Weird that nobody on here got an early acceptance.
One week since the 1st interview has passed. I suppose all the early acceptances are sent by now.
I got a question for the P1 to P3 students.
How many hours on average can a pharmacy student dedicate toward working to pay bills? How is the Las Vegas/Henderson job market for young inexperienced student jobs?

It's still early though so they may not have the initial early acceptances out yet. It'll probably take another week or two. I know Dr. DeYoung is busy setting up the future interview dates. Are there anymore interviews in 2011? I know there are a handful of interview dates in January, February and March 2012 coming up.

By US mail?
I can only dream of being accepted early or accepted at all lol... i'm assuming those that do get accepted early probably have a 4.0 GPA + extremely good interview. The wait and anticipation is killing me knowing the fact it may take until Spring to hear back from the school
I totally agree with you. It's only been a week and a half since the Nov. 7th interview but it seems like forever. I know that Dr. DeYoung is busy, but I wonder if he has his list of offers already ?? The point system is quite straight forward in terms of the how much points are dedicated to each performance. I was told that the point system for the interview is a "make or break" scenario where the professor/student will either give a high score or a low score rather an in the middle or average because it will be difficult to draw the line in terms of offering acceptance when cases where PCATs & GPAs between applicants are too close. That's why the interview is so important. (would like to get pharmacy student confirmation on this, thanks)

App is finally in! Hope to get a January interview
I was offered an interview a few weeks ago and opted to interview at the Utah campus. I was worried that the decision may have affected my chances, but the tone of the conversation seems to imply that my worries a bit unnecessary.
Anyone else schedule to interview in Utah??
I was worried that turning down the option to interview on an earlier date at the Nevada campus would affect my chances.
My concern was based on the date of the interview rather than the location. I should have chosen my words (and then proofread them) a bit more carefully!
Freshnewkicks- good luck! Hope you get one, and try not to be too nervous because they do a really good job of explaining the school and how it works and they try to help you see clearly if Roseman is a good fit for your style of learning. I met lots of people who helped interviews on Nov 7th be a really positive experience.
I turned in my application like Sept 9th and still haven't heard anything yet Anyways, how was your interview in Midwestern in IL?
Thanks! I really hope to get an interview. I dont doubt that it will be a great experience.Good luck to you!
Yikes! I knew I was getting my app in late but I guess I just have to wait it out. Midwestern wasnt too bad although the weather started to get kinda bad. I wont be hearing from them for another couple weeks. Btw do you have all your transcripts in? That may have to do with why you havent heard anything. I hope they have all of mine!
Don't they give a lot of interviews out?
That's a lot of interviews given out for the available spots. I always thought that the chance gets better once you receive an offer for interview, but apparently it's not that much better. The mountain is still quite high to climb. Good luck to all!
There's like 250 spots between both schools.
I know there will be two interview dates in January. Are there more interviews for February and March? With the average of about 100 students per session, that will be 300+ applicants so far excluding the interview months after January. What is an interviewed applicant's chance when comparing to other pharmacy schools? Generally, do pharmacy schools offer this many interviews?

Do they send you an email if you aren't invited for interview?
Either that or a letter in the mail. They still invite people out for interviews up untill a few weeks before the last interview date. If someone cancels their interview, Dr. DeYoung will quickly try to find a replacement. We plan on conducting 600+ interviews this year.
Interviews could be sent by mail...? For my mailing address, I put my future apartment, not my current apartment (I'm moving to a different apartment in January). What should I do?
As far as interview offer goes, i received mine through an email from dr. Deyoung. Still a lot of interviews left to go!

Interviews are requested by email or phone but rejections are done either by email or snail mail. Sorry for the confusion. Honestly though, I haven't heard of people getting letters in the mail. Email is just so much faster.
Hey did you interview on November 7th?
Yes, I did good luck to you.
Is your name Nan?
Nope, you're from Vegas? If you are, what do you think of the job market there for us? I hear the real estate market is the worse hit. Condos for sale are super cheap
I believe the job market here is getting saturated.. However, that is just my opinion though. The growth of Vegas has slowed dramatically over these few years. However, that could be almost said for every city in the U.S due to the economic downturn.
Yes, the real estate market got hit pretty hard. Good time to buy! Same can be said for condos. A lot of people are swooping those condos up paying with cash.
PM me if you have any more Vegas questions. I'll be glad to tell you more
Thanks a bunch, buddy. I wonder of the newly pharm graduates how many are staying to work in Nevada if there are jobs. I also hear a lot about emphasizing the importance of an interview being weigh heavily then would a slight under-par PCAT score hurts a candidate if other scores are above mediocre?
Has anyone receive any news from the school yet?
