how long did it take for them to mail it. I e-submitted it on friday and it still says "not mailed" under my status.
I e-submitted 8-8-10, received transcripts 8-10 and was mailed out 8-30
Regular, I didn't know if Pcat had to be in by the Sept 3 deadline, I only took it this past Aug.
oh wow so it took a while. I applied early decision and yeah they dont accept test scores after the June 2010 PCAT so you couldn't have applied anyways. did you apply to any other schools?
I heard the average student accepted a Palm Beach Atlantic has a 3.2 or 3.3 with PCAT scores around the 60s. Not sure about NOVA but its probably similar.

Probably Nova here at PGA. i think Nova's requirements may be alittle higher.
nice yea if i don't get into PBA my second choice is definitely NOVA at PGA.
Do u have any pharmacy experience?
yea i volunteered at a hospital pharmacy for about a year and a half.
That's exciting! You did the early decision right? I wonder when do they do regular interviews?
Good luck and tell us how it went.

Yea thanks. I'll make sure to tell ya how it went once its over. Yea I did early decision. They gave me the option of this friday or the 24th. So I am assuming that those are the only times they plan on interviewing for ED. So regular interviews must start in early October.
The interview went very well. Very relaxed and felt really comfortable being there. There was 16 of us and about 12 were PBA pre-pharmers. So there were about 4 that didnt apply from there and some of those were regular applicants not early decision. So i guess you should be getting a call soon for an interview.
That's good to hear, what did they ask u in th interview? And how about the chem and math test?
Just got accepted today!!! glad that's over and done with. applying so early was the best decision I made. cant wait for next year.
Wow, congrats on the acceptance! That was really quick!!
I'm still working/stalling on my PBA supplemental and trying to decide if this school is really right for me. Besides the convenience factor, what else was a selling point for you?
JD
congrats!!!!
Did you get a phone call? or a letter in the mail??
I interviewed there a couple of weeks ago and I haven't heard anything 🙁
Congrats again!!!

thanks a lot. I just felt it was the right fit because of the environment. It just feels like your at home. Everyone is so nice and caring and the fact that the class only has 75 students makes it a more personalized experience. I'm sick of just being a number. I honestly feel like the faculty really cares about their students.

ohhh noooo =( I have this fear that they are going to run out of seats by the time they get to my application... I've actually had this nightmare twice already. lol
dont worry they wont. from what ive heard the past couple years they have gone into May without having the class filled. you will be fine. I know a bunch of people that have gotten in and declined seats. I think i was the only one who accepted the offer lol.
I can kind of understand why people would go elsewhere though... the forced chapel and community service hours are a huge turn-off to me, especially since I'm not christian. because you know, in addition to working a job and really hard courses, i will have so much free time for that. ::sigh:: not to mention the horrible $2k laptop i don't want.
lol i feel ya. the chapel isn't really all that bad tho. its once a week every friday for about one hour in between your classes. so its not like you have to go out of your way to go to it. even if your not christian its nice to sit through those sometimes, kinda relaxes you. they really don't force religion on you. the laptop technically is included in the tuition, the only problem is the high priced tuition. I was between PBA and NOVA, both expensive with PBA being about 5 or 6 k more a year. So i asked my self where do I want to spend the next 4 years of my life. The environment at PBA is what sold me. It just seems like the faculty really cares about their students, something that NOVA def doesn't have imo.
If u dont mind then plz share ur interview questions n experience.......thxs
