For those that got accepted, would you mind posting your stats? 🙂 I am interviewing on Oct 26th and I am very nervous 
MWU-CPG c/o 2016
- Thread starter badboyz2005
- Start date
I was incredibly nervous, and it is definitely not warranted. These are nice people interviewing you, they are potential future colleagues and friends, so go in there with this in mind. They don't want to see you fail, they aren't going to pick you apart.
The interview committee is going to ask you a few questions to get to know you and it will all be over very quickly. A 30 minute interview sounds like forever, but it flew by so fast I was actually disappointed when the interview was over because I wanted to talk more.
It's your time to brag about yourself to a group of people who want to see you go to the school they teach at. Remember, they invited you there for a reason! Of course go over the standard interview questions so you can answer intelligently, but don't think they are going to be giving you a curveball just to watch you sweat.

I submitted PharmCAS and am waiting to get the supplemental info..anyone know if they save seats for later on in the cycle or how many seats are left?
I don't know. If MWU-CPG is still interviewing later on in the cycle, then there are still seats.
Still no change in my portal. 🙁
Current MWU-CPG students, if any of you all are lurking, do you all know how (via portal, email, snail mail?) those who are wait listed or rejected will be notified?

I'm in CPG 2015 and for my class I had a friend who submitted at the last deadline in Feb?(can't recall exactly but they extended it a few months from january) and he finally got in around march. So don't worry it's not too late. Also I'm not sure about wait listed but my other friend who got rejected was snail mail.
That's...great..and good to know. Did it show up on his portal or did he just find out when he received his letter via snail mail? I called them Friday and they said that they have yet to make a decision...

Oh if you meant find out about acceptance it was via portal. That's the fastest way to find out of acceptance.
Thats horrible. And yeah, it is killing me! I just want to know now! And Thank you! Do you go to MWU now??

Yeah it sucked. He got in another school eventually so it's all good 🙂. That's how I felt too lol, was checking my portal every 30min for a week. No problem! Yup! I am a first year there 🙂
That's good! All it takes is one school! haha. And yeah, that's like me now but they told us that their really quick on their decisions and we should know in two weeks. It's been two weeks already so I'm worried.

Yeah exactly haha. Ah I see, then I'm sure you will find out soon. Here's hoping for good news.
Thank you! You and me both! 🙂 Did everyone who interviewed two weeks ago hear back already?
Yes, the portal changed for me on Monday night and got a phone call on Wednesday. Hope you hear good news soon!
I am wondering the same thing. Did the people who haven't heard back heard back over the weekend? Please let us SDN interviewees know if any of you all had a change in your portal recently. Thanks!

You may be on hold for an interview due to the PCAT scores (or other factors). I'd just keep studying and trying to improve that to the best of your ability. It's never over until you give up, so just keep trying!

I was told last year by the assistant dean that if your PCAT composite percentile was less than 50, you were not making it through their computer's screenings. I don't know if that has changed or not.

Hey, I know this info was helpful and encouraging to me before interviewing, so here are my stats:
3.57 Science | 3.62 Math | 3.52 overall | 80 composite on the PCAT.
I have a B.S. in business from a state school, but took most of my pharmacy pre-reqs at my local community college.
When you interview just be truthful, and show the admissions folks you have looked into the program, and are interested in studying at MWU. As others have stated, they are mainly looking at your communication skills, and personality attributes - so just be yourself. Also, it wouldn't hurt to think about how you are going to phrase an answer to the most common of interview questions: "Why pharmacy". Getting an interview means you are more than half-way there! Good luck!
Hi guys!
I never got an email saying that I am invited for an interview until I checked the portal website thing today, which is really weird and I'm kinda confused. The current available interview dates are Nov 9, 12, and 13.
So, I went ahead and chose an interview on Friday, Nov 9.
Never mind. I just got an email... at midnight -.-

Hey, will you be able to tell me how did the interview process go? I'm kind of nervous
Sure thing. It seems like everyone gets nervous on the big day. Think of it this way, everyone else is in the same boat you are in and you already have impressed the school enough to warrant an interview. Think of the interview as a chance to show them who you are and why you would be a great fit there.
The interview day itself was spaced apart so you had time to relax between events. It starts off meeting in a room with others that are waiting for the orientation to start. Next, the dean will give you a presentation giving an overview of the students and facilities. From there you either are selected for the first interview slot or group tour. After you finish whatever you were selected to, you switch to the other thing. At the end of the day, you have lunch and head home.
Group tour was quick enough to have time to hang around before the next activity. The interview was 3 faculty to 3 students. Basic questions were asked. They posed the questions so that each person had a turn to answer, rather than a free-for-all. Review the interview feedback page and you should have a solid foundation.
Good luck!

Aw really? How much time do they give us for the writing prompts? What do you think is the average response length for the questions are? I'm really excited and nervous at the same time 😀 Thank you for any advices & help guys!
You pick 1 of the 2 writing questions and they ask you to limit your answer to 100 words or so. You have plenty of time to do the essay. You get there early in the am, talk to a current student, listen to the dean's presentation, then 1 group goes to interviews and the other 2 groups go on a campus tour. I think I had about 2 hours between the tour and my interview. The essay took me about 10 minutes.
I just got an interview invite today for December 11 or 12!
Do you guys think there's a better chance if I get the interview on the earlier date? haha
I have class Mondays and I don't want to rush it by leaving to Arizona Monday night for the interview the next morning at 7:45

Congrats!!! There's still nothing for me on the portal website 🙁
The admission committee meets on Fridays. So either day is good for you. Best of luck!!!
Thanks! Everyone was so friendly yesterday, I think we had a good group. I have my fingers crossed for you!
