In addition to pharmacology, Midwestern University has programs in osteopathic medicine, dental medicine, veterinary medicine, podiatric medicine, optometry, health sciences, and several relevant graduate degree programs. With so many career options available in the healthcare realm, your admissions interviewers want to know how dedicated you are to a pursuit in pharmacy or if your interests lie in pursuing a career in medicine in general.

Many students start pursuing one degree but later realize their perception of what that looks like contrasts with the reality of that career path. This learning curve is expected. So, your interviewer has an interest in saving their potential students any unnecessary expenses in tuition costs just as much as they want to preserve the graduation rate and track record for success. They could also potentially help you customize your curriculum, which would allow you the flexibility to apply those credits to another degree within their university. The more specific you can be in your response, the more genuine your reply will feel. When you think about pharmacology compared to other medical careers, examine what factors influenced you most.
