I think I turned in all my application requirements in early Dec. They said we'll hear back after the interview in 6-8 weeks.
I dont think I'll be getting in this year though...felt I did really bad on the professor interview and essay questions. Dont think I was very prepared. Will try again next year though...learn from my mistakes right? 🙂

new...

creighton university - 2/25

👍 How long after they had all your stuff did it take to get the interview request?

 

[skp]

a long time!

did my supplemental in Oct/Nov? (I think)...
i think they had my pharmcas and pcat a week before new years.
i send my transcipts for 2nd sem. to pharmcas as soon as they were available to me as well.
but, i don't think creighton considered my app. complete until they got every last thing from pharmcas - which was about 2 weeks ago.
maybe they go slower b/c they have such a late deadline - March 1st isn't it?

 

[jemc2000]

maybe they go slower b/c they have such a late deadline - March 1st isn't it?

Yes, March 1. And they state that they do not look at your application until your file is complete and EVERYTHING has to be to them by the deadline. I still need an instructor to complete my letter of reference. 🙁

 

[skp]

want me to slash his tires? 😀

According to their website, you need to submit the applications (PharmCAS ans Creighton Supp) by March 1, but then you have until April 1 to get all the supporting materials in to the school (although you might not want to tell your prof that if he/she is a procrastinator 🙂🙂 )

UNM (New Mexico)---------------March 5th,2005 😀
Anybody heard about the interview process in that school?

 

[lgooden]

🙂 UIC - Sometime during spring break (they seem to like to be vague about things)

Will prob decline though...

I have received an interview at every school I applied to (8) except Ohio State 🙁 🙁 🙁
no rejection yet though....

Why do they hate me? 😕 🙁 😕

 

[TCB]

lgooden why are you complaining ?? you got 8 interviews, some people didn't even get 1 !!!! oh no, you're bragging about it.

 

[lgooden]

I am not trying to brag at all TCB. I am just really truly confused as to why if other schools offered me an interview why the school I want to go to the most, in my home state, in the city where I grew up where I have been communicating, networking etc with people for a while has not offered me an interview. Does that make any sense? I really sorry if it came off like I am bragging, I am just very frustrated. I don't really know many other people in pre-pharmacy at my school so this is where I come to vent. I promise for you and anyone else out there that got the same impression that I will try to keep my thoughts/worries to myself and only express them aloud to my boyfriends gecko b/c I'm sure it won’t mind. Sorry 🙁 Best of luck in all your future endeavors. 🙂

 

[TCB]

lgooden sorry about my comments ...

Hi, I just came back from the interview with OSU on 2/26. According to Heather, we are about midway in the interview process (we are the 6th interview session, and there will be another 5 to 6 interview session with ~20 students per session). Most of the interviews will be conducted in March and April, and the latest date you should be able to know about the admission decision is by the end of April. So hang in there, there is still time 🙂

 

[lgooden]

Thanks camellia. How far in advance did you get your invitation before the interview?

 

[Glycerin]

lgooden why are you complaining ?? you got 8 interviews, some people didn't even get 1 !!!! oh no, you're bragging about it.

That's a lovely thing to tell someone. 🙄 Last time I checked, perception and connotation of what one reads is subjective and dependent upon the reader. 😎

lgooden, congratulations on all of your interview invitations. I understand how exciting it can be. 🙂 Don't give up hope just yet on OSU. Sometimes good things come to those who wait. 😉

 

[camellia]

Thanks camellia. How far in advance did you get your invitation before the interview?

I sent in my supplemental application in mid November and got an interview invitaion around 12/20 for the interview on 1/14 or 15. I had to postpone it to Febuary due to personal issues.

Hey! I have been registered with SDN for a few months, just never posted anything. This forum is so helpful to future pharmacists, future physicians, etc. I have been blessed to receive 2 interviews thus far, out of the 4 schools I applied too. One school doesn't require an interview, so I am patiently waiting for one more invite. I have already interviewed at MCV and will be interviewing at Hampton University School of Pharmacy on 3/10/05. The admissions rep. called me today and said that they have been trying to contact me since Feb. 1, 2005. They were calling my house to schedule the interview and luckily when they called today my mother was there to give them my school phone number. I am elated about my 2nd interview and I am optimistic that everyone will get through this process smoothly. God Bless.

[smilinh]

i'm not bragging, i'm not complaining, i'm just in shock.

As of yesterday, I only had two interviews...UCSF and UOP. I applied to Western and USC but never heard back from them, so I pretty much assumed that they didn't want me. I had built an attachment toward the first school that accepted me- uop.

Then...today, I got a call from Western for an interview. Then later when I got home, I got a letter from USC for an interview! I should be excited...and I know some point later I will be, but right now, I am just so shocked that I finally got interviews from them. Schools are so unpredictable.

 

[lgooden]

THE Ohio State University!!!! 4/8 or 4/9!!!! 😀 🙂 😀

 

[trishias]

THE Ohio State University!!!! 4/8 or 4/9!!!! 😀 🙂 😀

[lgooden]

Thanks trishias! Definitely OSU 😀 , I'm not going to the interview at UIC.

 

[Glycerin]

THE Ohio State University!!!! 4/8 or 4/9!!!! 😀 🙂 😀

OMG!!! CONGRATULATIONS, smilinh! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Good luck at both!! I'm sure you will (or did) do well! 👍 My friend, who had pretty good stats and went to UCLA, applied 3 years ago to Western, but he didn't receive an invitation for interview
