wuttupppp payal! i hate you. hahaha. jk. congrats on your acceptance! i'm on the waitlist for now sooooooo cross your fingers for me! have you decided to go there for sure? 👍

I was debating for a bit, whether I wanted to stay in Cali or not but I wanted to go to school in Chicago for a long while so I ultimately picked it!

I hope you get in, it'll be really awesome to see you there!🙂

hey whoopya just wondering what ur stats were and how u found out you were pulled from the waitlist. Thanks

 

[Pharmaddict]

I'm In! =)

Congrats whoopya03, must be feeling great! I'll ask the same question as above as I am still on waitlist!

Congrats once again!

 

[whoopya03]

heyyy thanks guys. to be honest i dont really remember my stats all that much. i believe my cum gpa was around a 3.2...i think science was a 3.0. for the pcats...i didn't do too hot but after the third time i was able to get all my scores in the 80s.

dont lose hope. there's still a chance. i was actually giving up and was ready to reapply...but then i got a phone call then the email. it was the best day ever! i got so drunk last night celebrating...haha.

here's a hint...keep bugging them. the more you bug them, the more they are likely to pull u off the list because of your continuing interest.

 

[PharmD86]

has anyone else on the waitlist heard anything yet?

 

[Pharmaddict]

I am in the same situation as you are! I am waiting too... but a little less stressed though as I got in somewhere else! Good Luck with waiting... would love to get in to MIdwestern though!

 

[DeterminedGal09]

Everyone who got accepted to downers grove, what was your stats?
Also, does anyone know the average stats for the school?

 

[Pharm517]

Hi everyone. I was on the waitlist and just got pulled off from it right now. Still debating whether i should go. I have already made all the preparation to go to UMKC Pharmacy School. Good luck to everyone else!

 

[PharmD86]

hey Pharm517 just wondering what your stats were? Thanks and congratulations

 

[Pharm517]

My stats are:

undergrad GPA: 2.75 (w/o anatomy, Physci, microbio grades, which i got As)
afterwards: redid ALL of Ochem, Gchem, and Bio at a community college and got all A.
pharmacy work experience: Hospital experience for 6 months, retail clerk for 1 year, as a technician for 1 year.

If you have a low GPA dont give up, just retake your classes and be honest to them why you messed up. It happens to everyone, but show them u're willing to change.

I applied to 15 schools, got 5 interviews, waitlist on 2 and accepted to 3

good luck!

 

[PointBreak]

I got pulled this morning and now i'm in........

 

[PharmD86]

Hey Pointbreak congratz on getting in just wondering what your stats were and when you interviewed? Thanks

 

[PointBreak]

At the time of my interview, my stats were:

GPA: 2.8 something
PCAT: 79 composite

As of right now, my cumm gpa is probably a 2.9 or something.

 

[pharmgurl25]

This is a message to never give up hope. Ive been on the waiting list since November and just got pulled on Friday. Good luck to you all! 😀

 

[PharmD86]

Thanks Pharmgurl and congratz it's really hard waiting and I can only imagine how good you feel...I've been on the list since december...but just wondering what your stats were and whether you are in-state...It's seems as though most of the kids being pulled are comin from Cali...Thanks

 

[pharmgurl25]

Thanks PharmD86! Yes it was really hard to be on the wait list for so long but I just tried to keep thinking positive and had to hope that I would eventually get in. I live in Illinois about 30 minutes away from the campus so Im excited about that. Here are my stats:
Overall GPA: 3.6
Science GPA: 3.5
PCAT: 84 (although the first time I took it I got a 63)
Pharmacy Experience: 2 years in November
PTCB Certified Technician

I wish you the best of luck getting in. It seems like theyve been pulling several people lately so hopefully you wont have to wait much longer! 🙂

Wow, you got waitlisted with those stats? I also interviewed in November with pretty similar stats. I find the ADCOM's requirements for admissions are hard to decipher because someone with far worse stats than you got in during the January interviews.

I was waitlisted with nearly perfect stats. Midwestern seems to favor practical pharmacy experience and a good interview much more than academics. I have minimal pharmacy experience (did research instead) and my interview was less than perfect. After about three months, though, MWU did accept me.

I had no pharmacy experience (only research) and was accepted right away. I interviewed in November, accepted in December. My stats are good, too. 97 PCAT and 3.6 GPA, BS in Bio. Though I thought I did a good job in the interview...

hey there, sorry to bring up this slightly old thread - but i was wondering, do you need a valid pharmtech license to be admitted to midwestern CCP?

on their webpage they list the requirement "submit pharmtech license", so i was just wondering. i recently found out UIC requires a pharmtech license as well..so i scratched it off my list.

 

[timbutt2]

Well you don't nn to be PTCB certiftified if that's what you're thinking-but you have to get the license thru the IDPFR...

[mshiz21]

ohh i see! so its not that you have to complete the lengthy pharmtech course and get certified..lol. you just have to have a license for the experiential part of the pharmD curriculum? how exactly do you obtain that/which link on that page would apply to a student who is hypothetically admitted to the 2009 program?

ah that must've been what they meant for UIC as well. yikes..thanks so much haha

 

[Illinigirl09]

Its essentially just a $40 fee, and they send you a license. You're not "certified" until later. But the license is all that is necessary to begin working as a pharm tech in Illinois.
