2009 western university..anyone yet?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
i SUREEEE hope you're right. unless they're just giving you all that bs because that's what they have to tell you. 30 emails to send out doesn't take that long! o_0.
 
Congrats to everyone that's been accepted and good luck to those still waiting! 🙂
 
that is tru...but there were two ppl that told me...the guy at the front desk...and an admissions couselor.

she even said that the faculty has a lot of otehr things to do like teach during the day...so they have limited time. so lets just hope that this is tru.

anyway,,,good luck!:xf::xf:
 
Has anyone received an invitation to interview for February 21st? I know it says they will call 2-3 weeks before the interview date, just wanted to see if anyone has an invitation yet.

i still think they were trained to say all that stuff. but doesn't the dean make all the final decisions anyway? or that's what i heard. after the interview. they make a pile of 2 yes', 1 yes 1 no, and 2 no's, and then the dean takes it from there, no?

blahhh. good luck to you too!
 
I got my email acceptance today too!!!! I can't believe it!

Good Luck to everyone still waiting...i'm crossing my fingers for you!

They might give you a really short notice. They called me 4 days before the interview date.

I also know people that got a phone call the day before the interview, so everyday up to the actual day is a possibility! :luck:

For those who got the email today, did you get a follow up phone call later in the afternoon?

Yes, I got a phone call today at 5pm from a prof. at Western congratulating me. Pretty cool that they call you too.
 
Hi fellow SDN'ers,

I got an email acceptance timed at 940am. This is my first acceptance as a second year applicant. I am just so stoked cuz this is so close to home. Good luck to all.

thank you =)..the email was sent on 9:43 am but i didn't check it until noon... keep thinking positive!..i'm sure you'll hear soon!


...did everyone who was accepted today get a phone call? i didn't...oh well that's ok
 
yeah fanatic. i think we're not on the accepted list.. 🙁
 
hey guys 😉

i interviewed jan 24...
and i got an email yesterday from western for an acceptance...
then in the afternoon (around 2 or 3pm) i got a phone call from the professor who interviewed me to let me know of my acceptance 🙂

i am ecstatic!

good luck to everyone else! 👍
keep your chins up
 
yup..i believe they are done with acceptances. Now time to pray that we atleast get a HOLD =)
 
who did you interview with? 🙂

so if we haven't received an email so far, we can safely assume we are on hold or alternate? I just wanted to make sure before I make my deposit for another school.

hrm. not necessarily. you can still get a rejection on top of hold or alternate. but i think acceptances are done.
 
Has there been any rejections or is it all just hold or alternate listing? Do the rejection letters come at the end?
 
i was wondering the same thing...no one on here has posted a rejection..granted there are many more ppl that interviewed that are not a part of SDN. But still...

But the adcom said that everyone will receive a decision (from the jan 24th interviews) by next friday and they said the same for the dec. 6th interviews.

so i am thinking that if you dont get an acceptance..then your a hold/alternate.

and then maybe from the next two interviews...they make you wait till april to give you final decisions...which include rejections...=(

(but this is just my take on it)
 
that's what I thought. No rejection, just hold or alternate if not acceptance after each interview. Rejections come after all the interviews are done. From the first interview, was all the acceptance emails all on 1 day or over 2-3 days? Is there still hope for tomorrow?
 
treetop..that is what i am hoping that it is from a span of 2-3 days....my friend that interviewed also called and they said that they are still making acceptances...unless that is what they are suppose to say...

but i am still thinking positively and keeping the negativity out!!

soooo good luck..and if you hear/see anything tomorrow...please update...=)

and...i honestly thought i did well at the interview...

For those who are getting waitlisted/alternative listed, there really were people who got into our class even like a couple days before school started during orientation. Don't be TOO stressed ...
 
Just got invited to the 2/21 interview. They called around 9:00 am. 🙂 yay!
 
I just got an email from them telling me that my file is ready for evaluation. They said they will contact me via email or snail mail regarding my status after my file has been evaluated. I haven't gotten an interview invite yet. 😕
 
Based on what I understood from the admissions office....there were no alternates given out for the Dec. interviews...

So, I dont know if the same thing is going to happen with the Jan. interviews.....

But, I would just pray and hope that everything works out...and always rememeber, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!!! 🙂

I got my RFE email a a week before the jan invites and I still didn't hear anything.
 
anyone get anymore acceptances?

guess not huh. so they are done for sure. 🙁

pray pray pray...
 
i dont think there are anymore acceptances.

all decisions were made today from the jan 24th interviews

now lets just hope that we get good news (alternate/hold vs. a rejection)
 
I got my RFE email a a week before the jan invites and I still didn't hear anything.

I know people have been getting invited for interviews via phone call, but she only mentioned a letter in the mail or via email regarding my status. What does RFE stand for anyways?
 
Jubilant, I applied quite late =(. My supplemental was sent in near the end of October.

RFE = Ready for Evaluation. Although the invites are through phone calls, I'm hoping that maybe the e-mail means that our files will be evaluated pretty soon and for this month's interview. Then again, I said I got that notification a week before the Jan. interview and didn't hear anything, so maybe I got pushed back? iono lol.
 
so i checked my email just know and saw "Western U" in my inbox....

i got really excited, but it was just from financial aid saying i should fill out my FAFSA because the deadline is approaching...and they wanted to inform me just incase even though my application "is still under consideration"

BAHHHH!!!! 😡
 
I didnt get that email. Not sure if that's a bad thing. I filled out my FAFSA already for all the potential schools. Better safe to apply.
 
ya..i have to apply still. that's why i got that email then. haha..

well I am still hoping for the best with Western U!!

I got the same email earlier too. At least it's great to know that we haven't gotten rejected yet. 🙄

If i remember correctly, i think you get 50 minutes to write the essay. The essay is non-science related. It just asks you for your opinion on a subject. In fact, the subject wasn't even on a pharmacy or healthcare issue. Bascially you just have to write coherently and support your ideas.
 
Hey Guys!
I have my interview on Feb. 21st as well. I will see some of you guys there. How many people are at the interview? Is it a group interview like Touro or person to person?
Thanks
 
There are about 100-120 people at the interview. It is two on one (professor and usually a P1 and yourself)

From the jan 24th and dec 6th interviews, they roughly accepted about 30 applicants from each interview session.

That is not looking good for me since according to them and many others, those who get accepted would typically receive an email followed by a phone call from the interviewer. Hmm, in this case which means we, waiters for the snail mail are either on hold or alternate. Neither one is good.🙁
 
I agree....so we are waiting for something we really dont wanna hear. HAHA. Well, now lets look forward to getting an alternate status =)
