Is everyone ready? Just a few more days from the interview day.
Been going over my essays, sdn interview questions on sdn, and checking last years thread to get ready.
::BUMP::
has anyone received any acceptances yet? i'm wondering how soon they make their decisions?
No one has interviewed yet, the first round is this Saturday. Then we can get a rough idea from those people how quick they turn it around. Tomorrow they are sending out their 2nd wave of interview invites! I am very anxious to see what they send me.
Good luck everyone on Saturday, and take good notes about the day for us!
Did anyone get an email from them yet? I just checked my mail, but I didn't see anything from Pacific University.
Yeah, I haven't gotten an email from them yet either. Hopefully, they're just slow in sending them out..
anybody get an invite? I just got an email. I've been hoping for Pacific, but I just stared at it when I got it. It is my number one pick, but now I'm trying to figure out the 3000 mi one way I have to travel for an interview. But god I'd love to go there. Anybody do interviews earlier this month?
Anybody know how bad it is to ask for a delay? Like if I needed to wait a pay period?
I got an invite. So happy But it seems like such a short notice! November 19th :x
Not too sure about how much delaying with hurt your chances sorry.
Sanyu, would you mind sharing your stats?
As for the email, I got placed on committee hold...
Sure,
As calculated by PharmCAS:
Overall GPA: 3.26
Math GPA: 3.65
Science GPA: 2.98 :x
~6 months of working in pharmacy as a clerk
Pharmacy Tech Certified, but no license yet
Varied random volunteer/work experiences
My brother actually also applied to this school and he has a way higher overall GPA, ~3.9, but he didn't have any experience, and his application was put on hold too. But he did complete his supplemental quite recently so I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't appear so well-rounded or because of him submitting his supplemental late-ish.
Did anyone not get any e-mail at all? I haven't received anything yet.
I am not sure exactly what they are looking for, but I have read in other forum discussions that if you are a student in the first semester of o-chem they will put you on hold to see what your grade is at the semester. I have an overall GPA (in Pharmcas) of 3.3, my last 45 credits is a 3.6, with an undergrad GPA of 3.6, my math and science GPA is 2.9. I have 7 1/2 years experience as a CPh, tons of past scholarships, but not a HUGE list of community involvement. And, I was placed on HOLD!!! I was very disappointed yesterday, but then I remembered about the o-chem thing, and this is my first semester of that. The e-mail said I would get an update mid-December, so I am hoping that they are just waiting to see that grade (it is an A right now).
It doesn't sound like there were tons of invites for this round, at least on SDN, but at least we are not alone and they have considerations all the way through March.
Pharmacy technician certified, 3.21 GPA overall (pharmcas) 3.24 science (pharmcas) 3.31 math (pharmcas) and 3.49 GPA last 45 units and around 70 hours of volunteering. No degree. I did not get an invite I guess it's over for this school...
edit- I just looked at my email that i got when my application was complete. I got it on Sept 27th. The email says once they review the application they will update on pharmcas within a few weeks? I never got an update. Should I contact the school???
Hmm, I'm not sure if they bother to update on PharmCAS? I took a look at supplementals page on my PharmCAS and it doesn't show any information for Pacific.
People who interviewed today will hear in two weeks.
I really liked the school and felt that it provides a great environment. I didn't particularly like one of the people who interviewed me though since he turned any little thing I mentioned into a follow up. No amount of SDN questions would have prepared me for that, but I did alright.
I understand I felt many of them were follow up from my answers as well. I felt I did pretty good as well, I was a bit nervous . but All the questions were very general and easy. I think it depends on who is interviewing though because someone mentioned they were asked what was their favorite non-sci textbook or movie.
Hope we hear good news from them soooon!
Yeah it really depends on who interviewed you, but yeah I heard the same thing that some other people got new questions and no real follow ups. It's alright though I just didn't expect the surprise lol. It did well in preparing me for other interviews though since this is my number 2 choice while Roseman is number 1.
That is good! I'm completely opposite of you as far as choices are concerned. I think my interests fit more at this school, although Roseman is like 4.5 hours driving time away from my home. Have you interviewed at Roseman?

which campus would you want to attend?
The Henderson Roseman Campus with Pacific's Hillsboro a close second.
