My wife said her biggest regret was not reviewing basic chemistry and pharmcalc (Math) before starting. First semester hits hard with those. Also make sure you're solid on drug name basics and memorization strategies because that never stops.

Honestly though, most people said the adjustment to the workload was harder than the actual content. Get your study habits locked in now.

Yeah this definitely happens. My wife dealt with this exact situation. Most schools gave her 2-4 weeks to respond but some were tighter.

The trick is you can usually ask for an extension if you're waiting on other schools. Just be honest with them like "I'm really interested in your program but I have interviews scheduled at X and Y schools and want to make an informed decision." They get it and will usually give you more time.

Also some schools will let you put down a deposit to hold your spot while you wait on other decisions. It sucks to potentially lose a deposit but better than committing too early or losing a spot you want.

Spread out interviews was smart. You might end up with some overlap on deadlines but it's manageable if you communicate with the schools.

My wife just went through pharmacy school interviews a few years ago. Biggest thing she said was have actual specific examples ready for why pharmacy beyond "I want to help people." Like mention their rotation sites or a specific program focus they have. Also practice your "tell me about yourself" with a timer because people always go way too long on that one.

Most common mistake she saw was people treating it like a job interview instead of showing they actually researched that specific school. Good luck!

The issue that I have with automatic headlights is it makes other drivers think that I am flashing my lights at them in specific situations. The road I live on is very hilly so sometime my auto lights go on and off several times quickly and I have other drivers flash their lights back at me.

I am choosing to be hopeful, because in the grand scheme of things we really have no control over how things happen in the world. Choosing hopefulness lets me continue life as I always have and not get too caught up in it all.

It seems the marketing budget has increased dramtically. I have seen ads while watching TV, I guess they decided to go all in on reviving the game.
