So it's January already and I still haven't received any acceptance letters yet. Well, here's my story... Around Oct., I applied to UF, Nova, LECOM Bradenton, PBA, and South Univ. Then within a few weeks or less, I received interview offers from Nova, LECOM Bradenton, South, and then later PBA. Unfortunately, after weeks and months of waiting, I found out that I got waitlisted at Nova, South, PBA, and LECOM Bradenton. Although I was extremely discouraged and depressed, I pushed myself back up and tried my best to apply to more schools. So around Christmas time, I applied to LECOM Erie, Midwestern Glendale, Harding, and Mercer. So far, I just received interview offers from Midwestern and Harding... and one rejection letter from LECOM Erie. This is my third year applying and I really don't want to reapply again next year. My stats are as follows:
PharmCAS OGPA: 3.22
PharmCAS SGPA: 2.93
PCAT: taken in Aug 07 -- 80 percentile
B.S. in Biology (May 2007)
Currently working at Walgreens full time and retaking some classes at a community college. Just got certified at the beginning of Jan.
So my question is... what can I do to increase my chances of getting pulled off of the alternate list for the schools that I got waitlisted at? Write them a letter? I don't know what to do. But I know that they hate students calling their office frequently, so I'm avoiding that. Also, should I try to apply to more schools now (for the schools with March deadlines)? Or should I just concentrate on my upcoming interviews? Somehow I have a feeling that I will get waitlisted at those schools as well. I'm so stressed out about it. I don't know what is wrong with me... I thought I nailed every interview that I was at. Is it because of my GPA? I'm so confused! If I don't get in this year, then I really don't know what to do next year....
