This is University of Florida application thread for 2011-2012 cycle. (Entering class year of 2012 = graduating class of 2016)
U of F is my top choice

Mine too! Have you submit your PharmCAS application yet? I'm almost done with my personal statement. Do you know if we can start our supplemental before our actual PharmCAS is sent in?
This is so exciting! Which campus are you applying to? Orlando is my first choice.
I ended up researching it and we CAN start the other parts of UF application without submitting PharmCAS first. This way we don't have to wait on our letter writers The application to apply to UF professional schools opens August 8th (I thinkkk) but the supplemental for pharmacy school is already available here: http://copnt13.cop.ufl.edu/ned/formgen/ppe12.htm
Good luck with the rest of your app! Yayy!
For PharmCAS Pharmacy Designations, what did you all select or are going to select? Are we supposed to select all four of the campuses? Or just the ones we wouldn't mind attending?
So, do you guys think the ''out of state'' title in my application deteriorates alot from the rest? I also really don't want to retake the PCAT although I read that they consider 85+ for out of state. I plan on applying SUPER early so like that my application can be one of the first that is reviewed (late August). I know that its really expensive for us out-of-staters (~40k/yr) but 1-it's top 10, so it'd be a great investment and 2-it's FLORIDA! duh! haha

Also one more thing..on the application itself it said to explain any misconduct that caused probation, etc and I've never had any of that happen but I actually did end up having my license suspended for six months because of two VERY stupid (speeding, yielding) tickets before the age of 18. It's not like I was committing crimes or robbing banks or anything so even though I have to tell them that it shouldn't be too much a problem, right?
What's the character limit on those essay questions? And about how long do you guys make each one of them?
thank you!On the supplemental essays, they limit you to 150 words instead of characters. It ends up being a decently sized paragraph, maybe 5 sentences.
Hi! I'm also applying to UF as my top choice school. I live in Tampa, so I really want to go to the St Pete campus, because I wont have to move and plus its UF!!!
How did everyone do on their PCATs? I took the July 27th exam and got a 95 composite. Do you know if the preliminary score they gave you at the testing center will be different than the official score (besides having the writing score)? I keep having nightmares that there was some big mistake....
Where did everyone go for undergrad? I went to Georgia State for my bachelors and then did my pre-req's at USF. I know USF's pharm program starts next fall but I cant stand that school....
I wish everyone good luck! Hopefully we'll all be sporting UF COP gear this time next year!!
Just talked with a Pearson rep on the phone. I asked her about the preliminary scores and whether or not they were a good representation of the actual scores. She said it would be "a very,very, rare circumstance that the preliminary score would be anything different than the final score" and that "frankly, the preliminary score is your final score".
So there you have it folks!
Found this in the PCAT discussion thread
Great job with your score
UF Orlando Campus is my top choice, and I have everything submitted! How many different schools is everyone applying to? I have a 3.54 science gpa, 3.7 overall, and 93 PCAT, so based on people I know that are in UF's program, I think I have a good shot, but of course I want backups, I just don't know how many to apply to..

Woot
Huh, i thought owl's go Hoot..
Ok, I think I am going to apply to LECOM and NOVA, possibly FAMU. I'm also re-applying to South University in GA, since they did accept me last year, but I didn't go (long story). Unfortunately I was unaware that some schools require biochem as a prereq, and I haven't taken that, so I don't think I can apply to USF or Palm Beach.I have very similar stat (3.7 cumulative, 3.5 science, 92 PCAT) and my top choice is UF too! (Gainesville campus though) Are you Florida resident? How about applying to NOVA, LECOM, Palm Beach, USF and maybe FAMU?
Hey guys I applied to UF and my pharmcas is already submitted. I just looked at the link for the UF supplemental and wow that is a lot of essays!!!!!
Hi everyone, I'm brand new here, I thought I'd post my scores from yesterday, I'm a little disappointed I didn't reach an 80 but did well in the Biology and Chemistry sections, do pharmacy schools (like UF) look at those individual scores a little?
VA 416/73
Bio 425/84
RC 411/63
QA 402/45
Chem 434/88
Composite: 77
I'm a UF preprofessional biology major and have about a 3.15 science GPA, 3.3 overall, but I am a pharmacy volunteer, a TA, and am involved with my pre-pharmacy club, and have one letter of rec from an anatomy professor I got an A with and one from my supervisor at the hospital pharmacy I volunteer at (Shands) who is a certified pharmacy technician. Does anyone think my record is good enough for getting into UF and/or USF? I didn't think it would be much help to retake the PCAT again, last year my composite was a 67, so I'm happy I improved (also, do we have the same PCAT CID from a year ago if I took it last October, and if PharmCAS keeps those scores and sends them to the schools? I don't know if that were true and if that would help or hinder my application). Thanks, I was hoping to get an 80 but I wasn't too far off, but still I'm a little intimidated by everyone's higher GPAs and PCATs, but UF is number one on my list too!
Hi All!
For anyone who is interested, open house for each campus is coming up soon. Most are in the month of October. I highly recommend attending an open house at either of the campuses because it gives you a good insight into what the program is like! I am a current 1PD at the Orlando campus and our open house is October 13 You can go to the UF COP for more details. Come out and join us! Good luck with the applications.
does UF send any email in regards to them recieving any of the application pieces?
Hey Guys!
Okay so I turned in every part of my application and UF received it about 2 weeks ago..
I called UF admissions and she told me the status of my application was "committee is currently in process of reviewing"
I thought they didn't look at them until November :/? So turn in your apps if they are looking at them already and I'll post something if I happen to hear anything back this month!
Congrats!! That's great news for you, it seems that they admit the majority of the candidates they interview. GOOD LUCK!!Received an interview for DECEMBER!!!!!
