I got put on the wait list, but i have been accepted to other pharmacy schools but look forward to hearing from South because I really liked the school.

I have an 80 % on the pcat, a 3.2 gpa, pharmacy tech at walgreens, and a variety of extra currics. One thing that i have going for me was the circumstances i went through. But if you comunicate the reasons why you want to be a pharmacist and what drives you to be a pharmacist. I believe that if you communicate effectively, the admissios council will be willling to overlook problems with your stats if they are at an acceptable level.
 
Do you know if south accept the retake of PCAT in Jan? I know it's kind of late but I just want to know if I still can hope for this 3 year school.. I saw they list Jan PCAT on the website...

HI! congrats on getting accepted to other pharm schools! 🙂

i was just wondering.. do you have a degree? and what schools did u get accepted to? my stat is REALLY similar to yours and you just gave me a lot of hope cus i've been so worried... lol so THANKS!
 
Anybody know how many applicants South University accepts into their pharmacy program?
 
I think they said around 85. PharmCas states South accepts 100 but the entering class is about 80.

I got accepted into mercer but I do not have a degree. I am close to getting a degree, about 4 classes shy of recieving it in three years. But I'll take a pharmD over a bio degree any day! 🙂 BE confident in your abilities. If a school has granted you an interview its because they see you as a possible student, so go ahead and show them why they need to accept you. Good Luck!!!
 
Will South accept the Jan08 PCAT?
 
I emailed South and they said they would accept the Jan scores, but I thought the deadline was Feb. 1

Nice to know.. it might be more difficult because many spots may be filled at that time.
 
Was anyone here in the interview group last week? Everyone looked so scared. It was actually entertaining to see that someone wore jeans to an interview.
 
oh, lordy lordy, just be happy you guys already got interviews and getting accepted. I haven't heard anything yet!!! 🙁 so lonely waiting.
 
yeah, i was there last week. i thought the person in jeans was the bf of an applicant. i think he just followed her there. but anyways, i was really surprise to see about 50 applicants there. i doubt that i will get in with my stats... oh well, it was a nice, learning experience though.

I interviewed in october.

3.1 overall
3.4 math/science
93 PCAT

wait listed at South, Mercer and MWU-CPG. Just interviewed at LECOM Bradenton last week and thought it went well. Of course I have been wrong before... This whole wait list thing is getting old.
 
i just found out that im on their deferred list as well 🙁
 
i got deferred at south too.... i really hope i get in at least one school this year...... =\
 
I just heard from South about an interview. Any advice from those who have already interview there?
 
After they have received everything, including the supplemental application, how long does it take for them to decide whether to call an applicant for an interview or reject one?

I have my interview on Friday too. Good luck and see you there.
 
Hey guys.. I have an interview on Friday as well. Good luck everybody! :luck:
 
I've received my acceptance to Mercer recently, so I'll cancel my interview with South this Friday. Good luck you guy! 🙂
 
Stats:
3.65 GPA
85% PCAT
No Major
Tech'd for ~ 1 year

Heard back from them in a few days via email. Still waiting to get an information packet. It seems like a lot of their info online is dated from the 05/06 year. I'd liked to see an updated academic calendar.

I've been wanting to get acquainted with a few others who'll be attending South before June. If anyone is interested, let me know. I might start another thread (unless there already is one).
 
Hi guys!
I'm going to South U in 08. I'm also looking forward to meeting anyone who will be in our class. For anyone that is interviewing there. The interviews aren't bad just be yourself and be confident and that should show through. I interviewed on 11/9/07 and heard from them within a few days, but they had my application for about a month before I had heard anything. So those of you who are waiting don't worry.
Hope to meet some of you guys soon!

Erin
 
what time is south's university interview? i'm trying to figure out when the interview would be over so i can book my flight.

any feedback would be appreciated.

thanks in advance!
 
The interviews are always on Fridays and start at nine in the morning. We split up into three groups and some groups finished earlier than others so it depends. However, everyone was done by 1230 so if you booked a flight to leave form two onward you could probably make it but 230 is probably better because the schools about 25 minutes from the airport.
 
Funny story about some students at South:

2 years ago, I was at South university job fair recruiting pharmacy students and i asked this question to one girl with her friend (picture a valley girl popping gum saying "like" in every sentence)

me: So what year are you

ditz: what?

me: you know p1, p2, etc..

ditz: ohhh, yeah i like mp3's how do i get one?

me: blank look with a huge question mark on my face

her friend: nooo, we are p1!

ditz: ohhh... (red face) sulks away.

I have to put off to March. I have interview at wingate on Feb 8th and I have biochem exam on Feb 22 (can't drive back and forth to Savannah in one day). So I won't be there until March 7. Hope the seats won't be filled by then..🙂
 
Nope, I'm from Utah, I have visited Buffalo a couple times though and I freaking love it
