I submitted mine in early Dec, but havent heard anything from them, except that my file is complete!
 
My file was complete the first week of January. I still haven't heard anything yet either. I'm sure our invitations are in the mail. Yeah, the mail. That's got to be it.

oopsie... i didnt realize it was that extreme... ok never again 🙂 Yup just one person interviewing on the 10th! LOL
 
Are we supposed to get an email saying our file is complete? I emailed UT and asked but was told just to check my status online through their app. 😕

Yes, once your file is complete (Online application, fees, recomm. letter, transcripts, resume, etc.) then UT COP will send you an email notification.

I received an email from them saying my file is complete only after they received my transcripts from UT Main, which took a while.

You can go to the PharmD Online Application Login page and it'll show you your status.

And also the UT Eid page to check your UT Main app. status. https://utdirect.utexas.edu/utdirect/index.WBX
 
I heared from someone saying that they gonna sent out the letters on Feb 8th.

Is the file considered COMPLETE only after both the main app and COP app have been submitted? My MAIN app is not finished yet but I submitted my COP app a while ago.

Ok, I just read your post again, you said that your app was complete after COP received your transcripts from MAIN. My transcripts are already there, but they are waiting on 1 more essay.

holy crap. i was going to cry and then go check my mail only to cry again after not getting anything.
 
Yeah, Vicky, who knew Genuine could be so cruel. She seemed so normal in Amarillo. I say we call Mike Schettman and expose her dark side!!! :laugh:
 
who is genuine? i cannot match sdn screennames with real names.

mike did i tell you? my interviewer asked me a question about cocaine. or so i thought it was. halfway through answering the question, i had the epiphany that he probably said codeine. awesomee. he was probably like, who is this girl?!?!
 
Don't want to give up Genuine's secret identity without her permission, but let's just say that the second person in group D didn't seem evil 😡 when I first met her. So much for first impressions. 😀

(Actually she did seem a little crazy. I just didn't want to say anything. :scared: )
 
Cocaine, codeine...it's all the same, right. A painkiller is a painkiller.

Besides, if your interviewer was like mine, he/she was probably only half listening.

But now that you bring it up, what was the question? My hardest question was "Tell me about yourself."

Anyone get a letter today?
 
just spoke to a friend of mine who's helping with this whole app process. he said that the first round of interviews is the 17th and 18th. he also said that people with degrees usually get the first invites bc they were able to apply earlier bc they already had their pre-reqs in order. for a sophomore like me, i had to wait until after jan 2 when our registrar made our transcripts that included the fall semester available.

🙁

Guess that counts me out. I also had to wait until Jan. before my application was complete.

Bummer.
 
I submitted my COP application in around October but just submitted my Austin main application about a week ago. Does that mean they have not evaluated my COP application because w/o my main UT application, my file is not complete? So, I probably won't be in the first batch of interviewees?
 
Nothing from UT in the mail today, but I got a swell coupon from Time-Warner cable. Five great premium channels for only 19.95 a month! Yipee!!

You're killing me. 🙁
 
I just checked my e-mail and recieved an interview invite from UT!!!
 
I just checked my email, I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!!! HOOK EM!
 
mee too. what day/time are you guys doing? i was thinking the 10am-1pm. not too early not too late. plus i have class until 12 on friday.
 
I guess today is the day for SDN UT invitations. I'm hoping to go Saturday morning as well. Hope to see you guys there.
 
Hallelujah!!! I just got back from work and checked my email, I haven't even calmed down enough to read the whole mail... I'll see you guys there! 🙂
 
sooo exciting!!! that1guy, SEE YOU THERE!!
 
OK --I checked and no email---I am depressed!! Will anyone share their stat so I can see if I am 🙁 just out of it?? Thanks and good luck to all
 
If you do not feel comfortable giving your stats, would you just speculate as to what PCAT score and pre phamacy gpa you think is needed for Texas? I am starting to give up. Sorry for the negative tone but I am sure you know how difficult it is. Thanks again
 
Those of you who got interviews: CONGRATS!! 😀

Now I have 2 questions.

1) Does your MAIN app have to be completed before they even look at the COP app?
2) Are you all in state?
 
About being in-state, that is. Also, I am curious about stats (but who isn't). I knew it would be an uphill battle from the beginning, but I applied anyway... 🙂
 
What is everyone's first choice -- and why????

Did you hear from Texas???? I did not 🙁
 
I got one today too. Don't be discouraged, its still early in the game for UT. Given the size and ranking of UT i would guess (totally out of my a$$) than an 85+ pcat would be needed to stay competitive. And yes, your main app needs to be processed before your transcripts are forwarded to the pharmacy school.

Thanks for answering... do you know approximately how long it takes for MAIN to process the MAIN app before they send it on to COP? I am kinda upset b/c COP told me they would go ahead and process without MAIN... I had 1 essay left for the MAIN app which I put off till now b/c I thought it didn't matter...

Nope... I guess they don't have my MAIN app yet, see my post above. 🙁 Are you out of state too, like me?
 
starsweet, I did exactly what you did -- the only difference is that I'm in-state. So, I'm very upset too because I've only submitted my main app a few days ago, and COP has not received my transcripts although I submitted my app to them a long time ago.

Grrrrr.... I wish they weren't so freakin' inconsistent on the phone! 😡

Hey Louise Hall don't be depressed or get down.. i know it's easier said than done, but the fat lady is not singing yet.... even for those of us with interviews.... I don't really want to give too much information out just because I have this fear of the Ad. com reading these posts and figuring out who I am before they meet me BUT.. i will say my g.p.a is not impressive... but my p.c.a.t is good(90+).. i hope i haven't given away too much of myself(i'm paranoid 😳 )... Remember that what will be will be, and your stress level will not change that.

Thanks for the encouragement but I feel like the fat lady is starting to o. d. on M & M's. Your are correct because I can not change anything now but the waiting game is turning me into the fat lady. I can't even sing!!!! :laugh:

I recall the Main app taking about a month to process. That is from when I completed my Main app (after the pharm one) to when my transcripts were finally forwarded to the pharmacy school.
 
this is early in the review process. the priority deadline just passed and the final deadline has yet to pass. i feel like that means a lot of people haven't even applied yet. and you know how notorious ut is for taking their time. i wouldn't worry about it at all. i knew people who got in who were in the very last interview date.
 
my main app just went thru. i am hoping that i get a interview in the future! congrats to all of you guys! did any of yall finish up your pre-reqs in the fall? i think that that will be my biggest hold up! eekk!
