I got an interview for Dec 1st! So excited!
Congrats!

Congratulations olivelaughlove!
Could you possibly post your stats so the rest of us can see where we stand in getting an early interview invite!?
Sure I'm in my first semester of being a Sophmore (I'm 19) so I was quite surprised when I received an interview. I did the UF requirements; I am currently in Orgo 2 and Physiology. And will do Physics 1 in Spring and Physics 2 the first 6 weeks of summer.
PCAT taken once July 2011: 88
Pharmcas Science GPA: 3.57
Pharmcas Non Science GPA: 4.0
Pharmcas Math GPS: 3.53
I work in a pharmacy and did tons of volunteer work. I also had my app in full to them by 9.3.0.11..so they only took 10 days to review it, super quick!
Good luck to everybody! Ah SOOOO Excited! I only applied to UF so this was an all or nothing deal so thankful!
wow with those stats you are sure to get in! And you're going to be so young when you graduate! Congratulations, there is no doubt in my mind that you'll get accepted...and the reason I got everything done in a year is because I did most of my A.A in high school through dual enrollment. Just wanted to add that in case of any confusion...

I got an invite on thursday for dec.1. My assigned location is the gainesville campus (top choice). Can't wait!
which campus?
g8torgrl00: do u currently go to UF?
To people who went to the open house: how was it? What do they cover? Did you find it helpful?
I already RSVP'ed for Gainesville open house this Sunday (10/23) but something came up last minute and I might have to go out of town... Any comments would be helpful
I went to the one in Orlando and although it was my 3rd year going (and hearing roughly the same information) I still found it helpful. If you haven't discovered it on their website, the average science gpa for the admitted fall 2011 class was a 3.44 and the average PCAT was an 83 composite. My favorite part about open house is when they bring a panel of current pharmacy students for Q & A. I find that most useful. If you have any specific questions about what they covered in the open house you can PM me, hope this helps
Interviewing in Gville on December 1st, top choice Orlando woop woop!

Well, I haven't finished sending my applications yet since I'm waiting for my PCAT score from Sept 19, so I probably won't get the interview at Dec. 1st (if I even get accepted :/). My 1st choice is st. pete, then gainesville, then orlando, and then jacksonville.
Re: interview invites
For those who haven't heard back yet....
I just turned all of my materials in within the past week. I emailed admissions yesterday to make sure I wasnt missing anything and got a response today, telling me that the committee meets on Thursdays to review applications and that I will be hearing back from them at the end of the week. Seems like they are moving quickly... although the next few days are going to be absolute torture!! Hopefully, Ill be in Gville on Dec 1st with yall!

Who did you e-mail? My advisor told me to send an e-mail to Mary Beth Yokomi. I still haven't heard back from her and it has almost been a week.
Also based on what admissions told you, does that mean you'll be hearing back by the end of this week either you got accepted or not?
I'm also curious who I should e-mail regarding the status of my application.
Ya, I did email Ms. Yokomi..... I dont know exactly what she meant by saying that I would hear back at the end of the week-- probably a 'sorry, thanks for applying" or an interview invite (hopefully the latter, because I didnt apply anywhere else!!!).
Just trying to stay busy.... I think I'll paint the kitchen, haha
Hey everyone, sounds like things are going faster with applications lately...However, I'm still waiting on a letter of rec from the pharmacy tech I work/volunteer with at Shands, and it's been a month now and I keep asking and she keeps promising but nothing yet. I'm getting so annoyed that this is the last thing I'm waiting on (I'm trying to make the deadline for USF on December 1st as well, not just an early submission to UF!). So, I'm asking one person tomorrow that I think will do it instead, does anyone know how long it takes for the eLORs to show up on PharmCAS from the time that the references submit our letters? I'm curious in case this tech did submit it but it's taking a while to show up (I asked her this Monday and told her the situation that I'm applying at the end of this week to make the "mailing day" next Monday). Also, and importantly, is it ok to submit the PharmCAS while waiting for an eLOR? I read it's ok somewhere here, but I'm terrified to do that and want to try to get everything in before I resort to that (in case for instance this woman pulls out for some strange reason, I have no idea why it's taking so long, she knows me very well for over a year ). Anyway, any thoughts on what best to do? Hopefully the one that I'll ask tomorrow will do it quickly for me, time's a running out!
I wonder how many people will be at the December 1st interview!? It will probably be a lot since it's for all 4 campuses, but hopefully not too many so they don't reject a bunch of us. Has anyone asked Mary Beth Yokomi this question yet before I e-mail her?

She told me there are 33 students interviewing so far and they'd like to increase that number to 40 by Dec 1st. So I guess that's not very many considering it's all 4 campuses and there are pretty few interview dates total.
I'm sorry about your letter :/ that's frustrating, I was in a similar situation. After 3 months of pestering a pharmacist to write my LOR, he finally did randomly one day. In my case, he was my fourth letter writer so I had already submit my whole PharmCAS and planned to just delete the eLOR request if it ended up affecting my admissions decisions. Do you have at least 2 other letter writers? If so, I don't know if this one letter writer would impede them from reviewing your application anyway-- my friend interviewed with UF last cycle and his pharmacist never even wrote his letter haha. The LOR request was still sitting in his PharmCAS. This might be a good question for Ms. Yokomi and/or Jackie Grosser at USF. Hope it works out quickly! Good luck
Almost December 1st!!!
Did any more people get an interview letter?
