Incarnate Word COP Fall 2011
Started by NervousForSure
I don't think you have to worry too much about that, but if you're genuinely concerned you could send am e-mail to the address in the invitation e-mail just to be sure. After you chose your interview time did you get redirected to a page that said "Pharmacy Interview Appointment Calendar, Appointment Reserved Successfully"? If so I wouldn't worry about nobody knowing who you are when you arrive 😛
OMG, I just checked my e-mail I got an invite. So excited but nervous at the same time. I started sweating.lol! Anyways I signed up for the March 11 @ 2:30pm.
Does it matter if we chose a later interview date. I mean do they start accepting after the first batch of interviews or they wait until all the interviews are over to decide?

Didn't get an interview invite via email!! Anyone get one by mail yet??
I'd check out the school's interview feedback, the link is at the top of every SDN page.
I also got my interview at that time! goodluck to you. I hope all goes well.

I would either go to the "Pharmacy School-Specific Discussions" forum OR Student Doctor has this neat thing called "Interview Feedback" (top bar navigation) where I'm sure your questions can be answered!

States enrollment is 75.... so my guess is somewhere around there.
Yeah that is generally the problem with private schools, however after further review, here are my findings:
OIW really isn't that expensive compared to the other pharmacy schools in Texas. Also, I have been told that because they are private, there are more opportunities for scholarships.
All of the Texas Pharmacy schools range around 15-17K a semester for In-state students, in which OIW is competetively priced.
Here are the tuition websites for all Texas Pharmacy Schools:
Our Incarnate Word: http://www.uiw.edu/finaid/estimateyourcosts2.html
UT Austin: (going to have to add up hours.. fees not included) http://www.utexas.edu/business/accounting/sar/t_f_rates.html
Texas Tech: (keep in mind this does not include housing) http://www.ttuhsc.edu/sop/academicinfo/docs/2010-2011_Tuition_and_Fees.pdf
University of Houston: http://pharmacy.uh.edu/fs/pharmd/aid.php#cost
Texas Southern: (scroll down to pharmacy) http://em.tsu.edu/financialaid/cost.php
Texas A&M Kingsville: http://tamhsc.edu/education/finaid/forms1/cost-of-attendance/college-of-pharmacy-coa.html
Hope this helps! 🙂
If I am missing a school, please add it to the list!!

All school specific threads should be posted in this forum. Just a heads up.🙂
I live in Houston to, by any chance do you happen to go to the University of Houston? I think if you leave at 7am you should reach there on time. It's about a 3-4 hour drive.Good luck to you!
Yeah I live in Houston too, I don't goto UH but I am close to it. I am going to be leaving Thursday and staying the night that way I'm not frazzled the next day with trying to figure out where to go, what to eat, or if something goes wrong. I've found some decent hotels around the campus of OIW for around $50-60 a night. I think it is definitely worth the money for peace of mind 🙂

Just wondering where is OIW coming from? I swear it was called UIW (University of the Incarnate Word). Don't mean to be a dick just i go here and all🙂
woohoo booked my hotel room for Thurs and Friday night!! I'm gonna make a weekend out of it and spend Friday night on the Riverwalk with my fiancee 🙂
Can't wait to meet everyone there!
Does anyone know some what questions may be asked during the interview or writing prompt? Or what the critical analysis is like?

Oh wow.. I just received a postcard for an interview, but it was addressed to someone else. I tried emailing them about the situation, but they have yet to respond back to me.
I don't know if I should be excited or disappointed. I'm just full of mixed feelings.😕

Lol I had the same thing happen to me! Your name's not Amy is it?.......
I received my invite by e-mail way before the postcard. Have you checked your junk mail?
This happened to me too. I emailed them and they said not to worry. Their secretary messed up the names and addresses. As long as the email you received has all the correct info, then you are fine. But, if you have any more concerns email them.Oh wow.. I just received a postcard for an interview, but it was addressed to someone else.

Here is the email i received back from UIW:
[FONT=Arial,sans-serif][FONT=Arial Rounded MT Bold,sans-serif]We apologize for the error and thank you for the correction. Unfortunately, our secretary sorted a few names and addresses incorrectly that is why you received the wrong name with your address. Fortunately, you were invited for an interview. At this time that error is being addressed and once again thank you for your correction...
[FONT=Arial,sans-serif][FONT=Arial Rounded MT Bold,sans-serif] ..
[FONT=Arial,sans-serif][FONT=Arial Rounded MT Bold,sans-serif]Sincerely,..

How many people are invited to the interviews?
I did some rough math:
If interviews start at 9-12 & 2-5 on both days at 30 min intervals, then that is 12 slots for interviewing a day. Then if I remember correctly when signing up for a time, there were about 7-10 rooms per time slot. This totals 84-120 potential interviews a day. Then, there are 2 days, which comes to a total of 168-240.
I'm just taking a stab in the dark with the math lol. If anyone else has any real input let me know!!

I'm going to the March 11th one, in the afternoon. Just gonna drive there from Austin.
Good luck guys!
How did the interviews go?
Mine went great! I identified well with the essay prompt which was nice, the faculty that interviewed me made me feel at ease and comfortable, and the critical analysis was nothing to stress over.
So all in all, I was throughly happy with my overall process. There were a couple answers that I wish I would've expanded on. And I came up with better questions after I left the room, but it's all good. We all had butterflies in our stomaches lol.

Haha No.. Is your name Heidi?
I wish I can say I did, but I haven't received anything. Not even a rejection letter. The suspension is killing me here. lol
I still haven't recieved reply, but I did call them to see where I stood on the application status. They told me to disregard the postcard and wait. They were still reviewing applications and doing interviews so they couldn't tell me where I stand at the moment.
My concern is that the only known interview date available is coming pretty soon and I have yet to know where I stand. I feel like doing this at the moment..

So you didn't receive an email, just a post card? I would check your email... Including the junk folder! They told us at the interview that all the emails were sent correctly, but there was an error in the computer system that did the postcards. Best of luck!! I know it's stressful!!

Call them again tomorrow
Is the interview open file or closed file?
If you are asking if the interviewers have any previous knowledge of your file, then the answer is yes. They have reviewed your file before they interview you.
I'm interviewing then too! I'll see both you and drew there. Good luck to the both of you 😀
For those who interviewed last Friday, y'all received a list of your missing pre-reqs for the school. Are y'all following that list and completing what is missing or are yall folllowing the pre-req guide found on pharmcas? Only reason I'm asking is because some classes they listed were on pharmcas and not on the letter. I just wanted to drop the extra classes i'm taking if i dont need it.
good luck to you guys too. Will see you guys then..what time are you guys showing up? Im thinking about coming at 11 to walk around a bit
Good Luck to everyone interviewing tomorrow!!! I'm sure you will really enjoy your time at UIW! I was really impressed by the campus and faculty at my interview last weekend. The only advice I have is, be prepared for a LONG day and don't forget to be yourself!
