I figured i would start this thread for anyone interested in Regis University and had any questions. I'll try to answer them as best as i can, or at least point you in the right direction

Just wondering when they began sending out interview invites last year?
Thanks
I just received an interview invite! Anyone else interviewing on 12/3?
The fact that the airport is so far from the school is going to be a little troublesome. The logistics of this will be interesting.
Are you not planning on renting a car? I would get a hotel near to the school and ride the bus out there.
I've heard that it is a PITA to rent one without a credit card, and the husband and I have a policy of not using them. I might have to break that rule for this, though.

If you want help with the bus system, PM me. The website is www.rtd-denver.com.
Thanks! I might take you up on that when the date looms closer.
Hi,
I also applied to Regis, but I have not heard anything yet . Can you tell me when did you completed your applications? Thanx
Any questions let me know I'd be more than happy to answer!
Thanks! That was really informative. Here are a few questions:
Can you tell me what an average weekly schedule looks like for you?
How much of the curriculum is focused on patient care/MTM vs aimed at the dispensing pharmacist?
What is the cost-of-living like? How far do most people live from the school?
How involved are people in activities?
Thanks!
Sorry that was so drawn out but I hope it helps! Let me know if you have other questions!
Pinksparkly looks like your from MN, I am as well and am a current P1 student here at Regis University. I just wanted to share with you why I think Regis is the best choice, I personally went to U of M-Duluth to get my degree but I opted out of attending U of M for pharmacy school because with Regis they use a whole different approach, TBL! I would really encourage you to do research on this before your interview. They do multiple mini interviews ( im sure youve read about...) which sounds really scary but honestly it was the best interview I had, it was a lot of fun! At Regis they really do care about you you're not just another person in a class but an individual. One thing that really did it for me here is the fact that you're not going to have a whole bunch of individual classes that eventually you're gonna come back to a few years later (prolly not remember), at Regis they have pharmacotherapy 1-12 and everything is all rolled into one rather than having medicinal chemistry, biochem, physiology... all separate. For example at Regis All the classes flow together here so in self care we're being taught nonpharmacologic and OTC treatment for diarrhea, constipation and IBs, in lab we're doing abdominal exams on each other and then in pharmacoyherapy 2 we're learing Rx meds the physiology and MOA.... IPPE are within the school year and are incorporated into the curriculum. In half a semester we've already learned more than some P2...this week we're becoming immunization certified (you do that as a P3 at U of M)... Last but not least its CO everyone is so laid back and the state has so much to offer! Any questions let me know I'd be more than happy to answer!
Thanks!
I do have several questions. I have heard that Regis is a little different than most College or Schools of Pharmacy. Now, in terms of competitiveness, would you say that it is quite difficult to obtain an interview and get accepted? Do you know if they look highly upon test scores and GPA? What about diversity? I don't know much about North Carolina and so I don't know if it is diverse as what I'm used to.
Also, can you explain more about the focus of Regis' curriculum? You talked about how it's quite interdisciplinary....Can you explain further? Thanks.
P.S. Also, I would like to keep in contact with you throughout the year. I am currently applying to Regis and other private universities and it would be great to have an advocate or someone who has gone through the process already. Thanks!
I'm going to go to the interview on December 3rd. I was wondering just wondering for all those who live in Colorado... does it snow a lot in Colorado during December?
I feel like this is a stupid question... but i really don't want to be stuck in colorado because the following week i have finals... (so i might have to take my finals the week before).
Also, I'm really confused because on the website they said interviews will be in Feb- May...
It's really unlikely that snow will keep you in Denver. It grounds the airport occasionally (like less than once a year) and it melts almost right away. If it snows the day you're supposed to fly out, worst case scenario would mean staying an extra two days, but that would be a serious blizzard. If your finals aren't until the following week, you'll be fine.I'm going to go to the interview on December 3rd.

Yeah you're right I think I'm just being paranoid.
But I remember back a few years ago when I lived in Colorado there was a freak blizzard that his Colorado and lasted for a week. My aunt told me that she was literally trapped for days. Luckily, I left days before to visit my relatives for spring break.
But this was years ago so hopefully that will not be the case.
But thanks for your concern.
I've been snowed in twice in 15 years here.
Haha how long were you snowed in for?
I haven't seen snow for years ever since I moved to California. I kinda miss it.
I do not think this question was asked, but forgive me if it's a repeat. Does it make anyone nervous that Regis is not credited yet? Also what would happen if someone graduates and the school is not credited, can they still pass the test and practice???
Got my interview for 12/3, anyone that is a current student got interview advice?
hey harmine, can you tell me when you submited your pharmcas for regis? thanks.Hello, I have an interview at Regis University School of Pharmacy this Dec 3rd. Can anyone tell me what their interview questions are? What essay questions do you think they may ask based on your previous experience? Any information / advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong but here's my impression of accredited vs non-accredited:
Well they'll be accredited when the first class graduates since the school has candidate status, so if you were to apply now then chances are that when you graduate the school will be accredited (if the program is sound) . You can still pass the class and practice because those are more individual efforts.
What might be a cause for concern:
is the financial aspect of non-fully accredited schools because they're relatively new so you'll end up taking out private loans, etc... and that will just cost more.
Has anyone received an invitation that applied recently for the February interview dates?
feb 17th, but Im thinking about switching it because I have another interview at feb 18th at maine.Congrats! When is your date?
