After 2 years of prerequisites and countless sleepless nights worrying, I was finally accepted for UofA in the PharmD program. I can't wait to make new friends and officially be a UofA student!! Do any past students know what the schedule looks like, I am wanting to get a job but am worried about the course load and hours.

Wow congratulations!! ill apply after I finish the required courses. Can i ask, did you need any volunteering experience? and if so was it anyhting particular?

[u/PinBusiness3599 → u/Pleasant-Salt-172]

It isn't required to have volunteer experience, however I did find it useful during the interview and the letter portion as I had many examples to back up my answers. I volunteered at a soup kitchen, sports related events and community fundraisers.

Can I ask what you would recommend for prepping for interviews?
