Congrats! Can I ask how the interview was? I've read it's closed file, individual. Any insight on what questions were asked, and if there were any ethical or situational questions?

yes it's a closed file one on one. they will make you feel relaxed. go to the interview section on sdn, under pharmacy lecom,....the questions there is pretty much the same. for me there was no situational questions. you will be fine.

Congrats to all the new acceptances. You have a tough road ahead of you, but there are worse places you could be. If you're in, I definitely recommend relaxing, taking a vacation, or doing fun things because you will not have much free time once your first year starts.I'll be graduated (hopefully) before you start here, but I hope you all have a great experience!

please can you recommend any moderately priced one bedroom apartment near Lecom. I can't have room mates because of personal reasons...

Sadly, I cannot recommend anything in Bradenton, I bought a house in St. Pete and commuted. Good luck, though, I believe they are increasing the rates with the new dental school opening up 🙁
 
Hey how was school Flavy Flav? was it doable? How would an avg person do at bradenton?
 
Got my official acceptance letter a couple days ago and sent out my deposit! 😀

Is this anyone else's top choice/sending out their deposit?!

School was doable...Very stressful, get used to a test a week (sometimes 2 or more), and constant studying/projects to keep you busy. Now, I'm probably a below-average student entering with a 2.7cumulative GPA, however I performed decently even with outside factors taking up my time outside of school and working ~15 hours a week during the school year.Saying that, I would not go through it again, I'm glad I'm done and on rotations. Of course, your mileage will vary, but don't stress, if you were good enough to be accepted you're good enough to pass. Getting the A is what will make you pull your hair out 🙂
 
i'll see whoever at the interview tomorrow! i'm nervous/excited! i also got an infection on my wisdom tooth so that'll be fun as well. great luck right?
 
Thanks FlavyFlav...I deff am nervous and excited too just wish I was done already and or had a feel for the course work....I hear this pharmaceutics class is brutal and that the professor makes it very challenging.

What airport did everyone fly into?

Tampa, way cheaper but is about 45 mins to an hr from the school. Sarasota fares are about 2x that of Tampa. you can rent a car from the airport.

Do you have to be at least 25 years old to rent a car? I'm not 25.
 
you can arrange with super shuttle, or any shuttle that runs at the airport. they will pick you from the airport to your hotel like i did.

How much did you pay for the super shuttle from airport to the hotel?
 
$57 from Tampa airport to my hotel in Bradenton but that added to my air ticket was still cheaper than using Sarasota airport

The flight into Sarasota is only 45 dollars more!
 
Where are you flying from? I'm from California.
 
How far did you book in advance?
 
What airline arrives at the Sarasota Airport? I'm looking at Expedia and it seems like all flights are arriving at Tampa Airport. Thanks!

Hello!! I had few questions for you guys. I just applied this week and sending out my supp application next week. I have a BS does that mean they will waive my pcat score? Is it too late to apply? Also, how long did you guys have to wait once your supp application was reviewed to hear about interviews?? Would you guys mind sharing your stats? Any insights will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance 🙂

If you have your BS you do not need to submit your PCAT score/it can be waived. It's not late to apply deadline is March 1st, 2013.

I waited a little less than a month to hear back from them (I had some issues with a LOR not showing up though..)

I will have my bachelors, 3.2 science GPA, 3 years as a pharmacy technician, lots of volunteering/extracurricular. Good lucky!

I have a bachelors in Political Science from 2003 (I'm 27). I actually went to law school for a year, it didn't work out and I discovered pharmacy while in law school - working there for just gas money and I caught the bug.You do not have to take the PCAT for Lecom if you have a bachelors and it's the only school I applied to. So I was a nervous wreck. For me, I sent out my application for pharmcas like end of August, got supplemental Sept like 16th heard 2 days later for an interview. Had my interview November 1, accepted November 2. It's definitely not too late to apply, as far as last year they took people even up to the day of classes (they were waitlisted but my adviser said that they took more than half of their waitlist last year). My stats are 3.0 Science gpa, 3.2 overall gpa, finished bachelors in 2003 and I've been a pharm tech for 5 years - 2 of which I was lead technician ( I moved to Florida in my 3rd year lol).
