Check the interview feedback under reference materials. I don't think you're technically supposed to disclose the information but some people did in that and I will just say I'm glad I read over the questions that were posted there.
Thanks, I am checking it out now! I am just wondering if everyone get the interview most likely get accepted!! I really hope so!! my interview is next week and i am so nervous :/
There was an overwhelming feeling that the people they interview they intend to accept unless you do something really crazy to mess up your interview. The dean was like "when you goto orientation blahbalh." not IF you go. Which campus are you interviewing at? Mine was insanely laid back and everyone went out of their way to make you feel comfortable
I hope that will be the case with me too! i am just supper worried because my pcat score is in the 50s...

I received an invite to interview next week but have to reschedule because of school and work, hopefully they can give me another date.

The interviews are closed file, your interviewers won't know about your Pcat score. The fact they invited you for an interview means you obviously had some other strong points to your application. Just go in there and be confident and you're gonna be fine

Hi everyone! I'm a 2PD at the St Pete Campus that's been creeping the forums since before I started pharmacy school. I finally decided to join and provide some input to help out.
Interviews: relax! I personally cried after my interview. I thought I did horribly and didn't prepare as well as I should have but have no fear! Everyone is very warm and welcoming. Once you've reached the interview phase, you're pretty much in unless you run around the room flailing your arms shouting Go Noles...
To pass on the advice given to me: prepare for a UF interview the way you would prepare for a Target interview.
I might not be the best person to answer this since I live at home and have no rent to pay but loans have worked out for me. I don't take out 100% of my loans but others who live off campus in apartments/condos don't have a problem with what the sub/unsub loans offer. My family doesn't chip in for school so my loans/scholarships pay 100% of my tuition. They also offer a 3rd loan in case the sub and unsub loans are not sufficient...but I don't know of anyone who's had to use it.
Don't forget about Bright Futures, Doorways/FL Prepaid, Pell Grant, other stuff that might carry over. Any little bit helps. Just don't forget to fill out your FAFSA!
I don't think anyone's had a problem playing for school. Most people take out loans through UF and it's sufficient. My mistake was only out what I thought I needed for spring my first year and then realizing that it was supposed to last me though a jobless summer so I had a tight budget...but I knew better this time!

For anyone who started UFCOP within the past couple of years...how are you paying for school? Does UF have good loans? If so, could you provide details about them. Or if you got them from a bank or alternate source, could you share your experience? I have a feeling tuition will only continue to rise...

Any 1 2 or 3 pds out there who can suggest decent areas to live near the Lake Nona campus in the fall. I've "heard" the immediate Lake Nona town "might" be pretty expensive? Living in the direction of U.C.F. would have its advantages, but naturally the closer the better to our U.F. COP campus would be best.
Thank you
Thank you
A tip for current UF students (and lifetime Florida residents) going into COP:
When obtaining your immunization records from UF, be sure you have a nurse at the immunization office check your FLORIDA immunization record. UF just had my Td immunization marked, and the nurse thought it was suspicious as I lived in Florida since I was a child. She said in Florida, Tdap is usually given instead of Td. So she checked my Florida immunization record and it turned out I have had Tdap, but UF just reported it as Td instead, because that is all that is needed to start undergraduate work here. You don't want to get punched in the arm if you don't have to!

Nope, nothing yet.

do not sweat over the interview at all!!!
They are all very easy going, I did not prepare and did just fine if you want to, go over the interview feedback page and you should be just fine!!!!!!!!!!I interviewed on april 13 at orlando campus as well. I haven't received any decision email yet while others already received their conditional accepted email. I am so worry and thinking that i might be denied
Aww let's hope not! Who did your interview go?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using SDN Mobile

Hmm check your spam folder? If not then def e-mail Mary Beth asap
For the March interview they sent out the invites about 3 weeks before (Got the invite March 1st for the March 23 interview)
Yeah, I sent mine in back in January. Send it in ASAP... as far as I know they haven't sent out financial aid packages yet because I don't even think they finalized tuition costs for next year... they said it would probably be like June in my interview. 2011-12 year cost of attendence was almost 20k and the dean said to expect around ~12% increase this year. Federal grad loans should cover this amount plus some.

The school will "require" an iDevice (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) but most apps they use are also on android. Some may be specific to Apple but with the technical difficulties we come across every now and then, there are always other methods around the iDevice such as using our laptops or going old fashioned with handwritten quizzes. So technically speaking, you could get away without an iDevice...I used a 3G iPhone half of 1PD year and then switched to using my laptop for all my quizzes because my iPhone kept getting kicked off the network or it'd die from being so old. I now have a Galaxy S2 and I haven't had a problem 2PD year. I despise Apple anyways
However, if you're taking a quiz on something other than an iDevice, they will not take it lightly if it malfunctions and you may not get credit as you would if an iDevice malfunctioned since that is the device that the school recommends. This also depends on how lenient the professor is who is giving the assignment/quiz but as I mentioned before: I haven't had a problem, and neither have other Android users in my class. Other fellow pharm students can add in if they have anything else to say.
Hey guys!! Congrats to all who have been accepted--- what a great accomplishment!
Just wanted to leave a post with the Facebook group page for the St. Pete Campus c/o 2016....

I had my interview in April so I can't start the 4 step process until May 21st but I tried to log on to my gatorlink because I had set that up when I first applied and my account had been locked. I called the help number and they tried to reset it with no luck.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue?
I'm thinking it might be because it's still too early and the problem will go away after the 21st of next month but I don't want to assume.
Has anyone else been impeded from starting the process early?

I've been waiting to post this for like 4 months....
I got an interview tomorrow at the Gainesville campus!
Mind you I just got the invite an hour ago.
Wow, talk about last minute. Good luck to you though!

Hey guys, has anyone heard from UF regarding their status or an interview? Basically, UF is the only school I never heard back from this cycle. I e-mailed Mary Beth and she told me she will let me know of my status next week. What do you guys think as far as how full the class is at this point? What are your thoughts?

So I guess all the apps that are actually utilized are also available with android then, because like you I loathe apple.
