Thanx you too... People didn't want to go to USN last year?


someone said that 50 people on the WL will definitely get in. I hope I'm at least on that list. My friend had over 3.7 with a degree but was not accepted 2 years ago but was accepted last year. I think its different year to year but I don't know how this year will be. My GPA is lower than that.

On the website it said not to call about your status so stop annoying Dr. Deyoung if you are LOL.

But if your nagging pays off and you're accepted let me know through PM LOL.

lol the nagging starts Friday lol

So if we call, I wonder if he will give us our status or tell us to call back at the end of the month? I'm afraid to get the call of acceptance, I dont know what I'll do, probably vomit and pass out or something. Then when I wake up, I'll call him back.

ewww. did you have to say vomit. i just had my lunch!
I can understand you passing out. I would too.

I'm too scared to call him....

Last time I called him finding out if he was going to call people on a specific day, he asked me "You want to know your status don't you?"

Hard to really ignore that lol...but it was expected, but he was still nice about it :p
So did he tell you your status?

I finally have a chance to speak with Dr. Deyoung today about my status. He told me to hang in there and be patience. He'll be able to give me a clearer picture after April 26. I did asked him about how many seats are still left in Henderson and he said that he wouldn't be able to know after April 26. The bottom line is: Be patient and call him back after April 26.

All he said was "you might hear from me by next week or by the end of this month".

Damn...I'm soo nervous now :scared:

I'd see that as a sign of pre-acceptance. Good luck and Congras in advance.

Wish I was optimistic as you, but I don't think so.

I don't want to have my hopes up and then have it taken away in an instant.

The deposits for currently accepted students needs to be in by April 14th. So there is a good chance you will know very soon after that date. Best of Luck!

So in other words there is no point in calling him until the end of the month...........why must we suffer? :eek:

Well I'm going to e-mail him for the hell of it lol...Might as well try and see were I'm at...I'm sick of waiting it's starting to get to me lol.

If you read last year's thread...there were two students that had similar responses from Dr. DeYoung when they emailed him...and a couple weeks later, they both got accepted. Check out this thread from page 32-34, their names are Klao and Springs.

Early congrats :thumbup: Sending out my e-mail tomorrow. Do you mind PMing me what you said so I can compare it to my rough draft and see if we got similar things written down?

I never met a group of people who are so optimistic (with the exception of my parents).

I thank you all, but it still doesn't mean anything at this point, I'll let you know if anything does happen, whether I got accepted, rejected, or wait-listed.

Sure Jew Unit, I'll send a PM now.

Keep up the reports everyone. Good luck to all of us that are still waiting to hear!

Here's hoping that today our waiting will be over.

My friend had over 3.7 with a degree but was not accepted 2 years ago but was accepted last year.

Oh my god, that sounds exactly like me!!! 3.7 gpa, bachelors degree, and an almost perfect pcat score and I'm still wating. Obviously I didn't too too stellar in the interview or I would have been accepted by now. Oh well, it was my first interview ever, live and learn. I'm wondering if I should call and annoy him as well because the school I am at is wanting me to be a lab instructor next year and is awaiting a reply.

Is there anyone who interview at USN on January 19, at Henderson campus, who got the call?



I got accept early this month and interviewed in Jan as well... GL to you

sht-aki mushrooms. I have a 3.2 GPA, low PCAT, and no degree.... On the upside I think I did pretty well on my interview. :idea:

I'm thinking about offering my first born child in exchange for acceptance. J/K

I gave in guys. I emailed Dr. DeYoung just now. I will let you know what he says. :p

Got an e-mail back...Just got the generic answers of you'll know after 4/27 :(

"I hope to be able to give you a better update on your admission status after April 27th "

Thats a long time for me lol. Guess I gotta keep waiting... :(

We are all in the same boat..Good luck to all of us:xf:

I was really hoping for a call today!! So nobody got a phone call or know someone who got a phone call today?!!

I got nothing.

Nothing, and I'm not going to e-mail/call to bug Dr. DeYoung either. I just hope it doesn't backfire on some of you for trying.

April 27th? That's 3 weeks from now... the wait is killing me~ I really wanna know my status already, even if it is just waitlisted or declined.

I didn't think I did my best @ the interview since I was way too nervous~ :xf:

I don't think it will backfire. If anything, he will consider us more since he knows we really want to go to this school, as opposed to someone who hasn't called or emailed. My email was to not only ask for my status, but to say how much I like the school and also to thank him for the opportunity and interview. :D

lol if anything, it will backfire on you for not emailing or calling him lol.

i don't think so.

on the web it said not to call and also if you read last years thread he sent several people emails and in bold it read
"please do not call to ask me about your status!"
of course it didn't sound that mean but it's somewhere along the lines of "be patient!"

:thumbup:

It's a good thing I emailed him lol. Plus thats just a test, he wants you to think you aren't supposed to call but really he wants you to. (j/k) He wants to see initiative, desire, and...... um other stuff.

there's nothing wrong about expressing your desire to attend. one email is fine. a thank you is fine too.

just don't stand out like the kid in the car whose always asking "are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet?"

:)

if you get a call you get a call. :thumbup:

I guess your symptom is a bit more extreme than mine. Is USN the only school you applied? I wonder if being open to both campus puts you in a better spot

I applied to more but denied 2 interviews, regis and chicago state. regis is too expensive and chicago state is very ghetto. Should have researched them more... so I have all my eggs in one basket ( happy easter btw lol). and yes i applied to both campuses.

I'm kidding though.. I'll never quit!!!

So, no status updates today? No, "waiting" doesn't count :P.

