2013 PharmD Interview for Western Univ of Health Sciences

Hellow! I finally got an interview at Western U (seriously after about 4 or 5 years of trying). It'll be in exactly 10 days from now. I'm a bit nervous. I don't know what to expect. I read their prospective student/interviewee webpage as they suggested. It says that there will be 3 people in the panel and that the questions are behavioral-based as opposed to academic. One thing I'm iffy about is whether or not I should steer away from mentioning that I am married with four children. I feel like this will go against me because the interview is their chance to find a student that will fit their hectic curriculum. In those years of constant applying for PharmD school, I've been conferred a bachelor's in molecular cell biology and master's in biotechnology. I have years of work experience in healthcare and pharmacy but I feel like, these experiences would go against me. The panel might think that I'm all set in life and should give an open spot for someone else younger and who has yet to pursue higher education after a bachelor's or pre-requisite classes. I'm also wondering if they would still have the interviewees write an essay after the interview as the other posts (from 2006) show. Any advice about what questions may be thrown at me? ...what to expect? Thank you very much!!!! & Happy Valentines :love:
