Anyone else finding that these groups are limited to the UCLA network? I would be happy to make a new general or TC group within the U of M network that everyone could join, or maybe whoever made these groups could change the network settings.

That would be great actually!! I can't change the settings and I'm not too tech savvy! Sorry about that!

Thank you!

Congrats on getting the interview; I hope that you get in. However, at my interview last week I learned that a large chunk of the seats have already been filled. (100 out of 160 for TC and 30 out of 60 for Duluth) You should have a back up plan just in case because I know it is a lot harder to get in when the seats are more limited. One of the students did tell me she got in with an interview on the last date offered in March so there is hope. Just be calm in your interview and be prepared to explain why you want to be a pharmacist and why U of M.

Thanks for those numbers. It will help me keep realistic expectations. I have my interview on Friday, and I am looking forward to seeing the TC campus. I just hope it goes well enough to get a seat! How many interviewees are present at each interview session?

I thought there were only 107 seats at the Twin Cities campus...have they really expanded it that much?
 
What that person said was incorrect. I interviewed last week on 2/15/13.

Here were the stats as of that date:
23 applicants interviewed on 2/15/13
231 total applicants interviewed (including 2/15/13)
184 applicants reviewed for admission
114 applicants admitted
166 spots in the Class of 2017 (60 Duluth, 106 Twin Cities)

Yes, sorry about getting the stats wrong for the TC. I have it written down but was giving the number off the top of my head. If you calculate how many people will be getting in from the previous interview (2/8) and the one on 2/15, the seats become extremely limited. For the interview, there is about 15 people with you during the info session but the actual interview is one on one with a faculty member or someone in the HR department. Make sure to mention MTM (medication therapy management) in your interview; it was initiated at the U of M so impress your interviewer with some background research. I just got my acceptance letter today via email with the admission packet on the way!!
 
I just got my acceptance to TC!! sooooooo excited!!!!!

MTM lol I never heard of it, and I did not mention it lol But I got accepted with scholarship!!! the bottom line is there is no single trick for you or against you, just be calm and take the time to explain why you want to be pharmacist, that is all, they already heard every trick in the book lol if you try to out smart them, there is a risk they may suspect that, which is a do or die plan and I don't recommend it.

This individual interviewed 2/15, and since then 6 additional people got in, and only 12 additional applications were reviewed. That's still 50%. Don't fret too much just yet. Remember, they admit more than 166 individuals.

jboi7 - when was your interview date?
Click to expand...

I interviewed on the 8th of Feb and got an email on the 22nd confirming my acceptance. According to the email, the actual package should arrive in the mail tomorrow on the 26th. However, I can't be sure if the stats above are correct; I can't believe that only 6 people from my interview date got in because there were a bunch of really qualified individuals. A total of 24 people interviewed on the same day as I did (15 at TC and 9 at Duluth). I think the numbers they give out this coming Friday March 1st will be more indicative of how many people made it from my interview session.
 
in case anyone is wondering (last minute applicants like myself), the last interview date (as of today) is on March 29th per the admissions office.

Thanks, Huyandcun! So, it seems like 7 more were admitted from the 11 reviewed this week.
 
What difference there could be between applicants interviewed and applicants reviewed for admission?

After the interview, the admissions committee re-reviews your application as a whole and takes your interview into consideration. Your interviewer is not on the AdCom, if I'm not mistaken, so the AdCom has to take the evaluation from the interviewer and assess it in the context of your entire application. This process happens after the interview, but not necessarily right after.
 
So that means I could get flat out rejected after the interview too, right?
 
y0ssarian87 said:
Yes. At the interview they explain that a few weeks after the interview, they send you a letter indicating that you are accepted, waitlisted (ranked or unranked), or rejected.

I see. Thanks!
