Its been a while since we've had a post here...so, I thought I say "hello 🙂 " to everyone.

For those who are taking the IPBP exam & interview at Western U...How are you preparing for the exam & the interview?

For those who applied to NOVA's international program...Have you heard anything from them yet?

Take care!!!

For IPBP, I am mainly focussing on pharmacology & Pharmaceutics.
How is your prep going on?.

No news from Nova yet.
Good Luck

Hello Rsk,

Same here, my only resource to prepare of IPBP program is the study guide material provided by them. I am just a little nervous about the interview it self more than the exam. Still no word to NOVA🙁 , hopefully we'll hear something by end of May.

Take care!

Hello Everyone,

I just got back from CA. As far as the IPBP exam, I think I did ok on it and interview wasn't bad either. But there were so many students there who felt the same way....probability of being accepted doesn't look so good. Everyone there whom I spoke with thought they did just as well on the exam and the interview. There were few reapplicants as well, which had done well on the exam last year but were not granted admission. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

As far as NOVA, I called to admission office few days ago and they gave me the same response as they did to "gvsk".

Good luck everyone...Please keep this post updated.

 

[gvsk]

fingers crossed buddy

Ho go4it

when did you call nova office?.

 

[go4it]

Hi RSK,

I had called NOVA last Thursday. How do you think you did at Western U?

 

[go4it]

I think the reason that gvsk received an email with webmail id is because he has applied for Financial Aid (I found this out by searching some old threads on this site).

 

[rsk]

Hi RSK,

I had called NOVA last Thursday. How do you think you did at Western U?

Just like every one else.I think it all depends how your essay and interview is graded.

[Williamlh1982]

I graduated with a bachelor degree of science in pharmaceutical preparation. However, nova says "Prior to matriculation, College of Pharmacy applicants must complete and receive a Bachelor of Science degree in pharmacy from a program accredited by the country of residence. "
I do not know wether I quarlify their requirement. I have sent them email and gave them phone call, but no response.
So I ask for help here.
Is the bachelor degree of science in pharmaceutical preparation different with Bachelor of Science degree in pharmacy, and Can I apply NOVA?

 

[go4it]

Still waiting...No respose from NOVA yet 🙁.

 

[rsk]

Hello every one
I got acceptance letter from NOVA for fall 2007 intl PharmD program.
Letter was postmarked April 30(sunday!) and It was a certified mail.
My hopes were very low as I had not submitted LORs from Pharmacist and Dean of Pharmacy college.

It looks like applicants with US masters degree made it to the list.This may not be 100% true.As far as I know people who have their US masters or pursuing a masters degree were given acceptance.

Here are my stats:

B.Pharm (GPA -- 3.76)
MS(Chemistry -- GPA 3.66)
LORs from 3 professors who taught me in MS program.

will be more than happy to guide all future applicants.Drop me a PM(private message) if you need advice/assistance.

Cheers
RSK😍

Hi gvsk,

I'm still waiting to hear back from NOVA as well. I called them on 05/07 and they said that my file is under review and they should have all the decisions made by end of May.

For Western applicants: Any news yet? It'll be two weeks since the interview this coming Friday.

whome did u call to find status....

they gave me an onlne pin and id to see srtatus but i cant see status in that

 

[go4it]

I spoke with a nice lady (sorry I don't remember her name) there..who looked up my application status using my name & id (usually every time I call, I get someone rude and just provides a general admission status, which is helpless). When I applied to NOVA, I applied using their online application and I had my online user id & pin since then, but it never shows that status of my application 🙁 .

That is RXXX @ ext 1123

I too had lots of questions while applying to Nova But no one was able to answer them.Best bet is to apply and see.worst case scenario your wallet will be lighter by $50.00!!

I think NOVA service is really bad~however it is the only chance for us international students~~~Western is too expensive. Anyway, I plan to visit NOVA personally to talk with officer face to face. Maybe they will answer my question.

One more thing, is there any guy from China? I am a chinese, graduated from CPU. Welcome to make friends.

 

[gvsk]

i did go personally to the univ in jan... 07. they said i cant speak to any one w/o takin any appointment.. i told em i cudnt make one cos no one answers the phones here..

so i took an apt at a designated time 10 days later and when i did call no one picked up


THAT WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL> I WONDER HOW THE EDUCATION LEVEL IS

 

[go4it]

Western U. applicants: Has anyone heard anything back from Western U yet? Its been two weeks since the interview & exam now and still no word.