Hi,

I'm confused as to which campus to choose. I think i'm leaning towards Utah campus. Anybody here from the Utah campus? Wats ur opinion?

Awww......

Hi,

I am not attending right now, but I interviewed at the Utah campus and I live in Utah. I also have friends who are attending the Utah campus. I really liked the campus here in Utah during my interview and the friends I have really love it there. It is a great location too as you have everything you would want nearby.

Hi,

I'm confused as to which campus to choose. I think i'm leaning towards Utah campus. Anybody here from the Utah campus? Wats ur opinion?

Yes everyone should go to the Utah campus (so more seats at henderson open up for me). I prefer henderson and most people do. There is a waitlist for Henderson and usually seats available for Utah. So Henderson always fills up before Utah... Its the same program, my guess is location. Also lots of California people prefer Henderson because it is closer and no winter snow. I prefer it for those reasons (i'm from AZ).:nod:

I don't care which campus if I get into, I just want to get accepted lol.

Same lol especially when you can transfer between the two schools

You can do that?

You can do that?

Yup it's the same program...The only thing is that there must be room in the school for your class....What I mean is if a person drops out of the program or get's left back and you are in the same year, you can take that person's chair as long as you put in the request...Atleast that's how it was described to me.

Interesting.

Hi Dear,
I got accepted few weeks ago and already deposit at Henderson ( tho' i interviewed at Utah)
I interviewed in early Feb; i did a very good job.Even i thought i would got an ealry call but not, and I knew that there were guys more stellar than me at my time of interview.
I wrote email to him in few weeks later, and got the same generic answer ( as certain folks mentioned on here). Finally, Dr.DeYoung called me on the day he said in his email.
So i think if you have good stats enough ( of course if u had really good one u would get the early call), and esp did a good job in interviewed, you have a big chance to get in.

I hope you guys here have good lucks

I definitely don't have a problem with the Utah campus even though I'm a California native. I love snow, and I don't think Utah would have as big of a problem with drunk drivers and crime rates as Vegas area does, but I could be wrong.... I did interview at Henderson and loved the people there though.....

Nope, I've left a message on Dr. D'Young's voice mail this morning. Haven't recieved a call since. Maybe i'll try again tomorrow.

I think its because only about 10 people are active members on this thread and visit/respond regularly.
If you look back one or two pages its like the same people responding.

I hope for some good news though.

LOL! Sorry. :o

I know this was mentioned numerous times here on the forum, but how does the point system for the selection process works at USN? I'm confused.

-From past threads from years before, some have mentioned 40pts are reserved for the interview, while 60pts is reserved for the "interview selection score" (GPA's, PCAT, etc.). So 60% is based on interview selection and 40% is based on interview.

Interview Selection Score is based on
1. Overall GPA
2. Pre-requisite GPA
3. Any degree you possess (I heard it may be 1 pt. for Bachelor's, 2 pts. for Master's)
4. Number of pre-requisites completed at the time of application.
5. PCAT score


BUT WAIT:

-Others say that the interview is worth 40 points OUT of 60 points. (which means the interview counts for 2/3 of the total score, which is ~66.7%). 20 points are only made up of the "interview selection score."


Which is correct????


And has anyone received any calls for acceptance lately???

No news yet!! Does it mean that no news is good news?!!

Hello Everyone!
Congrats to those who have been accepted, and good luck to those waiting!!

I am currently a P2, and decided to check in on this website since I used it when applying :)

Ill check back if anyone has any questions about the school, especially if youre trying to decide between schools to attend..

Be patient, calling Dr DeYoung before he has called you is not going to help your chances, it will probably just annoy him.

Also I have to ask, why would you ever go to a non-accredited pharmacy school?? Or to a school that is not a pharm. D program?? Jobs are hard enough to get as is!!

Good Luck!!

I am at the Nevada campus.

Honestly, there are great teachers at the Utah campus, i think thats the plus. On the flip, theres more people, more students, and more to do in NV. If youre torn, id say go to whichever you get accepted to.

Thanx fighton09! Why did you decline the seat? Also, when did you get accepted and interviewed?


I interviewed March 2nd, then I got a phone call from Dr. Deyoung on March 22nd. Then I got my packets a little after that and had until April 15th to make a decision.

I declined the seat to go to UCSF :nod:

I really hope that as people decline their seats they move down the list and go to the next candidate, not wait until the end and see if their class is full or not and admit down the list that way you know?

Same the wait is killing me....Congrats on UCSF...I applied there and got a rejection letter for the interview.

Dr. DeYoung will probably make more calls as soon as candidates who were offered a seat make their final decision whether to attend USN or not. Hope there are plenty of seats left after the April 15th deadline. :xf:

Uggghh... the suspense!:eek:

OH my, do you know of any in particular? Cause that's scary. I know many people applying to these types of schools.

you would hope, but not necessarily!! There are many unaccredited schools out there that have graduated classes...be careful!

Hey Rae, do you mind to elaborate more on this? How many is many, and what are their names? Just let us know so we can avoid them?

I always thought that once the school has precandidacy it means it's accredited by acpe (although not fully accredited). Candidate school graduates has the same rights and privilege of a fully accredited school. It seems like they have accreditation but not full accreditation which shouldn't matter since the graduates get to sit for the naplex. I can't seem to find a school that has candidacy but failed to achieve full accreditation on google?:confused:

from last year thread, it seems like rejection letters will be send out sometimes this coming week. last year several people got their rejection letter via email on the 14th of April you can check it out at this link http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=205776&page=35.
My interiview was on March 18th, and I am still waiting, I spoke to Dr.Deyoung on last week over the phone about my status and he asked me to wait and call him back after April 27th. Hope it will be good news for everyone who is still waiting this coming week :)

Maybe it's this week we will finally get to know something.

