Anyone else applying to FAMU? If so has anyone gotten an interview yet?
I applied there, but i didnt get a interview call yet. they told me after feb 1, they take 4-6 weeks to give you the invitations. so i guess only 5 weeks is gone, atleast wait for another week. lolAnyone else applying to FAMU? If so has anyone gotten an interview yet?
LOL. I actually looked at last year thread and noticed some people received their interview letters by the end of Feb, so I was curious.
Thank you for the response and good luck to you as well.
Has anyone received any type of correspondence with FAMU? This is my second year applying. I mailed my application on December 23, 2011. Last year we received a "Thank you for applying" letter first. Then the interview/declination letters were mailed second. My friends interview letter arrived on February 24 last year. Just curious...
Update: I was told that pre-pharmacy students are still being interviewed. As far as the applications, we will hear something within the next 10 business days.
I agree. They also said they had received over 800 applications, and this is not including their pre-pharmacy students. One of the guys from my club was pulled to the side and told he was rejected.thanks for the update, they are still the slowest school out of any i know of.

Yes. We were asked who had submitted their applications to attend FAMU. They wrote down our names and went to check the status of each. They pull each of us to the side through out the tour and gave us an update. His application wasn't complete because he didn't submit the online application to the undergraduate school.They told him that he was rejected on a school field trip? That's horrible! I guess we should be hearing something soon! Thanks for the updates!!!! Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
We were told that there are 150 seats to be filled. I guess if I can offer you some hope, some of my friends with great GPAs are just applying there as a backup. They said if they get accepted in Ga they will stay here. So hopefully others feel the same way that has higher GPAs. Then you know some will be ruled out because they didn't complete their applications. If you get an interview just impress them as much as you can...how many students (besides their own) are they accepting? does anyone know?
I'm also waiting on the response from them But if you say they received so many applications then I am not putting too much hope into it my gpa isnt the greatest
My GPA wasn't the greatest either. Guess we are in the same boat....

thats nice. good luck!Mine isn't that great either, but i got into the two schools i interviewed at and rejected 3 interviews since i didnt need to go. Famu would just be cheaper and i wouldnt have to relocate.
If you dont mind would you share your gpa? Mine is 2.67 when I got my BA in 2008 and now I am retaking a lot of science classes and getting A's but could only get it to 2.9 so far

should we expect a call or a letter for an interview? does anyone know? has anyone heard from them yet?
I have a 3.57 overall GPA and science GPA is like 3.72, i applied to famu but no response yet. i am so tired of waiting.
all the schools i looked up have already given a response to students .....You should get a letter in the mail and they are going to start sending out letters next week and interviews would follow the next week and everyone should get a letter before the end of March.
Did you call them and is that what they told you?
They have not started sending out letters. They are going to start next week. Be patient and goodluck.
I dont think they will call me, because they said i did not submit my transcript, but i have send them 6 copies already to undergrad as well as pharmacy departmen, and if thats the case, i will sue the post office, i have every reciept, i have called them, they never pick up. i am so frustrated. i have done everything they wanted, now they say to send them transcript again and i m not going to do it, lets see what they do.

Not entirely true. A few of my friends hand delivered their packages WITH their transcripts to the pharmacy department and it was fine. I think as long as it has the seal in the background of the transcript and the seal across the envelope it will be fine.Waiit did u send ur transcript youurself ? Cause it had to bee sent directly from your school. And another thing is they don't accept electroniic transcripts. So you have to make sure the school sends them paper form.

If I was you I will resend it. If you live close by the school ask will it be ok if you can bring it in yourself. If they say it's ok then request the transcripts from your school/s, and take them yourself. That way you know it is in their hands.
Forget it, I dont know why they r so slow. plus, their attitude is very bad. i called them and they keep sending me to one executive to another, and no one picks up the phone, pathetic, i try to tell them my problem, they told me call the help desk, then they say click this and that, i follow that but still they dont change it. i dont feel like calling them anymore.
^^^^LOL in other words the wait continues. I guess I will start looking at post bac schools.

Dont just give up so soon. Are you trying to call college of pharmacy or famu admission office because i can give you a direct number to call and do you stay in Tallahassee?

Finally, did they just go out today or ?
