Hi! Is anyone else interviewing on October 3rd?

I am! I still need to look up how their interview process is so I'm mentally prepared

 

[Puzzles4]

got invited for an interview on the 10/24, any advice from the 10/3 interviewees? thanks!

FYI: you can't get federal loans for this school. All loans are private so you can't do income based repayment (IBR) or PAYE. Financial disaster.

meaning that if u can't land a job after graduating it will be a financial disaster since the monthly payments on ur loans are set from the start? please more details BMB thanks!

Hi guys,
I just got an invitation for interview from Northstate on october 24, I am wondering if you guys can give me some information about their questions and essay topics? Thanks

 

[BMBiology]

^ it means even if you are able to find a job after graduation, you are still screwed. There is no way for you to pay that much money back on a pharmacist salary. These are private loans and therefore, you can't get on IBR or PAYE. There is no backup plan. There is no grace period. If you ever fall behind, your credit score is tanked and you can't never buy a house.

Calculate how much you would make as a pharmacist (after taxes) then calculate how much you would need to borrow and how much you would need to pay per month for 10 years. You would then realize you are screwed and you can't afford to pay it off even if you are a successful pharmacist. This school is a for profit school. They only care about making money even if it is at the expense of your future. You are no longer a kid. Decisions have consequences. It is financial suicide if you go to this school...just do the math.

It was a long day and I heard they have new interview system this year so they are still trying it out. The interview itself is pretty chill so don't be nervous. They asked quite a bit of questions and be sure to practice some situational questions.

 

[MissCuttey]

Did you guys receive the email from Jason regarding the acceptance, he said they will send it Thursday but I don't have anything yet!!

Me neither. Although I did receive a request for a background check saying I was conditionally accepted to a school.

I thought they were gonna break us up on teams and assign each one a topic...
Yay! Can't wait to meet everyone that day

You mean each team has 1 one topic? No i think we gonna have the same topic thou

 

[californiabear_102]

Does anyone know the format of the interview? In the sample schedule that was emailed for the TBL activity for 11/21 it said there would be "Individual Interview Activities" then rotation to either "Interview, Tour, Q&A." So essentially we are interviewing two times?

No, i think they will split us up into 2 group. While the first group has interview, the second group will do campus tour, then the next round is TBL and lastly group 1 has campus tour while group 2 do interview

Thank you! Would you happen to know if the interview format is panel (3 people) per each individual or does each group interview with a panel in a group interview?

 

[1110011001]

Panel. You will be interviewed individually by a student and a professor.

 

[ashleele]

Are u guys ready? Lets get together tmr

 

[amazinglycrazy]

Got an interview for 12/19 but am declining.

 

[socalgrl]

[ashleele]

I got interview on 11/21. Havent received any call yet. I think Jason said it takes 3 weeks after interview for result

 

[futurepharm813]

I submitted my application yesterday and received an invitation today for 12/19, however, I had to reschedule for 01/30 Did anyone else get an interview invitation that fast?! And will anyone be at that interview?

 

[MT152]

Are people still going to attend this school even when they aren't allowed federal loans? I have an interview but I've rescheduled it twice now because of lab practicals and I'm wondering if I should even go now. The loan thing has always deterred me :/

I am really worried about that as well! I already took out 20K in loans and I'm from Florida! So out of state tuition is gonna be ridiculous!

 

[ashleele]

This school is working on their application for federal loans. They are waiting for the result and during this time they only offer private loans. Hope they get approved soon

Yeah, it deterred me too, I declined their interview. I am a CA resident but since it is so expensive and unranked, I found a better deal elsewhere with other top 10 ranked public/state schools. Private loans are a no-go for me, totally understand your dilemma.