I am sick of waiting.

Also I have to ask, why would you ever go to a non-accredited pharmacy school?? Or to a school that is not a pharm. D program?? Jobs are hard enough to get as is!!

Good Luck!!


I am one of those that is willing to attend a non-accredited, pharm school, or would go to a non-pharmacy program (ex: pharmaceutical sciences) under the condition that this school also has a pharmD program. I am not sure.... but to me, if I got rejected by a pharmacy school, this seems like a really good way to make yourself more competitive for next try.

I am a bit confused. From what you wrote it sounds like USN is not accredited...... but it is, correct? I heard that USN just recently renew its accreditation for another 5,6 years.

I am entering my P1 year at Henderson this fall. Can I ask you some questions about the materials? so when will we get the laptop? and the materials in the laptop, is that like an online book or just the powerpoint summaries of the class?

summer remediation...... 5 chances, correct? but does this include the times when you failed the friday test, but pass on the monday retaking? or this is the time when you failed twice, going to summer school? sorry.... just a bunch of confusions I forgot to ask....

Don't worry. They are accredited for 6 years. You get 6 chances. If you get 3 then your on academic probation, 6 will get you kicked out of the program.

Sorry for the double post...I have a bad feeling about this week :(. I may have to reapply next year :(.

Thanks for the info :)

I heard for some schools, there are quite a few students in the pharmacy class coming from the waitlist because in the end, students decided to go to other schools. April 14th is only couple more days so I think there will be more spaces open up, especially with USN being so expensive. Good luck :thumbup:

Thanx for the encouragement...I'm hoping to get into NV but I'll take UT at this point.

I'm hoping to get in anywhere :p

I am starting to get to the point where I don't care if I get rejected or not, I just want to know either way. I have been accepted at 2 other schools, but USN is my first choice. I would just like to start preparing to move to another school if I am not going to get in at USN.

Where else did you get in at? Ironically I'm on the flip side of what you are experiencing. Im holding a USN offer right now...but I'm on the waiting list for two other schools which I prefer. I know spots will open... so hang in there.

For those of you who got accepted and put the deposit, how much is the deposit?? If it is not too much I am afraid a lot of people put the deposit and wait untill last minute to hear from the other schools!! I know some schools ask up to $1000 to $2000 deposit to hold your seat!

it's 1000 for this school I believe

Thank you guys! Good luck for everone who is waiting for THE call! This week seems never ending!!!

You'll get the laptop during orientation. Your class materials will be posted on a server. For most profs, the powerpoint slides are all you need. Sometimes they have word docs instead and other times they have word docs that are supplementary to the powerpoints. It just goes into more detail. You'll have access to online textbooks but for the most part, you don't need them unless you want to do outside reading.

For summer remediation, you can get up to five of them. To fail and get a summer that means that you didn't pass Friday and then failed Monday too. When you do that you get a week of summer remediation. You can do that five separate times throughout the year. If you fail your block in summer remediation, then the consequences are more severe. You have to sit around a whole year until your block comes up and then you retake it with the class behind you. You only have to pay a prorated fee for the time spent in school but you will not graduate with your old class. I think you have to start paying back your loans too because you won't be at least a half time student anymore. This you want to avoid.

That doesn't seem so bad at all. Fortunately, this weeds out some of the people who aren't confident enough and feel they can't handle the program. I'm NOT saying that if USN isn't your first choice then you're not confident, so don't trip. But for some people, that is the case.

Good news for everyone: Some girl at my school who got accepted to USN, is mostly likely going to decline her seat. She's afraid of the 90% passing rule, and got accepted to a "C's gets degrees" school. Oh well, more room for you guys right? Frankly, I would rather have classmates who actually want to be at the school. I hope this seat will free up a space for someone who will contribute a lot to the team. Good luck everyone!!! Hang in there!!!

so does this mean you can fail the Friday test and retake on Monday as many times as you can? well, let's say you pass on Monday. Because then you still don't have to go through that one summer week, not a summer remediation!

Has anyone got accepted with a pretty low pcat score? How many people got interviews this year?

some people said that they were accepted with scores below 50 on the PCAT.

i really love that avatar :p

Where else did you get in at? Ironically I'm on the flip side of what you are experiencing. Im holding a USN offer right now...but I'm on the waiting list for two other schools which I prefer. I know spots will open... so hang in there.

I got in at Husson (in Maine) and Butler (Indianapolis). I declined Husson when I got accepted at Butler. I have until May 1 to let Butler know, so I am just waiting to hear from USN. I live closer to USN and it just seems like it would work better for me. What schools are you on the waiting list for?

some people said that they were accepted with scores below 50 on the PCAT.

I wonder how much weight of the 20pts (maximum "interview selection score") account for the PCAT... since Interview Selection Score is only 1/3 of the total score. I was kinda disappointed with my score, but somehow I still managed to earn an interview. I think completing all my pre-req's and having a Bachelor's helped me earn it. The interview is worth a lot more... and I knew I did pretty well on it. Still crossing my fingers... :xf:

Butler is a great school. Congrats! I’m in waiting for one of the two Midwesterns...preferably Phoenix. There is no doubt in my mind that USN will go deep into their waitlist. This school is one of the few that does allow for deferred enrollment even up to a month before classes start. So there is a chance even late in the summer to be pulled from the list. Hopefully it all works out and you don’t have to wait that long. J

so does this mean you can fail the Friday test and retake on Monday as many times as you can? well, let's say you pass on Monday. Because then you still don't have to go through that one summer week, not a summer remediation!

