Hi-how were you notified for an interview? I ask you because your application received date is the same as mine (March 18th).
They took you off the waitlist right?Congratulation! I just got the acceptance too. So excited. I interviewed on 03/15.
I received by an Email, which is titled with "Invitation to Interview ~ Doctor of Pharmacy at PCOM - GA Campus:".
Yeah, I was on the waiting list. I think I'm lucky.They took you off the waitlist right?
Hope I get off!Yeah, I was on the waiting list. I think I'm lucky.
Thanks! Hope I hear from them soon. ..

I got invited to a may 8th interview...think I'm gonna go cause I'm curious about their trimester program...I replied to the email but haven't received any instructions yet..hopefully I'll receive it tomorrow. Did anyone else get instructions about the interview?
No they have not created a facebook page for our class yet. At least I haven't found one yet and I've searched all over.Hey Guys! So I'm new to the forum and I was just wondering is there a Facebook group specific to Ga-PCOM Pharmacy Class of 2018. I see they have a D.O. group created but not one for the Pharmacy class. Do we just join the D.O. one or will they make a separate one eventually?
But to answer some of the questions on here already.....
The questions they asked were really straight forward questions and the atmosphere was extremely laid back. You'll see what I mean when you go to interview. The questions were like "why pharmacy, weaknesses, strengths, where would you be a pharmacist after graduating (PCOM's website said they want to make impoverished areas in GA better by increasing healthcare in those areas, so be mindful of your answer, I said i would stay they don't hold you to it but just a heads up), what are your hobbies, what would someone else say about you" very basic things like that. Make sure you have questions lined up the 2 professors will appreciate the questions.
The essay questions are basically A-E and they are in a pile and you can get any one of the questions. The immunizations is one, mine was about whether seatbelt regulation should be enforced by the government, another girls was about health insurance. To be honest when we talked to the lady that was administering the essay she said that the essays aren't based on right and wrong, just to double check if you can read and write English and convey a thought across on paper. (Apparently, people don't write their own personal statements haha)
If anyone else has any more questions, I would be happy to help out!

Hi, I was interviewed on 03/15 and accepted on 04/24. Questions on my interview were like: tell me about yourself, what do you do other than studying and family stuff, situational questions like if im the leader of a group and there is 2 options, what would i do.
about the essay question, mine was about health insurance for healthy person is cheaper and they should get promotion for being healthy, what do you think on that?
hope it help.

Are you flying in from a different state? If so, do u know which is a good hotel to stay near the campus?
I was thinking about doing that but couldnt think of anything.Did any of you on the waitlist do anything to get off the waitlist -- such as, send a letter of interest or update or email -- or did you just wait? Thanks.
No I didn't I just waited it out and kind of forgot about it then a package showed up lolDid any of you on the waitlist do anything to get off the waitlist -- such as, send a letter of interest or update or email -- or did you just wait? Thanks.
I didn't because they asked not to contact the admissions office.Did any of you on the waitlist do anything to get off the waitlist -- such as, send a letter of interest or update or email -- or did you just wait? Thanks.
No they have not created a facebook page for our class yet. At least I haven't found one yet and I've searched all over.
I over nighted mine and it took about 4 days to get a response.Thanks! Yea I looked everywhere. I even tried looking for another thread if someone made another by mistake.
So I sent my deposit in on wednesday after how long did you guys get your confirmation email? Just wondering if I should call them or not.

Why are you so worried about the waitlist and who is/isn't being accepted?? I don't advice any interviewees ask about the waitlist as it makes you appear as though you are anticipating being placed on said waitlist. Future interviewees go in there like you've already been accepted and own it, don't make yourself appear weak and report back useless information that won't aid in your acceptance.Whoever is interviewing 2morrow Good Luck to you~
Also if possible ask them questions about the waitlist, because at this late time, you are most likely get the waitlist seat unless your application is extremely strong. Ask them how many waitlist are there and how many got in last year and please share with us.
I wonder why they don't reveal the waitlist rank..

"According to the pharmcas SOP description, they will interview 576 students for 2014 SOP....
I guess there are more than 1500+ students who applied to this school...
Anyone has information about this?? Especially the waitlist. I wonder if they actually reject people T_T" -April 30 via koryon
Are you also implying that the school will just accept anyone?? When you are asked for an interview it is because you show potential as a pharmacy student on paper and they would like to see you in person. When I interviewed with 34 other candidates I imagine that myself and maybe 6 or 7 others were accepted right away and everyone else who already proved a worthy candidate (as they were invited to interview) was placed on a list to be used when "committed" students either heard back from other schools they preferred and informed PCOM or didn't pay their fees and more places opened up.
not sure if you remember your waitlist email but the list is not ranked. This means your position is just as good as someone else's or if your a glass half empty type of guy, just as bad. Being frustrated is justified but pointless because it's only going to make the wait that much longer. Just have faith that you will be pulled off. cheers!Um.. don't take it personally. If you are in the position of waitlist, you will worry about it at least I am..
Also what I meant about asking waitlist questions was to coordinators or p1 students since you do get lots of killing time while waiting for the interview or even after writing the paper. I guess I was not clear about it. However you are right about the interviewees, they shouldn't worry about the being in waitlist when you are there.
And lol.. I mentioned those numbers because PCOM do interview many students and I wanted to find out where I am from the waitlist.
You seriously take a big deal out of it from the frustration I have -_-;;
I would like to think that they take people off the waitlist in the order at which they interview. I understand the worry of not knowing though!Whoever is interviewing 2morrow Good Luck to you~

You have to be invited to it and some of us has not been invited to it yet either so I'd email them about it and see what they say.not sure if this has been asked yet but does anyone know the link to the Facebook group for accepted students? i tried searching and didn't come up with anything :/ do you have to be invited to join?
You have to be invited to it and some of is has not been invited to it yet either so I'd email them about it and see what they say.
When do they get done with interviews?
You email Pitts the coordinator.Who do we email exactly? I searched the fb group and it seems like they haven't made one yet. Maybe they are waiting for the interviews to be over?
Here's a question for the accepted students, my welcome packet was mailed yesterday and I know some old students said they have housing information in the packet but I'm trying to figure out the best way of going about finding roommates or cheap one bedroom apartments. Any suggestions?
You email Pitts the coordinator.
Best place to find roommates is through nucleus group page or the facebook page once your added. I actually found one through here so that's an option as well. As far as apartments go you just have to search.
