I'm guessing just Ferris students so far?

I haven't gotten mine yet. A few of my friends who have extremely good GPA's and amazing PCAT's got theirs in the mail today (not e-mail).

Congratulations to everyone who got their acceptances. I got mine today, but I wasn't a Ferris student. For everyone who hasn't gotten their acceptances yet, hopefully they'll come soon!

when was your interview?
 
I had an "early" interview. It was on December 21st.
 
If anyone has been accepted to this school, please let me know so you can be added to the roll call for 2014/2015. Please post in the sticky thread or PM me your acceptances and the program you will be attending (if accepted to multiple schools).🙂
 
was it only the people who had early interviews that received their acceptance letters?
 
I had my interview in Big Rapids on Jan. 21st and got my acceptance letter in the mail last week. They said they were waiting for pharmCAS academic updates to come in before they sent invitations but my letter came before pharmCAS even sent the academic update to ferris. So that was a nice surprise and I was shocked the letter came so fast. Also, Im not a ferris student.

What did your PharmCAS app say when the AU was sent? Under pharmacy designations, my app says "revised" to the appropriate schools, instead of "mailed." do they have to physically mail the new transcripts to the schools, or can they just show they received the AU and show the new calculated GPA?
 
From my understanding when your status is switched to "revised" then that means the academic update has been sent to your designated schools.

Yeah as long as it says revised and there's a second mailing date then you're good.

I'm in the same boat. I'm at GV right now too and don't know anyone up at Ferris. I think I'm going up there Tuesday to look at places and stop in the the financial aid office and all that. I just have way too much time on my hands right now lol. I'll start a group up so we can start networking and whatnot.
 
I am also looking for places to stay. I'm thinking about on campus apartments but I don't know anyone who I could room with. Has anyone started a Facebook group yet?

for those conditionally admitted, what does "successful completion" of the remaining coursework mean? do they count all of your classes for the semester, or just the remaining pre-reqs you're working on? and what grade must you get to keep your admission? a C?

Im sure that it is just the coursework required by the CoP, given that you stay a full time student. I was taking 16 credit hours this semester and dropped stats because I was having a hard time keeping a C, but Ferris doesnt require stats so it shouldnt be a problem. and if you dont get a C in the required work im sure that you can retake it this summer as long as it gets done by august. but call the school and ask them, they would know best.😎
 
i'm looking for a roommate...anyone else? ALSO: check out the fbook group everyone!!
 
Does anyone know what we do during orientation? I know we have to do CPR training, but I was just curious if anyone knows more about any other activities. Thanks!
