hey guys, i see an interview thread and a roll call thread.. is there an official rejection thread? i just got my first rejection it is from Albany 🙁

Albany is very hard for transfer students. They just want your $100 application fee. Can you tell us your gpa?

 

[Rxgrrl]

I'm so sorry! 🙁 Don't let it get you down--keep on trying! How many other schools did you apply to?

 

[Scrubs Fan]

yeah, very sorry to hear. what state are you from? i'm thinking of applyiing there too but i haven't even started my app for it. if you don't mind, could you tell us your stats?

keep your head up. there are other schools out there and it's just part of the process. you'll get in
Good Luck, Cheers

I just want to tell you that.. last year I applied near deadline (one week prior).. I called Albany to ask them about chances of getting in at that point. The person looked at my PharmCAS and said yes and told me to mail $100. Not one week after receiving my money they gave me a rejection. Albany... it was an unethical move... and a very uncool one. It's also the only school I know of that charges that much for supplementary... and I'm not sure even why they need that much other than being capital pigs.

Don't let rejection get you down. It's a part of the process and one that is normal. Keep your chin up.

I the the University of Southern Nevada application fee is around 150

It's OK, I received my 1st rejection from MCPHS-Worcester last week. I also came on the board and saw some people get interview invites the same day. Hey, at least they were consistent with the updates.

I guess the easiest thing to say is "Ehhh, I didn't really want to go there anyways." 😀

i recently got a rejection letter from albany as well.

Do you mind if you tell me your stat? I applied PCPHS last week. I am just wondering.

 

[hopingstar]

does anyone know what is the average GPA Albany accepted last year?
My current GPA : 3.82 ( 110 quarter credit hour)

What is my chance to get in?

 

[Rxgrrl]

I'm not trying to be rude--but please don't act as if a 3.82 is a bad GPA--if you are being serious--then you should have NO problem getting in at all.. 🙄

rxgrrl, i know how you feel. it's frustrating to hear it all the time.

anyone remember that scene in Top Gun? where Tom Cruise is afraid to fly b/c Goose died, and then Viper tells him "Look, I"m not here to blow sunshine up your a$$."

yeah, great line.

Tivon, please be a little more empathetic in your response in the future. Something like "We're sorry to hear about the news, but keep your hopes up and don't stop trying!" would help.

did you just tell someone how to respond?

I don't think he was that mean, maybe a little bitter but to be honest, his comment helped me. I am a little more cautious to send out my apps to certain schools b/c maybe infact they do just want your app fee. Now, it would be nice to know their stats (whoever as the one rejected) so the rest of us know if it is worth it to apply.

To me, that's what this forum is about, get info from other people to help us make decisions for our own applications. Money doesn't grow on trees, and if we can save a few bucks from not sending to one school, then we can use that money for applying to another school.

OP,

Rejection is part of the process. You can't expect to get into every school that you apply to. So don't sweat it. I'm pretty sure you've prepared yourself for it as we all do.

If things don't go your way, just hang on. If the desire is there to get into a pharmacy school, then it doesn't matter which one. You'll do fine.

GL bro.

I applied to MCPHS-Worcester as well, they just sent me a letter telling me that my application is complete and up for review. How long did you have to wait for a response?

do you mind telling me what your stats are.. and if you are in-state??
