i kinda want to apply here as well but it so far from where i live i mean it all the way on the east coast. should i even try?
 
It says on Sullivan's website that they will begin reviewing applications on July 15, so I'm assuming that everyone who sends in their app before this date will be in the same cycle. Anyone know when they started interviews last year?
 
I'm sending in my application tomorrow.

-3.89 GPA.
-2 years experience as a pharmacy technician, been certified since January.
- Really good LORs from my Organic Chem professor and our PiC (head pharmacist) at work.
- I didnt do very well on my PCAT (69 composite) but Sullivan doesnt take PCAT scores into account (thats what they told me when I called anyway).
-I think I have a good essay, but not so confident in my CV.
-My weakness is my volunteer work, havent done hardly any.

I have several friends that have been accepted in the last 3 years to Sullivan (at least 2 from each year) and they all said that Sullivan really looks at the quality of the person more than the stats. I like my chances with my GPA and experience, and I think I come across as a genuine person, hopefully I can get an invite to, and have a good, interview.

Good luck. I think my stats are pretty good as well so I will see what happens.:xf:
 
Good luck to all who are applying for Class of 2014 at SUCOP!
Not so much impressive undergrad GPA here but I've worked hard for my Master's in Public Health that I'm graduating this fall with. I've worked in the dept. of health for 3 and 1/2 yrs now. yes! work full time school part time! I'm reapplying to SUCOP cuz I heard all I need to do is reactivate the application by sending an email to Dr. Faccione. (no hassle asking AGAIN for LORs and PharmCAS app. transcript fee) I'm not taking PCAT since SUCOP will be my only choice at this point. I was placed on an alternate list last yr, which gave me time to finish my master's (positive attitude!😎) and really ponder on what I really want to do with my life. The more I research and think, the more I'm drawn to the pharmaceutical field. hopefully I get in this yr, and meet you all after all. Good luck to us! go class of 2014!

It's written that the PCAt is optional.. Does this mean that we have to take it.. I am only applying to Sullivan.. any ideas?

SUCOP was the only pharmacy school I applied to, since it was optional I did not take the PCAT. I start the program in July.

Good luck to everybody.

Are you planning to stay in public health after you obtain your PharmD?

Yes.That's where I'd like to stick around. However, things may change since I haven't discovered all the options I may choose with a PharmD degree in hands after then. All I know for now is Pharm D degrees will open alot more doors for me in the future.
BTW,you must be very excited for the class to begin in less than a month! best luck to you. hope I get to see you around next year. :xf:

I am guessing that your 3.5 years will go towards employment time with the US government. If you wanted to do commissioned pharmacy corps with the USPHS would that time count? If so, you walk in as an O3 with 4/5 years experience depending on when you leave your job and jumps you up in the government pay scale, plus you would already have time built for retirement.

If I can find a job without relocating in the USPHS in the commissioned pharmacy corps, I plan on accepting.

I didn't even know there's option out there like that. so is USPHS like a military? Thanks for the good tip! It's something I might consider in a long run. 🙄

When I spoke to Paige last week she told me that they were behind with the apps but they were gonna start reviewing soon. She also said that once the apps are processed then we would be receiving an email from them.
 
I sent an e-mail to Paige today and asked if they were reviewing yet and when the timetable is for notifications for interviews.

She said they are processing applications and can not even guess a timetable for notification of interview invites. She said we would be notified by e-mail though. Waiting is no fun.
 
I have this horrible feeling we won't find out until late August.

I'm driving myself crazy by checking my e-mail every hour.
 
:luck:GOOD LUCK :luck:to everyone applying this year! Hope to see many of you next July! 🙂

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!👍

P.S. Don't worry about the waiting game. You'll find out early with this school, compared to a lot of others. For example, I have a friend who just found out two weeks ago she was accepted at Purdue.
