The interviewers would like to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to Temple University. They really do not want to hear that you blindly sent out a million applications, hoping that something would stick. Share with the interviewers the consideration you put into your application.
Some methods of consideration could have been:
- Talking to/ interviewing alumni of Temple University.
- Attending an open house at Temple University.
- Extensive online research.
- Researching the most renowned graduates of Temple University's pharmacy program.
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations.
- Speaking with a current student at Temple University, specifically someone in the program you are interested in.

"I was sure to conduct a great deal of research in addition to what I found on your website before applying to Temple University. I started by interviewing some alumni I know and spoke with a couple of your current students in the pharmacy program. Last year I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me, which is why I chose to apply here."

The interviewers would like to hear that you did more than research the university's website. While researching the website is an excellent start, finding other ways to research the university shows determination and drive. If you can visit the campus and speak with students and staff or attend an open house, it shows the interviewers that you put forth great effort to research their university.
