I haven't seen a thread for this application cycle, so I'll start one. Ask your questions here!

I'll start. Does anyone think the way they communicate with applicants is a little old fashioned..? Every pharmacy school I've applied to communicates through email/online application portal.

Also, I have an interview scheduled Monday, Feb. 22! Anyone else?

 

[booklover96]

A friend of mine who is in pre-pharm at Purdue just got her interview invite for Feb. 29.

kam22 - are you a current student at Purdue?

 

[kam22]

I actually just changed my interview date to the 29th as well.
No I am not a Purdue student, I am out of state actually. Are you?

No, I'm not. I'm not going into Pharmacy. Just found this searching for Purdue and I was just curious if many non-Purdue students applied for Purdue's Pharmacy school.

Do they communicate through mail? Oh no, I have mailing address as my permanent address. My parents just went on a trip...........

 

[kam22]

I think for out of state applicants, they emailed us about interview dates and what preferences we had. I received everything else by mail.

Congratulations!!!! do you mind sharing your stat? Also was it a big envelope or a small one? am so nervous, this waiting is killing me lol

 

[Hannabelle]

Thank you! It was a normal sized envelope actually!
I'm an Indiana resident from a different university. My GPA is 3.84. I'm 2 year pre-pharm. I didn't take the PCAT. I am the treasurer of a volunteer service organization and have a ton of volunteer stuff at hospitals, along with participating in many other clubs . I'm also a grader and study table leader and a tutor. I job shadowed at a lot of places and attended a lot of pharmacy seminars too! I hope you hear back soon so you don't have to wait anymore! The waiting is killer!

 

[FuturePharmDMPH]

[GypsyHummus]

To everyone that has gotten accepted, congrats! Do you mind sharing your GPAs? I heard that Purdue does grade replacement

 

[kam22]

Congratulations to everyone! Accepted also! Very rewarding to hear as an out of state student! Makes you think all the hard work paid off

 

[FuturePharmDMPH]

To everyone that has gotten accepted, congrats! Do you mind sharing your GPAs? I heard that Purdue does grade replacement

3.5 Undergrad, but that didn't include microbio which I took over the summer recently so prob more like 3.6 (got an A and it was 5 units). 3.8 MPH GPA. Work experience 2 years as a research coordinator, 250+ volunteer hours before, and lots of leadership in college/grad school/post grad

 

[Hannabelle]

Congratulations Kam22 and FuturePharmDMPH! I'm so glad you guys made it in too ! Hard work pays off :3

 

[kam22]

I am out of state, 3.3 GPA, graduating with a BS in biochemistry this May. I have taken the PCAT, but I do not think Purdue looked at it though.
I have over 100 hospital volunteer hours, had 1-2 student jobs throughout college, 25hrs of research/week for ~2 years, have taken elective pharmacy courses and lots seminars, a corporate quality-management/microbio internship, lots of volunteering, committee positions, and leadership in student orgs.
