Note from alumnus, James Turnbull:  “The interview process does involve case studies.  They will not be pharmaceutical based-in nature, but a level of understanding of how to address case studies will be very important.  Coming from Georgia Tech students will be well versed in how to handle/address a problem, but I know I was not formally introduced to case studies until graduate school.”