Yes, you can fail every single Friday exam but pass Monday and be in academic good standing. You'll have that six weeks set aside for summer remediation to lounge by the pool all day if that is what you want to do.

i really love that avatar :p

Thanks, it cracks me up every time I see it.

Alphagurl, if u don't mind... What r ur stats?


GPA-4.0; PCAT<50; Bachelors & Masters Degree

I really wish that my USN interview wasn't my first interview~ I think I did so much better with my second one, so much more calm and confident... if only there is a second chance... :lame:

Hey guys Im back from tending to my vacationing guests. I was reading everyones post and no acceptances yet!! At least I was able to stop thinking about USN for a couple of days. Now back to worrying :). I HOPE EVERYONE ON THIS POST GETS ACCEPTED!!

I HOPE EVERYONE ON THIS POST GETS ACCEPTED!!

:thumbup: I truly hope so too. In fact, it was one of my interview question about if there's only one spot left, and there are two of you who equally qualify for the spot, which one should we pick? My answered to that one was..I truly hope that we could both get in since pharmacy is really our passion!
Good luck to everyone !!!:xf:

Looking at the posts from last years class, it seems there were a lot of people waitlisted that got in. So even if you dont get accepted now, there is still a chance.

Good luck, and I look forward to meeting some of the funny/smart/insightful/encouraging people that frequent this forum!!!!

Same here. I think it's going to be a pretty awesome class!

For those that got accepted is there a USN c/o 2013 Facebook page up yet? If not someone should do one, im not very good at that sorta thing.

I was thinking the same thing...I'm just too lazy to manage it. LOL!

you would hope, but not necessarily!! There are many unaccredited schools out there that have graduated classes...be careful!

I am not applying to USN but I have a question for u since u r a USN student.....My question is it the curricullum at USN requires u to achieve 90% or more to pass a class....Do u think it is more difficult to pass or the school prepares u in a way like following a modular block system that students achieve success.......Thanks

Congratulations.

The waiting still ensues....

Sadly I'm gonna give up my spot even though I love USN. Anyway, good luck to those who are on the waitlist and to accepted students as well.

Thanks and good luck to your pharmacay career.

Whats up all...

I've been lurking and reading this thread since I interviewed in January...

but I got a call this afternoon from Dr. DeYoung this afternoon...:eek::D

Local kid makes good... IDK how many Vegas/Henderson kids got in this year but I think I'm one of the fortunate few... (I only saw one other UNLV student at my interview date)

I appreciate the positivity and optimism everyone on this thread seems to display... everything happens for a reason and we'll all get to our goal eventually....

best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear...

Congrats Monica! :thumbup: What campus did you choose?

I chose NV, because I don't know anything about the area that the other campus is located in, but I may request to change it tomorrow.

Congrats! Knowing that you had the interview on January and got accepted three months later is really encouraging. :)

Though I'm still anxious if I'm ever gonna get that call from Dr. DeYoung any day now since interviewing in February. I hope there are still seats left, esp in Henderson. But I really don't care where I get in.

this wait is torture... :bang: can't sleep! can't think about anything else but for a 702 area code to pop up on my phone so i can scream my head off!!!:soexcited:

I have decided not to attend USN. One more seat has just opened for all of you who are currently waiting. Keep an eye out for 702 area code….Best of Luck!

Is this the time where people usually decide which school they REALLY want to go to?

Congrats again. NV or UT? How many seats are available left from the time you got accepted(if you asked or was told)? Also, what are you stats (GPA, PCAT, ect.)?

Thanks Jew Unit. I chose NV. I didn't ask about the number of seats available but from the way it sounded, there are seats available in both. My stats are as follows:

GPA (last 5 years/academic forgiveness): 3.42
PCAT: 58th
Pharmacy Experience: Some
Undergraduate Degree: Psychology B.A.

Good luck to those who are headed elsewhere. Tim I'm with you, looking for that 702. I don't think I've ever looked forward to seeing any other numbers more.

Haha so true.

702 is currently my favorite three digit number.

Hello folx,

i've been busy with my last classes at my college, but joined facebook group of USN class 2013 today.
I'm glad to follow up what you guys are talking about "702". I guess this thread is one of the most exciting of this cycle.
BTW, due date of deposit is April 15th .
I sent mine last Sun.They got it and cashed it already ,and i got the academic calendar of 2010-2011. It looks busy but still has holidays and breaks here and there on it.

Wish you guys who are waiting best luck for your positive attitude

:xf:

i just thought I would pass along the latest news about USN. They just broke ground today on a Dental school at the Utah campus. http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_14884636

thank you..:D ya good luck to you too and everyone else waiting this is hell!! hopefully since the deadline to accept seems to be tomorrow, maybe next Tuesday most people will get calls.

Hello everyone,

First, I would like to congratulate those who have already accepted to USN and to those who are awaiting for the result.

I believe those, who are accepted, probably are looking for a place close to school. There is a new house for rent in Henderson; it is 2 stories; 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms; all bedroom and 2 bathroom are on the second floor. The house is less than 5.5 miles from school; it approximately 7-12 minutes drive.

If anyone interested, contact me @ huonguyen1@yahoo.com

Heyyy everyone.. im new to SDN just found this thread i interviewed March 30th.. wondering if anyone has received any calls from that interview date?? and by the way congrats to those who have already gotten in :)...

Hey nicole! I interviewed on 3/30 too. Who did u interview with?


No calls yet since tues??? Anybody? Somebody?

