It also lets faculty determine which candidates are a good fit for us, and gives you the chance to be considered for one of our scholarships. Each year, we award varying amounts in scholarship funds to our incoming Doctor of Pharmacy students with their acceptance packages!

Check-in for your interview day typically starts at 8 a.m. MT. While there are opportunities for breaks, your schedule will be fully packed, and we recommend eating breakfast before it begins. The morning will start off with a welcome message from the School of Pharmacy Dean, followed by a Team-Based Learning demonstration, Multiple Mini Interviews, and a campus tour that includes our pharmacy lab facilities. Expect your day to wrap up by early afternoon.

- Dress the part. Dress professionally. As with any interview, your attire is part of making your best first impression.
- Mountain Time. We run on Mountain Time. Adjust your sleeping schedule accordingly.
- Meet current Doctor of Pharmacy students. Here is your chance to ask our current students what it is really like. What is life like in the Mile-High City? How has the Team-Based Learning approach helped them? Bring your questions, we are sure they will have answers.
