oOo. Well, good luck to everyone who's already submitted or still waiting to submit! I can't wait for school to start to get my mind off of waiting.

I'd say maybe wait until next month when some applicants get early invites from schools with rolling admissions.

I'm sure you are going to be one of those applicants, I am cheering for you this application cycle !

Thanks, I'm sure you're over qualified based on your academic background and extracurricular activities. I know you would've gotten accepted to somewhere if you applied to more schools last year, knowing that UCSF and UCSD are two tough schools to get in. Who knows, hopefully we might bump into each other on interview days this time around. But seriously, what set me back from getting accepted to one of the schools last year was my interview. 🙁 Oh well, I guess I can always use that experience to improve myself in this application cycle.

What happened in your interview? (If you don't mind me asking that is) I'm hoping to get an interview and am petrified of screwing this up!

Oh, nothing disastrous happened during my interview. It's just that I realized that I could have given better responses after the interview. Actually, it went ok but interview is not one of my strengths.

 

[phuang06]

Do you get interview invites via snail mail?

I've been there too..in my interview i thought i could've given better responses....and also it was my 1st interview so I was nervous too.....

Do you get interview invites via snail mail?

Generally, yes. You will get into the habit of checking your mail religiously...

It depends on the school though. Some will invite you via email, phone, or regular snail mail.

 

[cinnamoroll12]

That's what I did around Christmas time for the interview invite letter from UCSF last year. Either way, I ended up getting rejected without an interview. Well, I have completed a total of 5 apps so far, so now I've been stalking my email account every 10 minutes since I applied to schools with rolling admissions. I guess they should be reviewing the apps pretty soon.

VCU - Sept 27th AS WELL! I guess we will be seeing each others......this is weird! They don't have my PCAT score yet...I took it in august....whats going to happen!?!?!?!?!

Yeah they don't actually have my PCAT score either lol. I too took it in August. The 27th is actually quite close to the time when the score may be released. I'm really unsure as to whether I would rather just go to the interview not knowing what I got/will get.

I see it as an opportunity to show them my personality and have that be an influence over them just in case my PCAT doesn't go as well as I would have hoped.

EDIT:: Yeah I was Early Decision kampungboy

 

[etherealx85]

i'm from out of state and submitted pharmcas 8/31...taking the pcats in oct. haven't heard from vcu yet...😕

 

[PrePharmDD]

Have a question. Interview is a must for everybody? I'm planning to apply to LIU. They have the following information on the website: "Personal interviews will be required for selected candidates only." What does they mean by selected candidates? Did anybody get in without an interview?

 

[phuang06]

Awesome! I am at VT currently. Gotta start getting prepared for this... haha

Yayyy! I'm sure it's fine that they don't have your PCAT score yet, even though it will play a role in the final decision when they do receive it. Good luck guys!!

There are some instances with people with incredible stats that are just given an acceptance, but from what I have seen, it is only from OOS people with a very long commute.

General rule of thumb is that you don't get in without an interview, but an interview doesn't guarantee admission.

Confusing I know haha.

It means that if you're not SELECTED for an interview, you WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED for an open seat. Your application will be thrown out; and based on information from last cycle, LIU did not even respond to a good number of people, which I feel is extremely inconsiderate.
No one gets in without an interview, so if you're selected for one, you're in the running pool but not guaranteed a spot. Not everyone selected for an interview gets accepted.
Hope that clears things up for you.

 

[PrePharmDD]

thnx, so it's better to recieve an invitation.

bklyngirl, are you applying to LIU?

How long usually the interview lasts?

 

[cd87]

mercer, sept 26th!

 

[lychee719]

Got my Touro interview invite yesterday! Do we just call in the office to set up an appointment cuz it says on the letter that you can come any available date, but the dates aren't listed =P

When did you turn in your supplemental if you don't mind me asking. Thanks in advance!

 

[crazy4eck]

i just e-submitted my pharmcas to touro in the beginning of sept. do you think that's too late? how soon after u submitted pharmcas did touro invite you to do the supplemental? and how soon after the supplemental submission did u get invited to the interview? (if you dont mind me asking :0) ) thanks!

 

[bklyngirl]

thnx, so it's better to recieve an invitation.

bklyngirl, are you applying to LIU?

Yes, I will be applying, but not because I'm crazy about this school. It's only because I desperating want to get into a pharmacy program, and I'd rather stay in NYC if possible. There is no other program in NYC that will accept transfers, and Touro is out of the question for me until the 2009 application cycle, as I need to meet all their prerequisites first.
I'd prefer to stay home while in pharmacy school, but LIU does not seem to be a very professional establishment. They don't even have the decency to respond to many of their applicants - and like I've said before, even your top tier ivy league schools have the decency to respond to each and every application, with an acceptance or denial letter. That's the way it should be, as every applicant spends their time and money on preparing their application and deserve a response in return.
I'd probably be much happier at Wilkes or SUNY Buffalo, and if I'm fortunate enough to get into either of these schools, I should definitely go and deal with the commuting/traveling factor.
Good luck with your applications!🙂

How did they contact you? I deleted an email on my Blackberry today by accident and I could have sworn it said Nova. It might have been wishful thinking though...

Do you mind telling us your stats? I'm kind of worried about not getting an interview invite because of that this year.

 

[199778]

Do you mind telling us your stats? I'm kind of worried about not getting an interview invite because of that this year.

let's say, being out of state, you have to get top grades. The letter said I didn't meet their minimum science GPA. I am sure they won't take me even if I had the minimum because my PCAT were in the 70s.

On the other hand, my boyfriend got accepted there last year, but declined to go to UMB. He had ~3.5 GPA, 90 PCAT, and good recommendations. That guaranteed him an interview, and he went in Feb. I think he mentioned there was a group interview, written essays and a brief tour of the campus.

GOOD LUCK on those going to the interviews! 😉

 

[alenadoma]

All of this is making me so nervous, people already have interviews?? The schools just got my materials today!!
