wow that's weird. you should really email admissions and maybe ask about your situation? and by low how low do u mean? B/c my gpa is close to 3.3 but my pcat is horrible and I emailed them and they said they'd consider my app w/out me having to retake the pcat again so that was surprising.
are you applying to any other schools this cycle? I mean your gpa is very good why did u not get into other schools last cycle? (if u dun mind asking).

I know some schools have a minimum for PCAT scores and if yours is exceedingly low, they might have automatically rejected you. Why don't you take the PCAT again? It's not too hard but I would recommend studying for a month before doing a retake.

I have low G.P.A and REALLY REALLY LOW PCAT SCORE, and I got an interview. Therefore you should try to apply here!

 

[freshnewkicks]

How did you do on your PCAT? 🙂 I'm so glad it's finally over!

I did EXACTLY the same. I'm so disappointed that I didn't improve! 🙁 At least I didnt do worse...

I did better, but still not good enough 🙁 Verbal and Reading make my score Low 🙁 I don't think I will get any interview from other school....

 

[HelloPanda22]

My reading comp. was low but the rest of my scores improved a lot. Do you guys know how I can update my profile so the schools get my new score?

 

[freshnewkicks]

Lid04- At least you did better! Dont give up!

HelloPanda- If you sent your scores to pharmcas when you registered they will be automatically sent when the official scores become available and then forwarded to your schools.

Thanks! Good luck on your interview! So when r u going to Shenandoah interview?

 

[freshnewkicks]

I'm going to have to request a date in Nov because I'm having trouble getting days off work especially since I have to do so much travelling :/

 

[hye345]

So I guess this is now officially the 2016 class thread?

 

[Ayuka001]

I never received a confirmation before the invite. 🙂

I got my acceptance letter 2 days after my interview. Very fast! They are good at responding too. The interview was very laid back. They just want to get to know you. I feel like your chances of getting in are good if you have an interview. Just be relaxed. Message me if anyone has questions and I can try to help. I am from CA.

I have a question... being from Ca myself I'm wondering which airport you landed at in Virginia...

 

[Bananas88]

I landed at Washington Dulles (IAD). I think it is not too far from campus. And my interview was on the Ashburn campus.

Oh... I'm pretty sure I applied to the Winchester campus.

 

[Chakavack]

Just received interview invite today. Not sure what date to choose yet. I was looking on the map and I guess the only way from airport to campus is if you rent a car. Am I right?

 

[freshnewkicks]

Are you currently at the Ashburn campus? I was wondering how you decided which campus to attend? I will also be interviewing at the Ashburn campus but I'm still not sure which campus to attend it I am admitted. 😕

Congrats on the acceptance. I received an invitation for the interview and I emailed them back with the time and date and did not get any confirmation. So I called them and left two messages already,but nobody called me back. Did this happen to you or they responded pretty quickly?

 

[Bananas88]

They responded pretty quickly. Maybe they are busier now? Not sure. Email them again if you don't hear back this week. Or try to email a different person.

Thank you! They got back to me. They said they were on a retreat. 🙂
Going on Nov 3rd, Ashburn campus.

 

[Lid04pp1]

Anyone going to interview Oct 21 at Winchester campus? 🙂 I am getting nervous!

 

[Bananas88]

Hey I got accepted to the Ashburn campus so I will be attending that one. I did not get a chance to visit the Winchester campus. I talked to a student and he told me he likes Ashburn more because it is closer to the city (DC). I don't think it matters which one you attend. I think that there are more students at the Winchester campus since it is the main campus.

Is Ashburn campus big?

 

[Bananas88]

It is a one storey building where the classrooms are but it is shared with george washington university school of nursing. They also have another building 2 mins away where there is a library, fitness center and labs. Its not big but then they only have 30-35 students there. Both the building are about 3-4 floors. They have a security guard at both the buildings and you also get a george washington univ ID card so you can get in anytime of the day.

awww, it's okay! you still have others interview! People are really nice... but I am not sure how well I did because they are really nice! I was a bit nervous, but they try to calm me down!! If you get an interview there, I would really recommend to go! At least they won't ask you about your bad gpa because it is closed file! The town is small, but it's really pretty! It's very different from CA! Hopefully everything goes well from both of us. I won't know until after 31st.... I am still waiting on other interview! 🙁

Quick question about the supplemental fee guys. It says on the website:


Includeyour name, PharmCAS ID number, address, telephone number and an indication youare applying for Pharmacy School for Fall and the year.
How did you guys provide this information. I am planning to pay by check and I am sure that I would not be able to fit all this on there. So should I include a small slip of paper with all this info?

Thats what I did. Include all the information with your payment.

 

[hye345]

Well, I called today and declined the offer to interview, since I got into a school higher on my list. Hopefully one of you can use that extra slot.

 

[urbanfeel]

I never thought I would be posting this but i received my acceptance e-mail today!!!! I interviewed on October 19th, and the faculty were very welcoming. I visited both campuses and the facilities were impressive as well. Can't wait to meet my fellow P1s next year! 🙂

Seems like everyone is going to Ashburn! I know it is more urban, but then it's only 35-40 students only.... I don't know which one should I choose. :-/

 

[Mo Younus]

Yep I am also goin to the Ashburn Campus. The interview was a good experience...they just want to get to know you as a person.The students love it there, the professors that interviewed me were very cool. I knew this was the perfect school after I had my interview! I dont know how to go about finding an apartment though, but if someone is lookin for a roommate...hit me up!!!

 

[urbanfeel]

Lid04: I chose Ashburn because I grew in on Orange County/Los Angeles area so I thought it was a better fit for me.

Mo Youus: See ya next year!!
