Is it true that you can call up a pharmacy school and see what your chances are of getting an interview and/or acceptance?

I had someone tell me my chances of getting an interview were good before I even had my application in.

Not sure where you are, but the state schools in CA wouldn't do that.... I've never done it, and never considered asking (they will remember your name) but I guess it might be an approach to take. A more research oriented approach is to look at the statistics of the school and its applicant pool and the # of people they admitted, and see where you lie within the given stats. However, stats are just numbers and there's no saying that just b/c you have a 3.9 gpa you are in, just as true that you can never say that if you finished a JC that you are at a 'disadvantage'. I don't believe that to be all that cut and dry.

That said, I knew of someone at UOP who, at his interview, somehow got into a discussion with the people in the administration and was granted admission on the day (or VERY soo after) her interview. Interesting.
