Whomever got into this school, be prepared to endure the worst experience of your academic lives lol ! This school is absolutely no joke. You will have to memorize so much information, it will blow your mind. 60% of the class will bomb the first exam. I heard they recently took away the extra 5% from you group test, that adds to your individual exam (so essentially you could make an 85% on the test with group points and still pass) But now, it's 90% on your own every exam, no group points. P1 isn't so bad, but P2 is horrible. I actually had a life in P1, P2 was nothing but studying. So happy I graduated. Good luck everyone and god bless.

Sounds to me like you have something against the school. Yes its tough, no doubts there, but did you miss the part about it being an accelerated program? Its suppose to be hard. You should have known that going in. They aren't getting rid of the team point thing so I'm not sure where that came from.

Happy April Fools Day, Ctooz.
Team points still exist, and the bomb rate on the first test is not close to 60%. P2 is reputedly a lot harder than P1 tho, so that part's true.

The 5% group point will still be in the assessment in the block systems. And more and more other 3-yr block programs adopted this approach including the group points.
I am glad it's no easy work, since we are dong a PharmD degree. I want a quality PharmD so as to build my career quality and reputation. We don't want patients say: that pharmacist knows so little even spelt words wrong.

We had a long four day weekend that they called a Spring Break (5 days if you passed the exam on the prior Friday) so if you can get married and honeymoon w/in those four days, then plan away. I, personally, would have wished for a longer one but I'll take what I can get. I'm also getting married later this year but had to change the date because the date we wanted cut into the last week of schooling in December. Booo.

I'm wondering the same thing....
From what I understand: They have already contacted all of the people who they have accepted into their campuses and they have until about April 14 to accept. At that time, they will have a better idea of who else can be accepted and who will be contacted to be on the wait list.
I may be wrong though...

I think you are right! I'm trying to stay hopeful because from what I hear, a lot of people from the waitlist get accepted. Hopefully I become one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think he has this "waitlist" completed yet thought because all he told me was that he would have a better idea by april 16. I also have no heard of anyone being ranked on the waitlist yet, unless they are trying to get into the nevada campus and are already accepted into utah.

Thank you for the info, how disappointing if that is true though
4/16/2012 is the deadline for $1000 deposit for those accepted. I am sure some people will give up their spot so after that date the school will move onto wait list. You may get a call anytime for an offer then!
No i'm just saying that's how many seats needs to be filled. I was wondering if they offered that many so far and see who accepts it then opens it up to waitlist.

Yeah, I didn't understand your post either. If you are saying that there are 112 remaining seats in Henderson, that's probably not accurate because I'm pretty sure more of them have been filled by now. If you are saying there are 112 total seats, that's also not accurate because it's more like 145.
Utah probably has the capacity for about 145 as well if the classrooms are truly identical, but I don't the class has been filled to capacity as of last year.
Sorry was responding on my phone. I was wondering like, if they contacted the exact number of people as there are seats so far. Like if Nevada has 145 seats, they only contacted those 145 and gave them til mid april to decide and then based off that, they will start contacting those who are the waitlist? Or is it like they contacted 200+ and waiting til mid april to see if they accept or reject the offer then contact those on waitlist.
I do not think they contact more than they have seats for.... So, no, they probably do not contact 200+ for Nevada if they only have 145 seats go Nevada...
I think they contact 145 fe Nevada and 112 for Utah at most. if any of them decline, they move down the list.

They are only limited by the number of chairs in the classroom. The Henderson campus classrooms are a little larger than the ones in South Jordan. They usually accept 145 students for Henderson and 112 for South Jordan. Since coming to South Jordan they have increased the number of students per class each year and they finally maxed out the classroom capacity in South Jordan this past year for the class of 2014 at 112 students. I'd imagine they are going to max out the seats every year from here on out. I wouldn't be surprised if they added additional seating somehow to accomodate more students, not because there is a need for more pharmacists, but the monetary reward it too great for them.

Diastole, did you or any of your friends have a rotation with Kai or Krystal? If so, what were your thoughts on the experience?
Btw, what is it looking like for you after graduation? And, how did the match turn out for you guys?
Congrats on being so close to graduation! I remember how good it felt to wrap up rotations I imagine you feel the same.

Its no different then any other school during this time. The University of Utah Increased the number of seats they take from 45 to 60 in 2010 again in 2011 and will prob again this year.
I got a confirmation email on thursday that my deposit was received
I sent mine on the 4/4 waiting to hear if they got.
Mine show delivered by USPS but have not received an e-mail from Roseman yet.

I really hope ACPE can set a limit number of students each school can take. Now schools tend to over-produce PharmD on the market. We will have more difficulty finding a job in the future.

Agreed. There needs to be a governing body that limits the number of schools and students like they do for medical schools. There are at least 2 brand new pharmacy schools that opened in California starting this fall. As if they need more pharmacists in Cali...there is good money in it so why wouldn't they want to get their
piece of the pie? Get it while it's hot I guess.

There is only one new school (California Northstate College of Pharmacy) moving from "candidate" to "full" status this fall in California. Luckily, another new pharmacy school (American University of Health Sciences) was denied so they cannot take any student.
All US pharmacy schools are approved by Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), which I think it's the governing body for us pharm schools. Tell you guys something interesting. I did write an email to ACPE's Chair of Student Affairs Jennifer Athay PharmD complaining about that we have too many PharmDs now and please do not approve anymore schools in California. Couple months later in early 2012, they denied that American University of Health Sciences candidate status. Hahahaa...hopefully my complaints worked!
Besides myself, I heard that many Deans of private pharmacy schools in California also wrote to ACPE expressing their concerns about allowing more pharm schools in CA.
I encourage everyone to write to ACPE expressing their concern, letting them know about limiting class size of existing pharm schools.

Pham, You are mistaken ( see post #1200),
it is different than others. Also, the UofU hadn't expanded in many many years until the move to 60 a few years ago. And I've heard nothing about them expanding again anytime soon

That's not what I was told when I interviewed with them. I was told in my interview in 2010 they took 60, 2011 they accepted 65 and this year they were looking at accepting upwards of 65-70. Now whether or not that many actually go is a different story.

Well "prob" is different than something they actually told you. I'll have to confirm with those I know at the school if what you say has actually happened or is still in the plans to happen.
Still...two big differences, first, the UofU has already established rotation sites and preceptors instead of expanding first and then scrambling to obtain sites/preceptors as Roseman has done. Also Roseman specifically told people that they would cap their Utah campus at 90 and then 100. They didn't honor any of those and are now at 112.
Mostly, I feel for the students that graduate with their PharmDs at present and want to stay in Utah but can't largely due to saturation of the market.

Seems to be an issue with the ACPE not stepping in and liming the number of students a school can take and the number of schools.
