Attending a pharmacy program is a highly involved commitment, and the interviewers want to see evidence that you are ready to handle the expectations of the next four years ahead. Not only will you be starting pharmacy school, but there is a chance you will be relocating to a new city to attend the university. You may also have financial stressors on your mind as you enter this new commitment. Discuss in detail how you plan to remain emotionally grounded as you enter this challenging (yet rewarding!) time in your life.

"I have formed a three-pronged plan to tackle the stressors that may arise during my pharmaceutical program. These three approaches will address my academic stress, the emotional strain of adjusting to my new surroundings as I relocate, and the financial strain of high tuition. For academic stress, I plan to create a study schedule that I will stick to closely. I will join study groups to help me gain a broader perspective from others, and I have made arrangements for a part-time tutor if needed. For the strain that will result from uprooting myself, I have planned to join a couple of university clubs to get to know other students and make new friends, avoiding feelings of loneliness. I also plan to FaceTime my family weekly to prevent me from feeling homesick. The financial commitment of becoming a pharmacist is a reality that I have come to terms with. I have created a solid financial plan to repay my loans, and I enlisted a financial advisor to help me create a student budget that I will adhere to closely. I feel well-prepared to cope with and address the immense workload and other expectations ahead of me as a pharmacy school student."
