your stats look so good. i cannot figure out what they were thinking when they said no to you. my stats are definitely not as good as yours...i guess that can't be good news for me. they have only contacted me to tell me i am missing a course, which i am not. they are the only school having problem with satisfying this class. anyway...sorry to hear about your rejection...maybe you did not finish your bachelor's degree...i don't know..

U have a very good stat. I think the only reason they fail you is your GPA. Most students are accepted with thier GPAs between 3.4 and 3.8. You definitely have to improve your GPA.🙂
 
thanks! i really hope i will get in but u never know..im preparing for the worst and hoping for the best lol i already switched my major to a double major Biochem/Chem. so if worst comes to worst ill be here at campbell next year and ill get my two B.S. degrees and come cocked and ready next year! 😀
Best luck to you, you mostly have a chance to get in when they call you. I would say 80% unless you screw up the interview. Just prepare for the interview, be confident.
 
5 minutes-- how do you know what gpa they are looking for? have you been accepted to them?
 
perhaps you were saying that schools in general usually accept people with such a gpa. i thought you were saying specifically LECOM. I thought you were already accepted at LECOM.
 
🙁 well i too got my first rejection letter from MCPHS Worcester [?] campus....its a bummer getting that first rejection 🙁

What are ur stats? I just finished writing the bajillion essays they require and I'm about to submit. :scared:
 
the rejection from Lecom Erie was BEFORE interview... havnt heard back yet from Lecom Fl
my stats:

3.5GPA
major biology/minor psychology
pharmacy tech over a year
hospital pharmacy volunteer
pcat comp. 59... 🙁 retaking oct. 20th

What? They don't even wait for OCTOBER PCAT😡? It's so rude. Did you update them telling them that you will retake PCAT in August? Maybe I should wait for the result for my OCT PCAT before sending supplemental application to them.!!😡
 
Well to those of you who have less than stellar GPA's like myself, I have one thing to say: don't ever give up. I received my first interview invitation today from UACP and I know that it doesnt automatically mean that I'm in, but it does give me hope and proves that this road can be taken by many different routes.

what was your gpa if you don't mind? and congrats on the interview
 
i already did...its in this thread
 
Sigh... Palm Beach and just got one from Campbell. Still counting. 🙁
 
They didn't send me a rejection letter. I just can't complete the secondary, which pretty much amounts to the same thing. After I received the letter saying that I am not invited to fill out the secondary app, I emailed the school to find out why. They told me my science gpa was low. So... I'm pretty sure that I've been rejected. Hope that answered your question. 😛
what was your science gpa?

how did you find out? in an email or letter? i've been waiting to hear from campbell for awhile... =(
 
hey rx, i would agree with u that u should take ur PCAT again. i have a lower GPA than you are, but my PCAT is between 80-90. I have 3 interviews offered to me so far, and 1 rejection (guess what..i is touro hahaha).
i think i am going to retake the PCAT in january and see what happens...i know this wont be reviewed but if i dont get in this time around ill finish my biochemistry degree next december and apply again
 
sorry to confuse you abc. i havent gotten a rejection yet. i hope not cuz it is pretty high on my list. my supp app is pretty much about my church and pharm experiences. =\
Too? Meaning you too? I'm not the only one?


By letter. Good luck to you.

are you kidding me..your stats are good with very good pcat score...:scared:
 
I'm sure some have to get rejected before interview as no school interviews all of its applicants
 
what is about after the interview? Are they going to reject you? I am still waiting for them to respond. I had interview on Oct 23.
 
0k- second rejection time. I was rejected from the U of MN. I was one of the first to be interviewed, and 26/50 got accepted. I didnt even get waitlisted 🙁 a real bummer for me because this is the only pharm school in MN and its my home state ...the struggle continues....
 
this thread should be removed because it makes me worried....guys plzzzzzz😀

you might want to contact them thats a while between interview and any sort of response
 
Is anyone still waiting for Nova's acceptance letter? I talked Renahe today and she told me the Dean is out of town. So, we have to wait after Thanksgiving.
 
Hey, I got rejected from Worcester MCPHS.
My GPA is 3.17 with over 200+ credit hours. I got BS degree and MS degree and still got rejected. I am so piss off.
Anybody else got rejected from this school yet?

I'm sorry to hear the news 🙁.
You make me very worried now because I have my interview with them in 2 days! Did you feel that your interview went well? It seems like it because otherwise you wouldn't be so mad 🙁.

Good luck for the rest of your application process. Hopefully you will get in somewhere :luck:.
 
Yes, that is very sad news indeed! But look at it this way, you are a stronger person now because of the experience and now you can set your sights on bettering your application! Have you applied to any other schools? (Sorry if you said so in an earlier post, by the time I get here I sometimes forget what was said) It seems to me with that many credit hours you should be fairly competitive.
 
I got rejected from Worcester MCPHS. I got 3.17 GPA, a BS and MS. I still got rejected. What is wrong with me? Has anyone got rejected from there?

Please reply.

I "think" your Gpa is a reason why they reject you even though you have had B.S and M.S. My school average GPA is 3.4 last year. Anything below 3.4 is at 10% to 20% bottom line of the bellshape.

i also saw your thread that ur pcat score is like 40 something. that probably factors in it too even though they dont look at ur pcat score (correct me if i am wrong). if they dont require pcat, i am sure they still look at it if u submitted it to pharmcas. 3.1 would probably, however, get you into california schools if u have a decent supp apps.

You are right, but i retook the pcat on Aug and I got 80%. My GPA is 3.9 cummulative. I got an interview already with my school and still wait for their decision.🙂
 
I got rejected from Touros.

Stats

I feel terrible when I hear someone gets rejected, but that is life and you have to move on and don't give up. I got rejected last year and I am applying this year however I only applied to one school last year and this year I applied to eleven.
 
A positive attitude is important, but it is only part of the story. Understanding how to surmount pain, doubt, and failure is a vital component in winning the game of life. I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.

I have a 3.26 GPA, but got a "on hold" notice from Worcester MCPHS , even before an interview, although I consider this a rejection because I have been in a situation where I was put on hold for another school and never considered for an interview.

In any case I already interviewed at Pacific U and have an interview at Touro coming up.

Nope, just recently finished my B.S. in Biology and a Minor in Psychology.

Good luck to you though.

No, I am from California and hope to get into schools in state or out of state schools that do not require PCAT.

Very strange though, I just re-read the notice MCPHS sent me and it says I have been put on a wait list and to check with them about my wait list position... the wording made it sound like I was interviewed and put on the wait list. I dunno, may be I should call to see my "wait list" position? 😕

However, all I know is I have a 4.00 for the last 50 hours so far... Maybe I'm just not what they are looking for.

So what M.S. program are you going for?
