Hey I applied to DMU for pharmacy and it took roughly 10 days to get an interview and it takes a week or less to receive your offer.

Hey sorry for the late reply.. It was mainly numeracy questions which were simple. Know your conversions and why pharmacy?
Also there is scenario questions

Hey i had my interview and got an offer literally the next day in the afternoon. The first question i got asked was about myself, im not sure if that mattered to them or it was just an ice breaker, i didnt say much i just said i like reading books and have no other hobbies😭 after that they asked me why i chose pharmacy, how i would use the 9 gphc standards while at university (i talked about leadership and communication with my peers), then they asked me maybe 5 numeracy questions and they were just conversions such as whats 10mg in g, if a patient had to get 20L of iv over the course of 4 hours, how much would they get each hour. Just simple stuff. That was pretty much it, it was a really short interview and don'tttttt be nervous cus everything will be fine. The dmu interview was probably my worst and i wasnt expecting an offer because i kept stuttering and kept giving very average answers but i apologise to the interviewer and explained thag im nervous and she understood, she didnt make me feel stupid at all. I think dmu staff r so sweet which is why i chose dmu as my firm. Goodluck !!! Let me know how it goes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
