I have 2 years of hospital inpatient volunteer + 6 month of tech work. :)

I am not worried about UOP. This thread for Pacific Univ, OR. I do like USC and Western more. BUt, sometimes we don't get what we want.

The scary thing is if you look at my post in the PU thread from last year, I posted my stats and they are almost exactly the same. Except my last 45 units was a 3.24 gpa.

I should be at that 11/10 interview greeting you guys at the table and handing out name tags and taking your pictures. I cannot wait to meet you guys.

Congrats to everyone who got that invite.

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to their question.. I was actually a little worried about it but what can you do after it's already been submitted.
 
I have not received the invite. Looks like I am not in the first batch of the invitees. Anyone know Pacific's style? they invite several batches of applicants? or they continuously invite people for interview? Thanks!

I sent in all my application stuff on Sept.28th, and my GPAs are as good, I also have other experiences including pharmacy. so I am a bit worried that why I did not get the invitation.

Anyway, what's the ratio of admissions vs. interviewers? any one know? thanks!
 
Congrats to everyone who got an interview:thumbup:
I sent mine on Sept. 25, but did not get an invitation.
Do I still have hope?
I really really want to go Pacific!!!:luck:

I was told tht i shld expect something from thm by mid-november...so i guess yea...they already sent in the 1st interview invites...
 
Just wondering - is there anyone from Southern California that's going to the Nov. 10th interview? I'm thinking of arriving to Portland on the day before the interview to get comfortable and check out the campus. Anyone's interested lemme know! :D

And for those who are going to the interview, where are you from? :)

How do they differentiate invitees? based on merits or the application date? Because they are still accepting applications now.

I heard Pacific Univ will have 4 interviews. Because they are non pharmacas school, they receive about 500 apps according to Lonnie. And interview around 200 for a class for about 96. So everyone has a good shot. Not to be critical or anything, why did you submit your app so late if u wanted to go there. Initially the first interview was suppose to be in end of Oct.

hey steve, did lonnie tell you that their class has 96 seats?

she told me also that there are 4 interview dates, with about 225 total interviews.
 
For those who received invitations, are any of you re-applicant?
 
Is This Pacific Of Stockton You Guys Are Talking About Or Oregon
 
Nov. 10th is the first interview date of the 4 interview dates? So 1 quarter of the 225 interviews are for this date. Am i correct? if so, there are still 160 interview chances left, that will be good!:laugh:

Crap, that means the next one might be in December? I can't make it to the Nov. 10th one because of WORK! Grr....

Does Lonnie usually respond fairly quickly? I emailed her this morning to ask if there were other interview dates available since I can't take off for the Nov. 10th interview.. :(

I believe the interviews are Nov, early Jan, mid-Jan, and Feb. Don't quote me on that though. Man, I need to study and stop messing around on this internet!

I just checked my email as well and I got an invite also. I have the USC interview that day, so i just rescheduled my interview with Lonnie to Jan 26th.
Click to expand...


Next interview date is Jan 26th, which will be the 2nd one. The 3rd and 4th interview dates will be in February. They will be interviewing about 50-56 students per session. Lonnie told me this over the phone when I rescheduled with her.
 
so.. .
I received an interview as well.
Im coming from Los Angeles and arriving on nov 9th and departing nov 11th.
Anyone on the same boat? PM me if u are!!

Are you going to the Jan 26th interview date? I spoke to Lonnie today to re-schedule for that date. She told me the same information as well.. Also-- Nov 10th interviewees will receive notification of acceptances within a month or so.. As for the 3 interviews in Jan & Feb, interviewees will all be notified late in March (about a month after the last interview date).

To those going to the Nov 10th interview date: You have an edge over the rest of the applicants going to later interview dates! Congrats and good luck.
 
Hey guys (and gals) - I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their interview invites - and reassure those that didn't receive one to keep their heads up.

If you didn't receive an invite for the first date - Don't lose heart - it really only means they haven't sent you one yet... - I wasn't invited for the first date either...

To those who did receive an invite - do your homework - prepare yourself for the 15 minute session. It takes practice to let your personality shine through. Beyond that, I would stress to you to understand precisely why you want to be at Pacific. Spend time in the interview feedback section, and definitely avoid falsifying yourself. If you guys have any questions - feel free to post - until then - holla.
