The interviewers want to know what you considered before sending your application to the University of the Pacific. They 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 the University of the Pacific.
- Attending an open house at the University of the Pacific.
- Extensive online research.
- Researching the most renowned graduates of the University of the Pacific pharmacy program.
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations.
- Speaking with a current student at the University of the Pacific, specifically someone in the program you are interested in.

"I did a lot of research on the University of the Pacific before applying. 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."
