This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am wondering if they are starting to look at the "on hold" applicants more now. I really hope to hear back!

I am still on hold as well, I wish they could move a little bit faster with this process, but I know they have a lot of applicants.

University of Pacific
PROS: old school with established reputation and connections, nice faculty, great student organizations, PharmD in 3 years, PharmD/MBA dual degree in 4 years

CONS: large class size of 200 students
Click to expand...

I would consider the larger class size as more of a pro than con. I understand the whole smaller class size means closer student body etc, but think of the larger numbers as more professional resources/connections. Before starting at UOP last year I was also a little overwhelmed with the class size, but I quickly learned that 200+ is actually not that big at all. PM me if you want me to elaborate or if you want to ask anything UOP specific.
 
I'm from the March 9th interview and I still haven't found out yet............... I don't understand. Like I don't even know if I'm on hold or rejected or accepted

Does anyone know how long it takes to get our acceptance packets?

hey guys, i got a mail from UOP saying that i'm on the middle portion of the wait list. :/
 
I also received a letter in the mail today offering wait list status. More waiting, but I'll stay optimistic and hope that I will be lucky enough to get a seat that opens up! :xf:

Are u on the top or middle portion?
 
I also received a letter in the mail today offering wait list status.Does anyone know how many applicants are accepted from each interview session?
 
Does anyone know anything? When i interviewed in january they said it was down to 300 people for 200 spots
 
Hi guys I also just got a letter saying that I am on the wait-list. I talked to Veronica and she said that not everyone that was on hold will be placed on the wait-list, the wait-list is approx. 75 applicants, and for the past 2 years they were able to accept about half of their wait-listed applicants.

So hopefully that is good news to some of you.. and most definitely let's stay optimistic!!!

Please if anyone is not planning to attend, notify UOP ASAP so students from the wait-list can be notified early enough to make the appropriate adjustments.

I am on the waitlist as well but I declined their offer. Good luck to you all !!!
 
Hey I also was offered a spot on the wait list (top). Hopefully we all get in! I am sure a handful people will drop their spots at UOP as they hear back from others schools...

I interviewed on the 24th of February. Just got an email of acceptance yesterday on the 29th of February!

Wow at this whole ordeal. One word of advice for anyone; never procrastinate the applications!!! For every application, I turned them in at the last minute (literary - the UCSF supplemental website was going bananas and I almost did not submit it in time.) and as a result my lifespan has shortened quite a bit. I had four interviews fall on the 25th of Feburary and I only had the luxury of choosing to go to one of them! I was pretty much at the lowest point in my life the past week...because I did not feel well about the interview on the 25th. Now I can just rest and not have to turn in applications tomorrow...and wait to hear from the schools I have already interviewed at.

As for the interview on the 24th, the staff mentioned that they put quite a few people on hold so that they could offer spots for the people that are interviewing at later dates. From my talks with the staff, they are holding a few more interview until the end of March, in which they will start taking people off the hold list depending on how people are responding to UCSF and UCSD releasing their acceptance of students. USC is carefully doing so too, as the admissions director directly mentioned that he did not want a fiasco like he had a few years ago with a larger than normal class size. So do not give up! Many spots will be opening from the end of March all the way to June, and even some right before school starts. (I had a friend picked up at UoP three days before class started a few years ago.) Concentrate on finishing the year strong!

Hey! I was wondering was your friend who got into the school 3 days before in the middle or top portion of the wailist? Or if anyone knows if anyone has gotten in after being from the "middle" portion of the waitlist please chime in :) Thanks!

Click to expand...

Unfortunately I am not on the top but the middle. From what I understood from Veronica is that they don't have actual numbers designated to each applicant but I guess categorized based on: top, middle, bottom. And when then get down to that specific category they would select who is their best candidate then..

So there really isn't a need to ask for a number..
 
I'm on the low portion of the wait list. do you think I still have a chance?

I've just withdrew my admission spot from UOP so whoever is next on the waitlist, congrats! :thumbup:
 
Thank you for letting us know. And thanks for being considerate and telling UOP earlier than later so the rest of us can have a chance
 
Does anyone know how many seats are still available at UOP for Fall 2012?How many students are placed on the waiting list?

interviewed: around 300
entering size (prepharmacy advance + transfer) : 200
transfer applicant accepted: 190 (?)
 
I was placed om the middle portion of the wait list a few days ago, but I have informed the school that I will not be attending so there's one more light of hope for you guys on the lower portion of the list, GOOD LUCK!
 
Thank you for letting us know. And thanks for being considerate and telling UOP earlier than later so the rest of us can have a chance!! :)

accepted: 100
waiting list: 200 (??)

If you read the earlier comment, someone spoke with Veronica and she told them that approximately 75 candidates were given waitlist opportunities.

Nope, I wasn't placed on a waistlist.

Yes, I am going to accept ... UOP was the only school I applied to.

Good luck!!!

Same here. Sent a letter yesterday to admissions office declining their offer. Good luck to those on the waiting list! :luck:

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME :luck:!!!
 
I agree thanx for letting us know.. I am surprised that they are still accepting people who have not been placed on a wait-list, I just assumed that they have placed people on wait-list since they've sent out already all their acceptance letters... does anyone have any idea of what is going on?
 
I agree with ss801.. whats going on?
still accepting people???
how about waiting list???
