Every pharmacy student will experience academic challenges - you are not alone when encountering difficulties! The interviewers would like to know that you will be able to handle roadblocks with as much emotional intelligence and poise as possible.

"When I have encountered academic difficulty in the past, I have recognized the issue early and approached my professor for additional information or study resources. With these resources, I will either increase the time spent reviewing the class material or engage another person to increase my understanding of the topic. For instance, during my biophysical chemistry class this year, I fell behind as we approached the subject of molecular interactions. To ensure my success, I hired a Department of Chemistry tutor. This approach was beneficial, and I gained a much clearer understanding of the subject, which helped my grade a great deal. Should I encounter difficulties while attending this pharmacy program, I will not hesitate to seek outside assistance."

Perhaps you reach out to other students when you encounter difficulties in your academic studies. Maybe you have conversations with your professors, or perhaps you engage a tutor to help you better understand the material. Discuss your approach to meeting challenges and how this approach has benefitted you in the past.
