How did you go about preparing yourself for the interview? What type of questions did you practice and how did you go about practicing for the opinion-based part? Im not asking so that I can 'get ahead'. Im really nervous about the interview bc sometimes im not very well spoken and I dont want them to question my passion for the profession bc im not able to articulate it properly.
I interviewed in October and got the same email. It's different than the waitlist. It means that they're waiting until they interview more people to determine if we're accepted. The waitlist would be made after everyone is interviewed and acceptance letters go out, and you would only gain acceptance if someone turns down their offer. They haven't made too many decisions yet so there is still a good chance of getting in!
I haven't received anything either. Let me know if you hear anything!
I believe the deposit is $250. And the interview is very conversational and relaxed. A lot of the questions are about yourself, and of course they want to know why you want to go into pharmacy. But they really just want to get to know you. There are two pharmacy scenarios you'll have to discuss/ tell them what you would do in that situation. But don't be nervous, just answer confidently. You know yourself best!
I interviewed on February 6th and my letter was dated February 10th.. I think the last round of early admits is over, and now the majority of the class will be accepted the next round, but I could be wrong..
You may be in the same situation as me. I have not received an email or a letter regarding admission so I'm a bit lost as well
Just curious, are you a current UGA student? So far I haven't heard from anyone who isn't also a current undergrad
Did your letter say anything about your admission status? Also are from the state of GA? I think that the letters for the people around the atlanta area got delayed because of the ice storm.
Yes, I am a second year here at UGA.. My acceptance letter was dated February 10th but I did not get it until last Friday because school was closed and opened up at like 10 on Friday..
Hey, if you have any questions, you can inbox me and I will be glad to answer them for you.. Also, I am from the state of Georgia, and I am currently a second year at UGA.. Also, if you go to twitter and search like "UGA pharmacy school" you should see people posting about getting accepted around the 10th ...
So i think this is the way i inbox you not really sure. I looked on twitter and didn't really see anyone else get accepted into uga maybe i didn't look deep enough. Have you heard anything about people who don't go to uga that got accepted. I live in the state of GA but no email or letter. By the way did you get an email also? If don't get a letter or an email by this week do you think i should contact the school because they have to let me know something.
I interviewed back in November and got that "will receive full consideration" email. Havent heard anything since. It's really annoying that I'm having to wait so long. I almost wish they'd just deny me already because it doesn't feel like I'm wanted. University of Tennessee accepted me 2 hours after my interview! I wouldn't even be stressed over this but I'm local and tuition here is way more reasonable.
I did not get an email, for I interviewed on the 6th and my acceptance letter was dated the 10th.. As far as what you should do, I cant really advise you on that..I feel that you just have to do what you feel is best for you.. I have been told that the majority of the class gets accepted in late march or early April, so they can still be viewing your application.. Here's the link for twitter...https://twitter.com/search?q=UGA pharmacy&src=typd
The next admissions cycle is supposed to be around late March, maybe even early April. They say the majority of the class gets filled out during that time
I think they only admit like 60 people total for the early admits, and the other 85 people get accepted in late March or early April..
So are the only people accepted so far those who applied as Early Decision on their PharmCas?
Im not sure about the whole applying early on pharmcas, because I did not apply early.. I submitted my application on December 1st and received an invite on December 5th.. Their are two rounds of early admits.. It think the first round got admitted in late November and the second round of early admits got in on February 10th... Also, I think they only admit like 30 people each of the first two rounds, then the rest of the people get admitted during the third round which is regular decision...
What specifically do you want to know.. I would be more than happy to inform you on anything you would like to know..
I really don't know when the last day of their cycle is. I wish I did know, because my interview is tomorrow, February 28th and I'm gonna be going crazy wondering if I'm accepted. When I got my interview offer, they gave me options to choose my interview date. There were several options anywhere from February 20th to March 5th. So maybe that's one whole cycle?
Thanks. My guess is you are right, the February interview cycle probably ends on March 5th. With spring break the week of March 10th, my guess is decisions will not be mailed until later in the month. More waiting!
I'm already dying of anticipation and I haven't even gone to my interview lol. Have you gotten an interview?
Invite was sent early February and interviewed last week. Need to pay a deposit elsewhere by the end of next week so need a decision soon!
I'm really excited about.this whole thing and I really want to go to this school!!Hey JamesHello all,
My name is James. I'm currently a first-year pharmacy student at UGA. This is my first post to the forum here, but I used SDN forums a lot throughout my application process for updates from other applicants. It's a great resource!
As I read through this thread, I notice that a lot of you have questions about a lot of different aspects of the interview and acceptance processes as well as waiting periods/ what to expect. If I can help anyone in any way by answering questions, about these things or general questions about anything at UGA, let me know! I'll do my best to answer them.
A very big congratulations to those of you have already been accepted, and for those still waiting: HANG IN THERE. Trust me- I have suffered through the awful period of waiting and not knowing, checking the mailbox 5 times a day like a crazy person, and being placed on wait-lists. Things will get better
A little bit more about me:
-I was a two-time applicant- I got wait-listed for the class of 2016, then reapplied and was accepted for the class of 2017.
-I also have a B.S. from UGA, so I'm what some people call a "double dawg"
-I love the University of Georgia and the city of Athens
The interview sessions for the class of 2018 have officially ended, but I don't know when the remainder of acceptance letters for the class will be mailed.
Once again, please feel free to ask me questions about anything!
GO DAWGS!
Do you mind sharing your GPA and PCAT? What wait list number where you and when did you finally get the acceptance letter?
How do you know what your wait list number is???
My GPA was 3.32 and my highest PCAT composite score was 83 (pretty mediocre stats).
Take a look at my other response to Pharm9999's post. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I will be applying uga in2015 however just wondering if you ever take any online class for your pre-req. And what subjects are they?
