It is vital to build solid relationships with your professors, healthcare professionals, and employers. Keep in mind that it is important to gather your letters of recommendation in advance, do not wait until you start your application. You want give the individual you choose to recommend you plenty of time to write a strong letter that reveals your best qualities as a future OT.

Some of your classes here at Clemson may be large, and finding one on one time with your professors may become a challenge so I encourage all to utilize your resources and attend your professor’s office hours.
Interview
Pre-Pharmacy students can come in with a solid, competitive GPA, and PCAT score, but lose their chance of acceptance if they bomb the interview portion of the application. The interview is placed into the application process to ensure the individual is a good candidate for their pharmacy program. The admissions council wants to make sure they bring someone into the program that is educated and familiar with pharmaceuticals. Practice interview questions are all of the web, and mock interviews are available to students as well right here on campus!
