Has anyone applied here? What's the interview process like? When can you expect a call back? I just applied through PharmCAS

I applied there. After my Pharmcas was verified, a week later they sent me an email for an interview. My interview is this Wednesday actually. From what they said the interview process is similar to USF: MMI interview, an essay, and a team building activity.
OK cool. If you don't mind me asking what are your qualifications. GPA PCAT score. I wanna see how competitive I am

Why on earth would you guys want to go to this overpriced, diploma mill pharmacy school? Seriously, it could close down anytime and you'd be screwed out of whatever tuition you paid! Plus, if you guys don't go to this school, then Larkin would be closed down, freeing more jobs and making the job market slightly better! USE COMMON SENSE AND STOP THESE GREEDY PHARMACY SCHOOLS!
I realize it is uncommon for a Dean of a College of Pharmacy to respond to this list, but when I see inaccurate statements that may effect someone's decision to join our amazing community, I feel I must. We are not a diploma mill. If we were, or any COP for that matter, ACPE would not grant pre-candidate status. The definition of a diploma mill is:
DIPLOMA MILL- The term `diploma mill' means an entity that--
(A)(i) offers, for a fee, degrees, diplomas, or certificates, that may be used to represent to the general public that the individual possessing such a degree, diploma, or certificate has completed a program of postsecondary education or training; and (ii) requires such individual to complete little or no education or coursework to obtain such degree, diploma, or certificate; and
(B) lacks accreditation by an accrediting agency or association that is recognized as an accrediting agency or association of institutions of higher education (as such term is defined in section 102) by--
(i) the Secretary pursuant to subpart 2 of part H of title IV; or (ii) a Federal agency, State government, or other organization or association that recognizes accrediting agencies or associations.
The dictionary defines a diploma mill as:
An institution of higher education operating without supervision of a state or professional agency and granting diplomas which are either fraudulent or because of the lack of proper standards worthless. - Webster's Third New International Dictionary
You can find lists of diploma mills at Diploma Mills and Accreditation - Diploma Mills
As for tuition, since our students only pay for three years as opposed to four, our tuition and fees are within the lowest 25th percentile of all private colleges of pharmacy in nation. We can provide individual statistics to anyone or they can easily be found through AACP.
Additionally, it is not true that ACPE would shut down any program for not achieving Candidate Status the first time. As a matter of fact, a college can be continued as Pre-Candidate. Regardless, we recently had our Candidate comprehensive site visit from ACPE which was also observed by a member of the Florida Board of Pharmacy. There are 25 Standards that we were graded on. We achieved "Competency" or "Competency with Continued Monitoring" all 25 Standards. Those are the two of four grades that are positive. Meaning we did not receive any negative findings ("Partially Compliant" or "Non Complaint") on any of the 25 Standards. This is an excellent outcome. Therefore, when the ACPE Board meets in late June, we fully expect to be granted Candidate status, however, we can not know for sure until the Board meets.
I hope that if any one feels that they are being fed misinformation, or even of they just want further clarification, that they would either contact us at [email protected] or even comment directly to me, the Dean. We also welcome visits at any time. Our students will tell you that we are a thriving and growing university that places the interest of the students first.
Wow, how desperate must you be to post on a pre-pharmacy forum about students trashing your school. I've never seen any respectable professional program respond to posts on social media sites trying to back up their curriculum. What a joke. Let your stats speak for your school not a bunch of "definitions".
ALso why are you even OPENING this school? To combat the need of pharmacy schools in the state of Florida? Can't be that since Florida has to be one of the most saturated states after California and Pennsylvania. We have USF, FAMU, NOVA, LECOM, PBA, and UF which has four campuses for a grand total of NINE pharmacy schools. We have absolutely no need for a tenth. This school is a cash grab and nothing else. You care absolutely nothing about your students, their future job prospects, and the propsect of the pharmacy profession as a whole. Also good luck getting your students any kinds of jobs in the Miami area. Not only are there not any jobs, most of them basically require the ability to speak spanish considering the massive hispanic popuplation down there.
