I think he/she meant that other than Tier 1 people who got interviews, does everyone else just get holds? or do they also send out rejections?
Yes, sorry for the confusion. That's what I meant

My application is Tier 1. I got a scary email notice from Veronica this morning:
.'Your application to the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at the University of the Pacific is now complete. We are writing to give you a progress report on your status..
.After completing an initial review of your application, we have decided that it is appropriate to defer our decision. Your file has been placed on hold and a final decision will be determined later in the cycle. If you are enrolled in fall term classes, please be sure to update PharmCAS with official transcripts as soon as grades are recorded. We will continue our review of your application in late January. Interview letters are sent through the month of March..
.I thank you for your patience as we continue through the review cycle. I am not able to give you specific reasons for the decision which was made on your file at this time. Any new information will be considered when your application is re-reviewed (fall grades, updated volunteer or work experience, etc). Students who are currently enrolled in the first semester of organic chemistry are typically placed on hold until fall grades are received. Whether or not you are enrolled in organic chemistry in the fall, you should report your summer and fall grades to PharmCAS as soon as they are available.".
.I'm finished with ochem... Has anyone heard of that kind of notice before? ahhhhh =x
.
I also Tir I, but i did not get anything from them!!!I received the same deferred decision e-mail, and I'm very sad. I'm also in Tier 1. Does anyone know what the chances are of getting an interview after receiving this???? Thank you....
For anyone considering flying into SFO...DONT DO IT lol
Fly into Sacramento (45 mins away) take the shuttle to Stockton and stay on march lane. Take a quick cab to UOP the next morning. Simple, in and out.
I was told to do SFO then drive my butt 1.5 hour to UOP and the plane ticket was more expensive...
I am flying from John Wayne to SAC then back to SNA if anyone is curious.
I know panda tried booking and tickets are a little bit expensive now since it's getting closer but I strongly suggest don't go the SFO route. If you really want to (cheaper tickets, family, whatever reason), by all means. I was lucky enough to book right when I got invite about a month ahead and secured a $59 deal one way so $118 + tax.
I hope everyone have a safe travel and we all enjoy the interview day!
Is anyone interviewing at UOP (CA) this Friday (10/21)?? I am, and I am SO NERVOUS!
If the only item on the checklist that is highlighted in pink is a transcript for the summer session, would the application still be considered incomplete? Would I be able to just wait until the academic update to send in that transcript?
Do you have a completed checklist date or whatever? If so, it's complete.
No I havent finished the supplemental yet, but I don't want to finish everything and have that be the only thing that is incomplete since the deadline is next week.
When I submitted my applications, my community college transcript wasn't sent in because I haven't taken the class yet. After I submitted the supplemental application, my checklist was complete although the CC transcript portion still showed pink. Since you took those summer classes already, why don't you just send the transcript in? I think you can submit via pharmCAS and then pharmCAS will direct it to UOP. I think as long as the postmark date is before the deadline, they'll accept it. If you're concerned, I would email Veronica Semler <[email protected]> for clarification. She's really nice and extremely fast at replying to emails.
Better yet, since the due date is coming up just around the corner, I suggest you call.
Good luck with interviews this Friday. I'll be on campus so some of you might be able to point me out. Don't hesitate to introduce yourselves.
Hope to meet you this Friday Delano2000. My name is Cameron. excitedddd!!!!
I emailed Veronica already. The whole transcript process takes a couple of weeks. Just in case there's a problem on the CC end and Pharmcas does not receive it by the due date, I don't want that to affect my application.
Hope to meet you this Friday Delano2000. My name is Cameron. excitedddd!!!!
I'll be there tomorrow too! I am really excited
Soo...how did everyone's interviews go? Also, which hotels did you guys stay at? I haven't booked one yet and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Congrats guys, I'm Delano's roommate and he does indeed wear socks with his sandals. Anyways I met a few of you guys friday as well. Good luck... I didn't get a chance to really talk to a whole lot of you individually, but be yourselves, be sociable with your peers/competition because people will notice it. Introverts will not get far. Pacific really likes to see strong outgoing personalities. Good luck, and stand out!
the interview was great!!! it was actually really cool and the people there were really really friendly. i can definitely see myself going here. i loved it. and from the looks of it that day, other interviewees seemed to have a good time too. i stayed at a friends in sacramento and drove to uop that morning of.

When is your interview?
Does anyone who is invited for an interview mind sharing their stats? PleaseI just got an interview! Did any other Tier 2's get interviews today?
UOP just changed its pharmcas deadline to dec 1 instead of nov 1. Anybody know how this changes the tier system?
Does anyone who is invited for an interview mind sharing their stats? Please
Thanks
Just to let you guys know, UoP tends to focus more on a well-rounded applicant than anything else. If you have really good LORs, work experiences, volunteer experiences and leadership experiences then you are almost a shoe-in for acceptance. Also, if you interview well and are personable, then that does a lot of good for you too. Definitely keep up the grades though.
I have a interview this Friday? anyone have any tips??
Also does anyone know in how long after the interview they tell you if you are in or not??

Do you guys know when the Tier3's get their interview letters?
Hi everyone!
I just got invited to interview with UOP. Do anyone have any recommendations or simply what to look out for? For people who just interviewed with them, what were some of the questions they asked for, especially the essay prompt?
Thanks
They change the essay prompt from week to week so telling you my essay prompt wouldn't help much. My advice? Be genuine. They know when you're lying! Also, make sure you eat before hand because they will only feed you cookies. ;___; You really don't want your stomach grumbling in the middle of a interview.
