I got an email that said they could not offer me acceptance at this time, but were not saying no yet.
Oh I see. I just got that evalue thing and nothing besides that.

I got the evalue thing, then a couple hours later got the acceptance email. I saw someone say they were not going to take their offer, and I am probably not taking mine. So watch your email!
Chinita009, I had to do an OPI as well. The lady on the phone was very nice and all you have to do is carry out a conversation as you normally would on the phone. They just want to assess your speaking ability, so the content doesn't matter (but of course don't leave the wrong impression by saying something extremely outlandish). You don't have to prepare anything for it. It was actually pretty fun for me because we both got to know each other and had a great conversation. And if you were wondering, I have been accepted into the school.
I got interviewed at the end of November and got an acceptance offer 6 weeks later. I think they do a few interview dates before sending out each batch of acceptances, so it all depends on how many interview dates have passed since you did yours.Hi riri3435,
May I ask how long after your interview you got accepted? I'm assuming you did both the OPI and the in-person interview?
I think it would be just potential applicants. I did my OPI too and I got an interview invite the very next day. They're just trying to see if you can speak good enough English (only if you put on the application that English was not your first language).Does anyone know if they only do OPI's to potential interview candidates or most applicants? The day after my OPI, I got my interview invitation.

The whole day was pretty fun and well organized. It was by far the most organized interview date I have had. They give you lots of information about the school at the start of the day, then you do a tour of the school, then you either do your writing portion (they provide a computer for that) or your interview. Then you do the group activity which is more fun than stressful. The interview itself is very conversational. It is closed file so make sure to bring up the things that make you stand out. You will interview with 1 or 2 faculty members or current pharmacists/alumni. They do evaluate you on the group exercise but I don't think it's a big factor in decisions. They are just trying to see if you can work well with others since they want their students to collaborate at school. Check out the interview feedback section on here for sample questions and such, I found it very helpful. Don't stress out, it really is one of the best interview programs I have attended so far, and I've been to many lolMay I ask how was their interview process? Pretty relaxed, open/closed file? Do they evaluate you on the group exercise? (I'm a bit nervous about this). Thanks.

I really loved Colorado. But I just did my interview at University of Washington and I really loved that school too. So I'm torn now. I haven't heard from UW yet, so I guess I was just gonna wait until I had heard from all of my schools first. I am more than willing to move away from San Diego, so no, distance is not a factor. Tuition might be though, I haven't quite looked into it yet because it won't matter for me; I have to wait until later this year to see where my husband gets in grad school and we will be making our decisions thenThanks! You've interviewed a lot of schools. May I ask what's your #1 school and do you consider distance and tuition as big factors in your decision?

Relax and be yourself! The OPI is very conversational. The actual interview day is very informative and fun. Look over the interview feedback section for sample questions for the interview. Good luck!I have my OPI interview tomorrow! Any tips/advice? This is the first school I heard back from, so I'm pretty excited!
I was accepted two weeks after my interview on campus.Hi riri3435,
May I ask how long after your interview you got accepted? I'm assuming you did both the OPI and the in-person interview?
Made this account today and I wanted to say hello! I got accepted to UC on 2/12 and my interview was on 1/18. Longest wait of my life but totally worth it! SO EXCITED!
Hello everyone! Congratulations to all who have received their acceptances!
I've perused the previous pages and am astonished that the interview process has been going on since October. I had my OPI interview on 01/22/13 and received a invitation on 01/25/13. I am interviewing on 02/22/13 and was wondering if there were any fellow interviewers out there! I've booked by flight tickets and am incredibly nervous and excited.
If anyone has any helpful and friendly tips, I would love to know! I hope to get in contact with the 02/22 interviewers!
I got that evalue site link, then later got an acceptance email. I was wait listed also.
How do you know you were wait listed??
I answered that a couple posts ago. Got an email that said they could not offer me acceptance at the time, but it was not a no yet.
Ok thanks. I feel like calling them cuz I wanna know where my application is but I don't want them to deny my because of it.
I think we've all felt what your feeling now.. the wait to hear back is frustrating! But I didn't get my acceptance email till like 5 weeks after my interview.. so I'm sure you'll hear back any day now.. seems like they send out decisions on Fridays.. Best of luck to yah! Hopefully I'll be seeing yah in the fall! ;]Ok thanks. I feel like calling them cuz I wanna know where my application is but I don't want them to deny my because of it.

Finally got accepted! It took a month for them to get back to me. Very excited.
When did you have your interview? And if you don't mind sharing what were your stats?
If you don't mind sharing, what were your stats and how did you feel after your interivew?
You received an acceptance email 2 hours after your interview with Temple U? Wow, that is amazing..! Which goes to show that you must have impressive stats. ;] I also interviewed with LECOM-B and was accepted 3 days later.. so waiting 5 weeks for CU was torturous!.Thanks! I might see you in the fall I'm trying to be patient but its hard. Especially since I got my acceptance email from Temple U literally 2 hours after the interview ended. And seeing as how my top two schools are Temple and CU I'm trying to wait to make the best decision but I know I'm gonna have a hard time choosing.
I think I have finally decided on Colorado, the stress from waiting for Michigan is too much, and I figure they only have a few spots left. Also, the deadline for my response is Tuesday, and I absolutely loved Colorado the most out of all my interviews. $1000 deposit is so much though ahh...

But on the bright side.. at least you were accepted to one of your top choices, did you put down your deposit for Temple U?
