I was just wondering if anyone received an interview offer from Thomas Jefferson for future dates. I think they're up for review at the ACPE meeting next week, may be they're waiting until they get precandidate status before the next batch of interviews.

Saturday, January 19, 2008
Friday, January 25, 2008
Saturday, February 16, 2008
Monday, February 25, 2008

I searched the forum and interview feedback and didn't see any info about how the interview is set up, can anyone provide some info? was it one on one interviews... group... essay involved? group discussions? anything will be helpful. Thank you!

it's 1 on 1, no written portion

they last 30 minute seach ...you interview twice--once w/ a faculty of the pharmacy school (i interviewed w/ the dean of the school of pharmacy), the other with the dean of admissions

then you take a tour of the campus and hospital and then go home. they split you into two groups at the beginning though, the first half goes to the tour, the other half does interviews

I was just wondering if they filled those spots...bc I didn't hear anything back from them, and it's on the top of my list...🙁

why don't you try emailing them to see your status. I sent them my supp in the middle of december and got a letter stating that they will review my file after the new year. then surprisingly i got the email interview invite on 1/3. I was out of the country until the 8th so didn't see my invite until then... emailed them my first choice being the 19th of this month and got the response for the date right away. So it seems to me they haven't filled up all those spots yet. Again it doesn't hurt to contact them. good luck.

Hey Guys,

I had my interview with them on January 7th I believe. The people there are really nice and approachable. As it was previously stated above, you have 2 30 min interviews, one with a person from the admissions office, and one from a faculty member of the school.

I'm not too sure when the next round of interviews are.. but from the first round of interviews... we are supposed to hear back some time after the 20th of this month.

I believe they are supposed to find out if they got pre-candidate status by this past sat.

Good luck to everyone.

I just got an interview invite by email today. I thought their minimum PCAT is 70% on PharmCAS. My GPA is about average but PCAT is below that minimum. I probably choose February SATURDAY as my first choice because I have Spring classes. I don't want to miss it.

Did anyone submit application but have NOT received the interview? Just wonder if they interview everyone..

I just wanted to know approx how long was it between when your application was complete until the interview invite email. I have been waiting forever for some type of response from them, and just wanted to know a time frame,
THanks

Submitted--around September - October --2007
Completion of file --- probably around January 2008. They were probably waiting for my foreign transcript eval (received the notification by mail last week)
E-mail for interview invitation-today.

I haven't received any notification, but I called yesterday and the woman told me that I was being reviewed by a counselor. AAAHHH!!!

I believe they just sent out their first wave of acceptance offers.
