Accepted Candidates
• Dates during which interviews are generally held:
October through February
• Describe your institution's interview process. Limit 100 words. Please add a link for more detailed descriptions:
Once an applicant's file is complete, the Director of Admissions and the Admissions Committee review an applicant's GPA and PCAT scores to determine the applicant's interview eligibility. If they consider the applicant eligible for an on-campus interview, an invitation will be sent to the applicant. All interviews are scheduled on a first-call/first-scheduled basis. No interviews will be granted until an individual's application process is complete. Interview invitations are typically extended from September through February. During the interview process, the applicant will meet with an interview panel consisting of pharmacy faculty members, pharmacists, and/or pharmacy students. Panel members will evaluate the applicant's professional motivation and preparedness, personal qualities, communication skills, and decision-making ability by rating the applicant on a standardized evaluation scale. The interview panel members will also review each interviewee's MWU-CPG supplemental application to facilitate the interview process. After reviewing the applicant's completed application and interview evaluation, the Admissions Committee can recommend accepting, denying, or placing the applicant on an alternate list. This recommendation is then forwarded to the Dean for final approval. Applications to MWU-CPG are processed and reviewed during regular intervals in the admissions cycle until the class is filled.
