Yes! It is!!! I couldn't find the group on fb! Can someone post the link if they find it? Anyways congrats to all of you got accepted! 🙂
 
I'm from CA and if I don't get into Howard (have an interview there Nov. 19th) then I will be attending the Ashburn Campus. I really liked how close it is to DC and the partnership with GWU for pharmacogenomics.
 
Do we have to turn in the deposit by Dec 30, 2011 or within 10 days after getting the formal acceptance? Also anyone got accepted to Winchester campus and going to Winchester??
 
I got "we've received your pharmcas" email on Oct. 12 and this morning I emailed the school to ask my status and they said they said they just got my pharmcas and it's gonna take a few weeks to review it. what???!!!! lol it's been weeks already !!!😕

That's weird! Do you think they mean the pharmCAS send the second score to the school? Anyways, did you have your second interview yet?

That's funny, I got accepted into Howard program but I rather go Ashburn campus because I live right down the road from them!! No word from Shenandoah since the first email I received on Oct 3rd stating that my Pharmcas was received...😡
 
I've been accepted to the ashburn campus :soexcited: I will be going here if I dont hear back from my other schools.
 
congrats fresh!! i most likely will be going to ashburn see ya next year if you decide to attend Shenandoah!

2) There are 4 residency program and MBA dual program.It is a typical 4 year program.

Could anyone provide a list or an overview of the type of questions they ask, or the procedure that is in place at the Shenandoah interview?
 
I received an interview invite couple weeks ago and I was torn whether I should go or not because I might not even attend this school. I believe their interview session starts today. I guess I'll just keep marinating until I reach a decision...

Good luck everyone during the interview!!🙂

LOL out of that 15, 7 of us are from CA!!! 🙂
 
Can anyone give me some details on the Ashburn campus? Is it in a rural area, good night life, fun, etc? What they like/dislike about it?
 
Ashburn campus is situated in the suburban of Northern Virginia, 40 minutes away from Washington D.C. I live around here and I can tell you, the area has a dense population with a lot of traffic but no night life. If you want to hit nice bars, lounges, and clubs, you have to go downtown DC or surrounding areas.
 
so i sent a request to be in the facebook group last week and i havent gotten approved yet... i did notice a lot of Californians though!

LOL! Usually Cindy get back to you pretty fast! Probably busy though! There is a lot of CA especially Ashburn campus! What part of CA r u from? R u set to go to SU? I finally got an interview in Midwestern IL, but I am thinking of turning it down... because IL is pretty saturated and the tuition is really expensive! I guess the good thing is that you can do rotation in CA!

I thought she was pretty fast too, now im worried about why she didnt approve me! haha! maybe I will message her 😳

I would be so happy attending Shenandoah but if i get accepted to midwestern it'll be a hard decision. You make some really great points for turning down midwestern. I'm about 2 hours away from LA. but i went to school up north. hopefully i get in the fb group soon!
 
Hi I'll have my interview next Friday, so for those who already had an interview, can you tell me what kind of question did they ask?
I'm from CA and my interview at Ashburn as well. thanks guys 😍

I would go through SDN question! This interview is very chill! They will for sure ask Why pharmacy, and Why Ashburn or Shenandoah. They are really nice and sweet! It is closed file and they just want to get to know you! 🙂 Hope this help! Good luck 🙂

I mean there is always pro and con on each school! I would prefer price over location. Once you are in pharmacy school, you will have no time to play. 🙁 Shenandoah is cheaper than Midwestern by like 16K per year. And I believe once you get a license, you can work most of the east coast area vs Midwestern you can't. (Someone correct me if I am wrong). Also living cost in VA is cheaper. I would only go if it is Midwestern AZ, NV, and UCD (CO). Anyways, I hope you will choose Shenandoah! I mostly would go there! When r u going to find out if you get into IL?

congratzzzzz 😍

I declined my interview offer with Shenandoah since I have interview on the same day with MCPHS 🙄 don't know if it's a right decision or not ...
 
There are some post MCPHS Vs. Shenandoah! It really depends on how you like 3 yrs vs 4 yrs program! The stats of getting into Shenandoah is 80% if you get an interview!! They are very friendly and sweet! I am for sure the pros over the cons!! 🙂 Good luck on MCPHS! Why You decide to go on a interview in PCOM GA (that one is not full credit right?) vs. Shenandoah it is full credit .Good luck anyways!

The interview is 2-1! Afterward you are done. Well after you pass the State board exam, you can work couple state along the east coast, but Midwestern can only work in IL.. but correct me if I am wrong.

After passing the NAPLEX if you want to work in another state like CA you have to pass an additional test to be licensed in that state. So i dont think you have to stay in IL. But yeah i havent heard from them yet! Oh btw I just got added to the fb group. yay!:laugh:

Yay!!! Anyways, I was thinking that once you pass the board in IL, you can only work in IL..but vs. Shenandoah, once you pass the board, you can work along the east coast. Correct me if I am wrong. 😛 Anyways, Are you done with all the pre-req?
