For those that were accepted this year (C/o 2009/2010)

pAwSN · May 9, 2006

If you don't mind, would you please post the school you were admitted and your stats(Cumm. GPA, Science GPA, PCAT)? To help the rest of us that may need to reapply next year to compile a list of schools that we may want to apply to. I know you all have already posted your acceptances and some of your stats, but most of it is in different threads so it's difficult to search for all of them. I know there are much more things that adcom can look at, but by talking to some schools these are the main things they look at first before they look at anything else. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

CatSpam · May 12, 2006

Stats:

B.S. in Biology, minor Chemistry (UTEP, 1977). GPA 3.67
61 post-B.S. hours taken in the last year and a half at UTEP: 3.9
Current overall GPA at UTEP: 3.74 (212 total hours)
Pre-pharmacy GPA: 3.64 (pre-pharm science and math also 3.64)
PCAT composite: 91

Pharmacy experience: very little (mostly shadowing, and not a lot of that)
Volunteer experience: spent 6 months working full time at the El Paso Opportunity Center for the homeless.

I have been both enlisted (electronics technician) and officer (surface warfare) in the US Navy Reserve (retired as a Commander). I was a plant manager for Air Products and Chemicals Specialty Gases Division in Long Beach, CA. I have several years of experience in sales of specialty gases and chemicals, mostly to the semiconductor manufacturing sector.

BOTTOM LINE:

Applied all in-state (didn't apply to UH). Interviewed: Texas A&M, Texas Tech and UT.

Accepted to Texas A&M, rejected by Texas Tech, waiting on UT(but not very hopeful, despite a GREAT interview)

92 (I think, or was is 91?) PCAT

No pharmacy experience, but had a previous career in telecom. I lived overseas for a while. Pharmacy was always IT for me, but I lacked the confidence to make the jump. Finally found it when I was backed into a corner.

I applied to Colorado and University of Washington and was accepted at both (from the wait-list at Washington).
