god i hope not.. I'm from there and would love a place to work when I graduate! It is def. not a place for a school. I've known they were opening it but paying 30,000/year to be the first class is kinda iffy when there are 3 other schools in ga to apply to. (mercer is 20-30 mins away) I hope all these new school and school distance programs end soon!

I guess PCOM thought that they couldn't pull off opening a 4th school in Philly.
I am going to finish turning in my application next week. I have turned in everything else but a recommendation and a transcript from a school that I attended for a summer session a couple of years ago
The only time I heard from them was 2 weeks ago when a lady called to inform me that I was missing a transcript from a school I attended several summers ago. My application package just became complete last week and I know they said you'd hear back about 3 weeks after your application package became complete. I thought about going to the open house, but the 4-5 hour drive deterred me.
Good luck!
Hola, when did you turn in your whole application package?

hey everyone, I sent my application in through pharmcas a week ago, but I am not sure how to go about doing the supplemental- It says on the supplemental that you need to put all your pre-req's and new recommendations attached to the supplemental, along with pharmacy experience etc, Do I have to do this all over again for the supplemental- I mean all of this stuff is attached to my pharmCAS application- Any help would be appreciated, You can PM me or write on this thread- Thanks for the help
I submitted my application in January and it was a paper application. I have a Bachelors in Health ed, and am finishing an MPH in Epidemiology. I doubt its too late. There is no application deadline, its rolling admissions.
I did a paper application because they were not on Pharmcas yet then. I typed everything up though
when i found out that the school is now participating in pharmcas, i emailed the school about this cuz i have already requested trnascripts and letter of rec to be sent directly to the school.it's just that i haven't submitted the paper application yet..they told me that i can continue to work on my paper application and jsut submit it by mail.dont need to do pharmcas.
also, at their website, it says u can either submit by paper or through pharmcas..and if u do pharmcas, deadline is march 1..i wonder if march 1 is the lastest deadline allowed by pharmcas tat is why it's march 1

I e-mailed the school and they told me if you submitted through PharmCAS you didn't have to do the supplemental application or pay a supplemental fee.
really? Thats good news, saves me some money, how long did it take for everyone to hear back???
Just FYI - there are NOT a lot of job opportunities in the Atlanta area at the moment. I am a P4 Mercer student, and the market is completely saturated at this point. I have quite a few classmates who were active interns (multiple different employers) going into their final year, and they have not received offers from their current employer, let alone anybody else. People who are willing to leave metro Atlanta are getting offers - those staying are going to have a difficult time.
Hello everyone! I was wondering if people who have interviews/have been accepted could post some stats. Also, if have or will have a bachelor's degree before admission. Pharmcas just mailed mine Monday so I was just hoping to see what my chances are. Thanks! 🙂

I can't believe people are going to go to this school
..a pharmacist I worked with at Walgreens is going to be a teacher there
LOL lets just say I hope the rest of the faculty is ten times smarter than she is
Hmm, pretty sure I only asked people who have gotten interviews/been accepted to PCOM to respond to me 😀 not people who want to put people applying to PCOM down. THANKS!!!!

A Guy in my pchem class got an interview with a 62 pcat and 3.4 GPA. He is a junior. Good luck! Like the above poster said good luck at finding a job around Atlanta if you choose to stay in the area
Wait...what the heck. I am pretty sure you need a residency to work as a professor.

By "teacher" they could mean practice lab instructor. 1 or 2 of our lab people are from retail.

No you don't, at least not at this school. She has never done a residency, let alone stepped in a hospital setting....She was hired as a professor and will also be teaching 2 labs according to her facebook lol
oh Lab instructor. that is fine then. I was about to say....professor?!?!?!
wonder how much pharmacists get paid to be lab instructors hmmmm
YAY! I got my acceptance e-mail! I am happy to have been accepted somewhere! YAY!
how was the interview? i just submitted my application yesterday..hope it's not tooo late...

God help this state....more pharmacist being pumped out from this degree mill...go ahead and flame away at me, but it's true
The interview was good, it was not stressful at all. You are interviewed by two people, the dean and a faculty member. It lasts for about 30 mins, and then you have to write an essay (similar to the PCAT essays), and then you have a campus tour.
Pretty simple, nice family atmosphere
Not sure I will be attending yet, waiting to hear back from the other schools that I applied to
