SU received my application on Aug 29. I'm still waiting.....
Does anybody applied to SU and have an interview invitation already?
Thanks

I got an interview invite on August 31st for September interviews, but mine was received back on August 8th.

Maybe this should be moved to school specific discussion? My application was also received on Aug 29th and I havent heard anything yet :/

Please keep me post when u gonna get the interview invitation. Thanks

Merging with existing thread in school-specific discussions. Please use the search function in the future before posting a new thread.

I got an interview invite via email! I was really surprised :laugh:

Congrats!

Before the interview invite, did you get a email saying they have received your supplemental app? I sent mine in 8/23 and still haven't gotten any additional emails. @_@

After the confirmation I received an additional email saying that my application was under review which was sent to me on 8/29. The next email I got was for the interview. I'm sure you'll be hearing soon as well. 👍

Wait, did the confirmation say they received your pharmCAS or your supplemental? Thanks!

I received a total of 3 emails from the school. The first two were both that they received my PharmCAS application (the 2nd was probably an update with my pcat score) They never said anything about my supplemental but I guess they got it because they sent me the invite.
 
They don't have an actual supplemental. no essays or anything as far as I remember. Only $30 application fee, right?!

That's correct. I had not even paid the $30 and got an interview invite... I had to decline due to being accepted elsewhere.

Good luck to everyone

Oops..ahh it was that school. Lol >_> Thanks for the clarification. I had completely forgotten that there was a school w/ no supplementals.

Freshnewkicks, do you mind sharing your stats again? I think I remember seeing them before but I'm not sure where.
 
Can you share your stats? They must be crazy good lol


Not really...lol

I had two semesters of falling grades 10 years ago so my pharmcas gpa sucks. I mean right under 3.0 but the last 40+ hours have a 3.5+ gpa and a really good personal statement (at least I think and the 4 people I had read it). My LOR’s were good as well I read 3 out 4 before they were sent.
 
YAAAAAAY! I got the invite a few minutes ago. 🙂

Freshnewkicks, what date did you schedule the interview for? I'm considering the 28th and maybe stay for the Oct. 29th open house.

GPA: 3.3 🙁
PCAT: 79% composite 🙁 I'm going to retake though.

LORs: science professor, history professor, and pharmacist.

My pharmCAS was officially sent out on 8/8 (I think) and I sent in my $30 ~3 weeks ago.

I just took it this morning and the score is low 🙁. I will retake it on Jan. My application just sent out from PharmCAS this Monday, so I guess I have to waiting :scared:
Btw, did u paid $30 after u received the email from them?

You took the PCAT this morning and you already found out the score? O_O I forgot they switched to computers but omg is it that fast?! I paid the $30 a while after they told me they received my pharmCAS. I paid the fee before I received the interview though.
 
Hey HelloPanda,

My stats are lower than yours...pcat comp- 64.
I'm retaking on the 28th- doubt if i'll even improve since I've been working full time and havent had time to study as much as I wanted :scared:

I think my ECs and PS were good. I'm really lucky to get an interview though! Not sure when I'm going to schedule it yet, but probably late Oct. Congrats on your interview invite btw!

Thanks. 🙂 I just scheduled mine for Oct 26 so maybe I'll see you there. We're also taking the PCAT on the same day. Good luck to the both of us!

Quick question: is it better to interview at Ashburn or Winchester? I'm having a very hard time deciding. 🙁

Sept 28. Did you retake yours already?
 
I haven't decided yet. lol Why did you pick Winchester over Ashburn?

When I applied I specified Winchester on my application because it had a bigger class. But my interview letter said my interview will be at the Ashburn campus. I'm confused...is that the campus I will have to attend or are we specifying the campus later on? 😕
Although now that I think about it Ashburn is a more urban city which might be cool. lol
 
Okay, I officially sent in a request for Winchester. If anyone else is interviewing there on the 26th, let me know! 🙂

do you mind share ur GPA as well, tks
 
I actually emailed and asked them and they said they WON'T accept Jan scores. Did u already apply + did the supp but didn't get an interview yet?

wow, how sad 🙁 My application just sent out this Monday. I think they don't have supp rite? only $30? I'll sent $30 tmr. Yes, I didn't receive any email from school yet. How's about you Ayuka001?

I kno it sucks. They said pcat scores have to received by feb. 1st or something like that so Jan scores won't arrive that early.

Well, you should because when I said low PCAT, I mean really low... My GPA is above 3.00 and I have a BS in biochemistry. You should still submitted it. I believe you have a shot! Don't give up! Do you have any other interview?

I also apply for Midwestern (both campus), UIC, Touro NY, and LECOM. I have some school that I didn't not decide to apply yet. How's about u?

Ur GPA is above 3.0 but like in the middle or something? I just want to know the chance that I can get the interview. I'll have the BS on June 2012 also.

My GPA is right on 3.00, but I already got my BS in biochemistry. Also, did others stuff too like leadership, volunteer, and work with some company for more than 5 years. etc...

Yes. My interview is on 10/21... What is your first choice?

I dun really have a first choice, I'd just prefer staying as close to home as possible (I'm from California). What about u?

Um.... I dont really have a first choice, as long as I can get in! 🙂 I am from CA as well! haha If I can choice, then I would want to go somewhere in the West Coast.
 
Ayuka and Lid04 looks like we're all in the same boat...from Cali and trying to get in anywhere closest to home :laugh:

I tried my luck at Cali school last year and didnt hear back from anywhere so this time around its only PCAT requiring schools for me (ie Shenandoah, Midwesterns etc.)

At least you have couple school called you back! I only have Shenandoah... I am still waiting on LECOM and Touro CA..... Midwestern AZ put me on hold... I am planning on submitted my Midwestern IL, I am waiting to finish my PCAT and work on it. I need one more question, but I am kind of stuck on that one question. Hopefully it's not too late. Good luck to both of you!!! I hope we can get in at least to one of the school. 🙂