Hello all, I got accepted a couple weeks ago, but just now signed up with SDN. :D USN was my first choice, so I dropped my other acceptance at Texas Tech. The energy and enthusiasm of our class seems really good, and I can't wait to meet yall. :thumbup: Any other Texans in USN 2013? Also, if any current P1's or P2's are reading, any suggestions for apartments in Henderson?

Hey nicole! I interviewed on 3/30 too. Who did u interview with?

Hey i interviewed with Metzger, who did you interview with??

did anyone interview with Metzger i want to hear some feedback, i didnt think mine went that well..i was very nervous lol but USN in my first choice so im hoping for a call soon..

I interviewed with Dr. Metzger also. Upon entering the room his arms were crossed and appeared to be in a bad mood. Luckily, by the time I left the interview everyone was laughing and jovial. I just stayed upbeat, confident, and honest. I guess it worked!!

I am encouraged by the quality of people accepted/waiting on this forum. I hope we all start and finish together, helping each other along the way.

Good luck to everyone waiting....

I also interviewed on March 30th and waiting for a call!! :((((

OMG!!!!!!! I got a missed call and voicemail from Dr. DeYoung today around 10:40am Hawaii time.... YES, I live in Hawaii. lol. I got the call while I was working at the pharmacy today. haha.

I tried to call him back, but just went straight to his answering machine. I left a message. Hopefully I'll hear from him tomorrrrrrrowwwww. So excited!!!! :D

BTW, I had the interview on 2/16... so people who interviewed earlier than March... don't lose hope!!! :)

Ooh Texas. If my memory is correct, there is one person in my class who wanted to go home and do her summer IPPE in Texas. Normally that isn't a problem for most people but certain states won't allow you to be an intern until you complete the P1 year. And you don't complete the year until you complete your summer IPPE. So the moral of this story is don't make plans to be home all summer next year.

I think they invite you to join a housing database later in the summer so that should have lots of housing info. Or you could try the Arabella Apartments because they are so close and the apartment manager will be happy if I send people her way.

Normally that isn't a problem for most people but certain states won't allow you to be an intern until you complete the P1 year. And you don't complete the year until you complete your summer IPPE. So the moral of this story is don't make plans to be home all summer next year.

Thanks diastole! Yea, I pretty much count on being in Henderson for 3 straight years, but i'm cool with it. Vegas isn't exactly a boring place to be stuck in while doing IPPE for the summer! Do you know anyone doing the dual degree? Is it worth it? I'm thinking about starting it after my P1 year.

And bcr1652, CONGRATS!!!!:laugh: You definately got in, because Dr. DeYoung doesn't call people to tell them they didn't get in! I look forward to hearing about living in Hawaii :)

OMG!!!!!!! I got a missed call and voicemail from Dr. DeYoung today around 10:40am Hawaii time.... YES, I live in Hawaii. lol. I got the call while I was working at the pharmacy today. haha.

I tried to call him back, but just went straight to his answering machine. I left a message. Hopefully I'll hear from him tomorrrrrrrowwwww. So excited!!!! :D

BTW, I had the interview on 2/16... so people who interviewed earlier than March... don't lose hope!!! :)

Hawaii? I think I know who you are....I think I talked to you before going into the orientation. Early congrats if that call was an acceptance....It's good to see that one of us 2/16ers made it lol.

I just heard some people talking about it yesterday. One person was saying they didn't study in the MBA classes and another was saying that there was a lot of reading. Anyway I don't know if it is worth it or not. It seems like a lot of money on top of already expensive tuition to me.

Yay congrats in advance .. just do me and the rest of us a favor ask how many seats available for us march people lol..

I interviewed with Dr. Metzger also. Upon entering the room his arms were crossed and appeared to be in a bad mood. Luckily, by the time I left the interview everyone was laughing and jovial. I just stayed upbeat, confident, and honest. I guess it worked!!

I am encouraged by the quality of people accepted/waiting on this forum. I hope we all start and finish together, helping each other along the way.

Good luck to everyone waiting....

aww thats awesome congrats, ya he seemed upset at first too, i hope i did ok i mean he wasn't laughing when i left but who knows.. i definitely stayed upbeat and honest so we will see..

Hey i interviewed with Metzger, who did you interview with??

did anyone interview with Metzger i want to hear some feedback, i didnt think mine went that well..i was very nervous lol but USN in my first choice so im hoping for a call soon..

I interviewed with Dr. Dey... He seemed like a nice man. I was the first up in his group of interviewees :scared: so I had a lot of pressure to make a great first impression and set the bar high!!! :eek: I was sooooo nervous!

Congraaats!
Anybody from 3/30 got a call yet?!!

Thanks everybody for the congrats! I'm officially accepted (well, after I submit my tuition deposit and other req'd documents, of course..lol). Will be attending the Nevada campus! :soexcited:

As for the number of seats left: Dr. DeYoung said that he "doesn't know" right now and CANNOT give me a specific answer... mainly because there are people admitted earlier than me who still have yet to decide if they want to attend USN and also have yet to submit their tuition deposit. He would have a better estimate in the last week of April (week of April 26) or sometime after that.

Good luck to those still waiting! I'll be praying for you all. :)

Congratulations!!!!

Any updates?

Hello all, I got accepted a couple weeks ago, but just now signed up with SDN. :D USN was my first choice, so I dropped my other acceptance at Texas Tech. The energy and enthusiasm of our class seems really good, and I can't wait to meet yall. :thumbup: Any other Texans in USN 2013? Also, if any current P1's or P2's are reading, any suggestions for apartments in Henderson?


