I'm applying with a 60 PCAT & GPA 3.42 with experience in pharmacy and shadowing, volunteer, president of science club, ambassador at college.
i'm doing 2 years, so no bachelors.

what about you?

Totally agree...all the waiting is giving me anxiety!
 
I got an email from them that says they will probably start interviews in November or December. 3.3 GPA and 74 PCAT. Any one else?
 
Also got an email from Roosevelt this morning stating to look out for an email from them since they are still looking at possible dates for November and December.
 
oh wow, i didn't receive any email but my application is complete... before they kept sending me an email saying to complete my app and pay when i was in the process of completing their supplemental app. now no email. hmm
 
Just got an interview for November 4th!! Anyone else??!
 
yes me too! just checked my email little late

For the additional information section, did you guys just list your extracurriculars, volunteer experience, and work experience. Or did you write a description about them in the space as well?
 
How long after you submitted all your stuff did you get the interview invite?
 
Good luck to those who have interviews coming up and if you had one already hope it went well!
 
I will be submitting my Supplemental this week. Hopefully I will have an interview opportunity.

I think I know who you are, but so far yes I will be attending, but that depends on the status of the other schools that I still have to interview at. You?

I also have been accepted to another school that is closer to home but I really like this school too. I am still going to decide, have a tough choice to make!

Is there a facebook page for this 2015 class?

I have some questions if you don't mind answering:

1. How was the overall vibe of the interview?
2. Was there anything specific or out of the ordinary?
3. Was there a writing sample?
4. How many people were interviewing you and how many at a time?
5. What kind of questions were asked?

I would be eternally grateful if you can answer my questions. I don't know anything on how the school conducts their interview. Thank you very much!

1. Very relaxed
2. Nothing out of the ordinary, just make sure you research the changing role of the pharmacist and how the profession is changing
3. Writing sample was an article given to us and we have to write a response on it, whether or not we agree with it and why.
4. One faculty member interviewing us one at a time
5. Questions were pretty straightforward, why pharmacy/why Roosevelt etc

I am very grateful to you. I'm sorry but there are a couple of questions I forgot to ask you.

1. Was this a blind interview? Meaning that did the interviewer know nothing about you prior to the interview?

2. Were you asked any ethical questions?

Again, I would be very grateful if you would give your input.

Let me guess, you're from the OC. I'm from Westminster. Wanna carpool or help each other save money in the process? If not, its totally understandable.

It was closed file interview so they didn't have your info out and I didn't encounter any ethical questions.

I'll be declining my acceptance here so hopefully it will give someone else a chance. Good luck everyone

Again, thank you very much for your help. Interviews are kind of my weak point and I'm doing everything I can to prepare. Good luck to you and your endeavors. I wish you well.
 
How long did it take any of you to receive an interview invitation after they received your application?

I'm close by in Cerritos! I'll be staying with a friend while I'm there, otherwise I would have carpooled with you! Good luck!! :)

Without being a boasting prick, it took about a week and half. I submitted the PharmCAS and supplemental applications in early January. Here are my stats if you are interested.

Degree: BS: Cell and Developmental Biology
GPA: 3.29 (I like to think it's 3.3 :D)
PCAT: ~50%
Volunteer Experience: Clinical Pharmacy ( 2006-2011)
EC: Vietnamese Student Association (2004-2009)

I'm not the best applicant, but I make it up in some areas. Hopefully, this helps you.

Thank you VERY much for replying AND posting your stats! :) I was really curious about average stats but was a bit shy to ask. Thanks for all your help!
