Does anyone know the definite time (i.e. Fall 2007 or Fall 2008) of when Chicago State's Pharmacy school opens?
ACPE will meet again in January to discuss accreditation status. CSU does have the fact that ACPE is based in Chicago, and that might work against them. The people at ACPE might be more familar with its reputation, and the fact that they just went through a major scandal involving financial aid.
From the CSU website:
It sounds like they're really not sure if they will be approved for precandidate status.
If they're telling applicants to make deposits at other schools "as a precaution" - it doesn't sound very good.
Does anyone know why they are having difficulty with the precandidate application?
"Applicants accepted to the Chicago State University College of Pharmacy will be accepted provisionally until final approval for precandidate status is granted. (This is common practice for any new college or school of pharmacy and not unique to Chicago State University) In the event precandidate status is not approved by July 2008, all required fees and deposits will be refunded to the applicant within four weeks. If precandidate status is approved, the deposit will be credited toward tuition for Fall 2008. No student will matriculate into the program until precandidate status is achieved.
As a precaution, applicants are strongly encouraged to apply to multiple colleges or schools of pharmacy and to hold at least one additional offer of admissions by making the appropriate deposit to that school."

Has anyone actually began applying to this school?
Has anyone completed there application to CSU yet? Or close to completing?
I received an email from the school today... anyone else? PM me if you feel thats necessary
What'd they have to say?
I didn't apply there due to the fact they require LORs from two different health advisors...wtf?
Oh maybe it was just one. But one too many. What is a health advisor anyway? If they are the people in the counseling office that tell you what classes you should take then I don't know how they could write a decent LOR. oh well.
jamesl1585, you said you got an email from CSU. Was it for an acceptance? When did you apply? I applied beginning of January and got an email saying my app was being reviewed and I would hear something in 2-4 weeks. Anyone know how many people have been interviewed/admitted??
I am interested in applying but I'm still hesitant about the whole pre-candidate status situation. So what happens if they don't get it? I am not sure how this all works.
I just received a postcard from this school with a number written on the back asking me to contact them. This isn't an interview is it? Has anyone received an interview invite from them, and if so, what format was it in? Thanks guys
anyone hear anything yet from chicago state?? i heard they had their first round of interviews two fridays ago.. with 12 applicants. anyone else interview? get accepted??
Hey All,
I was one of about 9 students to be among the first to be interviewed at Chicago State.
I really liked the faculty and the vision the school has outlined.
It was a good experience...if there are any specific questions I'll answer them as they are asked.
I'm not sure how many applications they have gotten...sorry.
However, they are only accepting 84 students.
They said they kept the number of interviewees low because they really want to get to know the applicants.