Congratulations Shaman!. I'm from Texas too. I was wondering y u chose USN over Texas Tech?

Hawaii? I think I know who you are....I think I talked to you before going into the orientation. Early congrats if that call was an acceptance....It's good to see that one of us 2/16ers made it lol.

Oh really?! After looking at your location, I think I do remember meeting someone from Arizona! lol. Hope you and everyone on this thread gets in!

Congratulations Shaman!. I'm from Texas too. I was wondering y u chose USN over Texas Tech?

Thanks! Glad to hear there will be at least one other Texan, although I look forward to hearing and learning about living in lots of other states as well. I really liked Tech, all of the students seemed really happy and the staff seemed amazing. The interview process was ... very unique and actually enjoyable, even though it was 8 hours long. I chose USN for several reasons, one being that my favorite pharmacist and mentor is a graduate from there. The three year program was definately also a reason, because I would've felt like I was wasting 3 months a year every summer at Tech. I rather learn year-round and get my degree a year sooner. The final reason is that I have always been a big city guy, and Amarillo was too small. I spent my first two years of undergrad in a really small Texas town, and hated it. I love living in a big city.

Does anybody know if they are going to make any calls today or not? Is it only Tuesday till Thursdays?!

Ahh. The start of another relaxing, stress free week. Won't be thinking about Usn or a call from 702.
<----- extreme sarcasm :eyebrow:

Oh Yes! Tell me about it!! :confused:

I interviewed March 30th in Henderson. Waiting until May 15th feels like time is moving slowly! Hopefully, word will come in before then.

Anybody with a new status?

Nothing for me :(

Hey guys Dr. Deyoung is out of town this week so there shouldn't be any calls this whole week. Just wanted to give a heads up so you're not all anxiously waiting by your phones

Was the 90% passing score a factor for your decision at all?

Would someone who's currently attending USN please let me know how many hours you study per day and on the weekend? I understand we all study at a a different pace but any information you can share regarding the subject would be really helpful. I've been losing sleep over the 90% passing requirement eventhough I'm not going there yet. Also, exactly how hard are the tests questions since I'm thinking in order to score a 90 or more wouldn't you have to know the material inside out? (not to mention overanalyzing a question and/or making silly mistakes:( ) The majority of schools only require a 70% passing score so do you think the extra pressure at USN is worth getting out a year ealier? And if you could do it again would you still pick USN over other less stressful schools?

Was the 90% passing score a factor for your decision at all?

The 90% passing score was on my "PRO" list for USN. The fact that all USN graduates are straight A students was a really big draw. In my opinion, it is one of the reasons that their NAPLEX passing rate is so high. I'm not worried about it at all, and here's why; If you don't pass the exam on Friday, immediately after taking it, they go over the entire test and why each answer is correct. Then, you have the entire weekend to study your brains out (for the second time), and when you go in Monday morning, the professors review the material again and open the floor to questions (which allows you to clear up anything you're not clear on). The time for questions lasts however long it needs to. Then, you retake the test. I know so much about the system because i've been working directly under a USN graduate for about 3 years. This is a system that is designed for you to succeed.

So they basically give you the answers for the second time around? Sounds like a sweet deal.

I actually like the 90% passing rule too. At the interview I told the panel that I was actually intimidated at first, but I try to focus on the positive aspects of it. Think about it...once you complete the program and you're out there apply for jobs, you can proudly tell your future employer that by hiring you, they can have the peace of mind knowing that they are not hiring an average student. That is because you had to ace every class to pass the program. Talk about having a strategic advantage over the competition! Damn, I should go back to doing PR work! LOL!

The test on Monday is different from the one on Friday. Same material, but different questions.

So they basically give you the answers for the second time around? Sounds like a sweet deal.

The test is completely different, but it's the same material. In order to pull straight A's all the way through pharmacy school, like all USN students do, you do have to know the material in and out. The way the system is set up, any diligent student can learn the material inside and out.

The hours I put in varies depending on the material. The first part of the year was biochemistry and I didn't find it that tough. I think I was putting in 2 to 3 hours a night and next to none on weekends. When we started learning about the drugs, I had to put in more than that because there was a lot of memorization. So I put in 4 to 5 a night and I studied a few hours on the weekend. Now we are doing math type work and I'm totally slacking. I'm taking stretches where I don't study at all for days at a time.
You mostly need to know the material inside out but there are lots of slides that the prof doesn't spend much time on so I'm getting pretty good at learning what to spend more time committing to memory and what to hope for the best on if I happen to see it on an exam.

I don't really stress in school. My outside life has become a bit stressful so school is my one little oasis where I have complete control over how successful I am. I do know that some of my classmates study much more than I do and stress out a lot more. For me, it is worth it and 90% is no big deal. But I imagine if you fail a bunch of Friday exams and have to put in tons of hours that the stress could be a bit much. If you are losing sleep already and you haven't even started yet, I'd consider spending the time before school starts to find relaxation techniques that work for you.

Good info. Thanks. All the students I talked to at the school (and the other schools I interviewed at) made it sound like they do nothing but study. I honestly didn't think it was possible for them to study as much as they were telling me they did. I am planning on an average of 4-5 hours a day, but they were saying that they study like 10 hours every day and some on the weekends.

