Well the semester is almost here, and I ahve applied for my classes. I didnt take my last pre-req this summer because I was wait listed by my only applied college, UK. Well today I get a call that goes something like this...

Ring (Unavailable Number)...
Ring...
Me: Hello
Other Person: Hi this is Hope from the UK College of Pharmacy and I wanted to let you know we have an opening in the up coming semester if you would like it.
Me: Oh really, well I didnt take my last pre-req this summer...
Her: Oh my, Im sorry to here that
Me: Well maybe I will have a good shot for next year..
Her: Yeah, we will reveiw your application.
Me: Thanks and goodbye

Then I almost cried. In a way I am happy, but I am so mad at myself for not just taking that stupid class. Oh well, theres always next year.

So raost away, I deserve it for be such an idiot.
 
If this really is a true story (I only believe 1/2 of what I see and none of what I read) I am truly sorry. I don't understand why you did not take the class (and would be interested in your reasoning), but that sucks.

Reasons for not believing it:
Her name was Hope and that you were in any way happy.
 
Its a true story alright, and very sucky one at that. My reasoning for not taking the class is that I had the lower end of acceptable GPA's and PCAT score for UK, so I didnt think there was a chance I would get in. I realize now that I should always be prepared, but hind sight is 20-20. I also bought a house this summer and didnt have much time to take a class and I was thinking that I had a whole year to complete it. Obviously I was wrong, am screwed, but am optimistic that I will get in next year now.

Why wouldn't they let you take that last pre-req next summer? Or during P1??? I'd call them back and see if this is possible!
 
*****!

btw, I have a staff pharmacist who is a c/o 94 UK. I'm getting ready to hire a weekend pharmacist c/o 89 UK!

Now get off your arse and go take the class.
 
Ive asked about taking the class during P1 or next summer, but I had to do so through email because no one answered. I hope this means my chances for next year are pretty good, and you can bet I have learned a thing or two about ASSuming.
 
If I were you, I'd keep trying to call them instead of waiting for them to write you back to see if you could take that class during P1 (if you really do want to start this year).
