GPA at least 3.6 and PCAT 75 minimum. Interview is VERY important.

I received an interview invite a couple of weeks ago and my GPA is about a 3.6 with a PCAT composite of 54 (but biology and chemistry both above 70). I personally do not think my stats are that great and so I think the school really looks at the whole individual (experience, volunteer work, etc.)

Are you an LIU student?

Nope, just graduated with my bachelors from Uconn.

For students who received interview invites already: They have some things other than the Pharmcas application they ask for like the background check, etc. Did you guys do that? I just submitted my application and I am already an LIU student (undergrad) so I didn't think I would have to do anything else

I completed my interview on 1/17, and received an envelope which contains instructions, and paperwork for both a drug test and background investigation; we were instructed to wait until our acceptance letters arrive (mid February) before initiating the appropriate actions to complete the mentioned tasks.