Thanks for this. This is very helpful. The hours are making me a bit nervous about applying for the next cycle (but if I don't apply I never will know - for all I know the decision will be made for me and I won't get an interview). I'm verrrrry nontraditional (4 kids and husband who *might* travel a lot for work - waiting to find that out when we get to Nellis) and have 4 yrs to get through and finish something. That's 1 to finish prereqs and apply, and 3 to get through the program with no room/time for setbacks. Are you basically in class from 8-3 with a short break or two for lunch, etc...? I have always seemed to need to study a little bit less than people I have befriended in classes so I am hoping I am more like you than the people who say they have to study 6 hours a night. I don't think I would be able to start studying in earnest until after 830 most nights. Getting up at 5 every day doesn't leave a whole lot of room to stay up til 1 or 2 am on a regular basis.

Its nervewracking to know that you are out so much money if you just cannot get through.

I had a dream the other night I was accepted, I started class, and was saying to myself "gee, I really got myself worked up and scared about this for nothing. This is manageable". I had been starting to wonder if I should even apply. I have just under a 3.6 science GPA (but still need to do the OChem sequence) so I guess its worth a shot.

seriously don't say that.. that would suck so bad, but by the looks of it me and a friend from the 30th haven't heard anything and no one else on this thread from the 30th has said anything.. so i can only hope that he isn't done making calls.

I dont think he is done making calls... if so, then there is still the waiting list. I heard that top 50 on the list usually get in. Dr. Deyoung took a vaca probably to avoid numerous calls from well...us lol.;)

Yeah, well he's getting a call from me first thing Monday morning :cool:

Hello, I am a P1 student and I wish congratulation to all who already got accepted in USN, I am sure you are very excited to start your career in this profession. If you are looking for housing arrangement then please let know. I am Indian female and living in house and I am looking for a female roommate. I haven't decide the exact rent but monthly rent would be around $350-$400. If you are interested then PM me. I am a vegetarian so if you are vegetarian then it would be plus. I have two rooms available for rent with reasonable price. My house is furnished in common area with Sofa, TV, VCD/DVD player, Dining Table etc. The rent will include electricity, Gas, Water, Sewer and garbage Disposal service. You will also get free wireless internet for no charge. If you are interested then PM me. :cool:

Yeah, well he's getting a call from me first thing Monday morning :cool:

Let us know EXACTLY what he says lol. He told lots of people to wait till after the 27th... so maybe call him Wednesday?

We are scheduled from 8 to 3 with an hour lunch break and periodic breaks throughout the day. The reality is a bit different though. Lots of days we get out early and some days even before lunch. On the Thursdays before exams, they try to let us get out early because most students skip that day anyway to go study and if they go past lunch, there will maybe be 30 people left.

Depending on how quickly you pick up the material, you might be able to handle not studying until 8:30 if you don't mind staying up late every once in awhile. Our exams typically test for six lectures but only two of them come in the same week as our exam. If you study extra for the other four lectures during your weekends and keep regular study habits, picking up the material for the other two without staying up half the night might not be that hard. I think the trick in your case would be not falling behind.

I would encourage you to at least try. A fair number of parents attend here and some have very young children who need lots of care. If they can do it, why not you?

This sux (bolded area)....I kind of wish it was like they tell you within a month lol...I'm prepping myself to get a rejection letter >_>

I am too... BUT if I get an acceptance... I'm going to crap my pants j/k. But I will be ridiculously happy!! I hope I get word soon so I can drop my physics class if i get accepted (which was a prereq at a school i didnt get accepted to).

Let us know EXACTLY what he says lol. He told lots of people to wait till after the 27th... so maybe call him Wednesday?

He told me to wait after May 15th.
why the ambiguity in his responses to certain students??
It must mean one thing:

If you get a response of April 27th you may be in the accepted group
If you get a response of May 15th you may be in the rejected. or the other way around.

Yeah all he told me was "feel free to contact me if you haven't heard anything towards the end of April". So to me, Monday is "towards the end of April". I will probably email him and if he doesn't reply, I will call on Tuesday. I am getting to the point that I don't care either way. I just want to know if I need to start getting ready to move to Indianapolis to go to Butler.

If you get a response of April 27th you may be in the accepted group
If you get a response of May 15th you may be in the rejected. or the other way around.


It could mean the process is going slower than he expected and he is just playing it safe with the later date.

I'm going to have to go with Diastole's answer on this one. There could of have been a few set backs in the schedule. I thought he was out of town. Also, the poeple who got the response of April 27 did contact him earlier than you (Xanaxation). Also, there is a possibility that we've been wait listed....Xanaxation, when did you contact him?

why dont you guys who got responses of contacting him at end of April tell me when he told you that and I'll dig up my email. I contacted him sometime this month.

I sent him an e-mail on Tuesday 4/6 at 1:10 PM

Email was sent back to me on Tuesday 4/6 at 1:30 PM

"He" responded to me 20 minutes after I sent him an e-mail.

I interviewed also 3/30 and as Nicole said I don't think anyone from that date got any answer yet. I got the phone number from few people on interview date and texted them and they also have nothing! I don't know if they r on this thread or not. Anyways the pharmacist that I work with graduated from USN 2 years ago and she said she didn't hear anything untill end of April and she interviewd in November!! So .... I am trying to stay positive! :)

H folx,

I remember that when i had interview in Feb 2nd. Dr. DY said till May 15th USN probably finalizes the accepted list i.e mailing out all rejection letters (# 400 ).

FYI

We are scheduled from 8 to 3 with an hour lunch break and periodic breaks throughout the day.

*snip*

I think the trick in your case would be not falling behind.

I would encourage you to at least try. A fair number of parents attend here and some have very young children who need lots of care. If they can do it, why not you?

thanks for your feedback. I hate asking those kinds of questions because to me it always sounds more like "how much can I slack - will I be able to party on the weekends" versus what I am really thinking which is "will my kids end up wearing dirty clothes to school and have bad hygiene b/c I forgot to do the laundry and then I end up failing anyway b/c its just too much?" :laugh:

I will never know if I do not apply. So...I guess its PCAT here I come this fall, along with the app to USN.

