find interview questions?

Even though this website is for medical school interviews, I'm sure the questions are extremely similar.

Honestly, I'd say just be yourself. I didn't look at any interview questions and I got into all the schools I applied to. My friend who studied all the questions only got into 1/5 schools. Don't be nervous, relax and BEEEE yourself as the Genie says in Aladdin.

yeah, u need to be yourself. but at the same time, u need to know what to expect. you can't just be yourself without knowing what you're talking about.
so going over some typical questions, like why pharm, what do u see yourself in 10 yrs, would be nice. like spyris' friend, my friend also "studied" the questions and thought he was gonna get in, but he didn't get into any school. does that mean you shouldn't prepare for interview? NO! it means that you should know what you wanna say, but not to the extent that you're memorizing things that you wanna say.
yes, in the end, know your stuff and be yourself. then you're golden!
hope it helps.

This link is pretty good. It has suggestions and also sampler questions.

Trying to practice these questions in your head is very useful.
Another thing, I found that applying to multiple schools and going to multiple interviews was also helpful. It's like you are rehearsing it over and over again.
I even picked up some good stuff during my early interviews and then used it during my last interview.
Bottom line, you learn new things every time yo go to that 40-45 minute interview.
Another thing, not all interviewers are the same. When you get that interviewer with the right chemistry, you will feel really relaxed and confident. You can talk about anything from A to Z and you really mean it when you say "it's a pleasure to meet you". However, in most cases, you will get an interviewer that feels moderately okay. Just treat it like a regular conversation and it should be over soon.
