No kidding. I know I shouldn't be expecting a response this early necessarily, but the fact that I haven't heard anything (my stuff has been complete since the 19th) is making me nervous! I keep scouring over the institution websites looking for some indicator that some movement is occurring in the process. I can't wait to get back to rotations on Monday so I can stop thinking about this every other minute. 😕
For your letter you could take the stance of how actually being in retail you realized you could contribute more to the profession as a clinical pharmacist (mention if you've made interventions, how it's shaped your communication skills, what you've gotten from the past year and how that makes you a stand out candidate)..if you've applied before you could mention that this year confirmed your belief that in order to develop professionally and clinically you know that a residency at X place will help you do that/help you accomplish your goals... Personally I probably would mention the rotations in as equal weight but using them to frame how they gave you a different type of fulfillment you don't get in retail... or something like that.. /end ramble.