Thanks.

And good luck to everyone who is still still still waiting for the phone call.

I know, but hey... this is pharmacy school! It's going to be FULL of challenges, but challenges that will help me for the better. To be honest, I was a little hesitant about applying to USN, but I've come to realize this is my dream. I really want to do my very BEST in helping others... not to "slack-off"... but rather to enjoy the ride. And I'm willing to experience that at USN. :)

No, I have not call yet. I wanted to wait untill April27th as Dr De Young said and then call. So at leat I would get a more helpful answer! Good luck everybody! Waiting for the good news next week. :)

ya i didnt want to call too early especially since our interview was so recent and that would seem annoying to call him right after, but i think today and this week should be fine its been almost a month

Has there been any denials yet this cycle??

someone was confused about the April 27th and May 15th dates... The way I understood it at the interview (3-30-10) he said if you re accepted he personally calls by the 27th (I thought he said 2-3 weeks) and then on May 15th the letters get sent out to everyone whether you're accepted, wait-listed, or denied. I sure hope I don't have to wait for the letter. :-)

Seriously? Damn....If we don't get calls by tomorrow, we're pretty much waitlisted or rejected :(. I have a felling that the seats in NV are already taken :(.

Ok well I emailed Dr. Deyoung today and I got the following reply:

"Thank you for your continued interest in the program. I was out of the office last week so I am spending today reviewing the status of the admission cycle. I hope to have a clearer picture of your admission status after this Thursday."

So I guess we will all have to wait a few more days...

Thanx for the update. This sux...I still have 3 more pre-reqs to finish.

Jew Unit, are you getting a Bachelor's at the end of this semester (or quarter)?? Not sure if you can send in your updated transcripts after the term is over, so that would add more points to your total admission score.

Nope. I'm finishing up calc and o chem 2 this semester and A&P II during the first part of the summer.

I'm still pulling for you all. Hang in there guys!

Hang in there lol :)

So...Any status changes? Anybody?

Nope! Nothing here...

Nope nothing here either :(.. good luck everyone waiting..

Just got an email from Dr. DeYound. I am waitlisted in the 100+ so I think I am leaving the West for pharmacy school. I'm just glad I've been accepted at 2 other schools.

same here.. what a bummer :( good luck to you.

I got rejected from USN.

Hang in there guys. You still have a chance if you're wait listed. I heard a lot of people on the wait list got in last year. Just make sure you do well in the current quarter/semester so you can get bumped up.

Where you gonna go?

I got rejected from USN.

I'm sorry to hear that, Shimmery. Though, I was skimming thru the UH Hilo thread and noticed you got accepted over there at least. Congrats! :)

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Well, just got an email. I'm in the top 50 of the wait list. Hopefully I'm at the top!! I got into CU-Denver but I would prefer USN by far. :shrug:

Greetings room!

I got an email earlier. I'm in the wait-list, top 25. I'll pray every day for myself and for everyone here. Good luck to us all!

I just recieved an email too, top 51. Can anyone here explain what it means by top 51 vs. top 50? Could 51 be the rank? thanks

Crap, 100+ list. Looks like Next year :(

I also got wait-list. Good luck for those who continue pharmacy career at other schools and also good luck to those who on the waiting list. For those who didn't make it this year, make sure to re-apply next year and it will be a lot easier.

Also got the email...top 100+. And this was my only hope...Guess I'll be trying again next year. Can I make a personal plea to everyone already accepted somewhere else to go there instead so I have a better chance here? lol :laugh:

I'm waitlisted 51+. He said that about 20% of the people in the 51+ group generally get accepted. Eventually I need to make plans to move to Indianapolis to attend Butler, so I can't wait around all summer.

If your email says top 51+ that means that there are at least 50 people ahead of you. But in reality you could be anywhere from #51 to #100. That is where I am at too.

Damn...Top 50 for me. I guess I'm going to be reapplying next year :(. I still got to deal with A&P II. I will be completing Calc. and (hopefully) O. Chem II. I only applied to the school in Nevada, does that mean top 50 for the school in Nevada or top 50 for both campuses?

I think that if you are in the top 50 then you have a really good shot. I think top 50 means top 50 overall for both campuses.

Top 100 for me as well! :(

Top 50 for me. Good luck everyone. I only applied here, so here's hoping.

Good luck! Did you have all your prereqs in?

Yeah, they were finished in time to apply last year. I just did not do it. top 50 though. It's good to know I wasn't flatout denied, but it sucks to be waitlisted now.

Top 50 isn't bad. I'm pretty sure they got through that whole list last year and went into the 51+ list. Now it is a big game of musical chairs. People will get accepted to their top choices and open up a spot at other schools. Unfortunately, it is going to require more patience.

Patience I can do, not getting in would be horrible.

thanks for giving confidence at this time...im in d top 25:o

if you are in top 50 , it means you have very good chances to get in. not sure that you will get choice for the campus, Last year i was in the same situation, and i got accepted in may end. Don't lose hopes. good luck to everyone.

I'm sorry to those denied and I know how you feel because I was denied last year. :(

To those on the wait list, don't give up hope I'm still pulling for you guys and will be checking in here everyday with hopes to hear of some acceptances. Good luck guys :xf:

Hang in there guys. I got accepted to USN Nevada Campus but most likely to decline my offer since I got accepted somewhere else. So there will be one more seat for those who are waiting.
