I think A&M's tuition is significant cheaper (around 7k). Texas Tech's tuition is 11k and UH is 14k for one school year.
congrats to all that just got in!!!
I am still keeping my fingers crossed . Any suggestions on a plan B?
Don't give up. You never know if you will receive a call. I had already started on my backup plan and passed the CPhT few days ago, before I got acceptance offer. I think it's important to get more pharmacy experience.
Anyone know if you are required to have a laptop? Do I need to buy one since I already have a high-end desktop? <it would be great if the laptop is not mandatory >
Besides, when is the orientation? I am thinking about taking a vacation right after this semester ends.
Just filled out FAFSA. Hope I did it right. If I didn't, will they let me know?
just got a Call from Dr Robertson ,he offered me a seat....now i got a decision on my hands...could anyone tell me the pros if i do decide to go to A&M?
I would like some info on how rotations work..i heard that you have to drive like 2 hours at times on friday to go to a site.
also housing, could anyone provide me with some info on that?
How much financial aid the school will give you in average? I know that all the grad students are independent and don't make enough money
good idea, any pharmtech books you reccomend by chance.

There are many pros to coming to A&M. If you read up to earlier in this thread many of us have posted things we like about the school. The professors here are awesome and extremely available for help. One thing that I think is really good about our school is that we are in an under-served part of Texas. The patients here REALLY appreciate the time you take to explain to them the risks of not taking care of their diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I've been told by a patient before that this school is the best thing that has happened to this area in a LONG time. I feel like we are really needed here.
Yes, on Fridays as P2s you ***MAY*** have to drive 2 hours to rotation sites. MAX is 2 hours. You get to put in your preferences with them on cities to be in Spring of your P1 year. You could, if you wanted, put a city that is say 1 hour closer to your home or whatever and go home to visit family on the weekend. One good thing about doing this during the school year is you are not REQUIRED to do rotations during the summer. People typically get internships over the summers (a lot of the times in their home cities). The "2 hour drive" on Friday isn't as bad as it sounds. I will be a P2 next year, so maybe someone who has gone through it can weigh in....
As far as housing goes, what are you concerned about? I'm not really sure what you're asking...what kind of places are available?? I hope you chose our school. I really like it here, the people are awesome (students, staff and faculty). I hope this helps even a little bit. lol
so what about rotations as p1 ? do p1's have rotations too ? is it a local pharmacy or a hospital ?
as far as housing, do most people live in apartments or the dorms ? what are these apartments or dorms like ? , are furnished etc
also if i do choose dorms are there single rooms available?
i remember some people lived in Corpus Christi, which is not something i would want to do, to be very honest.
Anybody thinks about creating a facebook page for class 2015? So we know who actually accept the offer?
I just created the group, anybody can join!

I contacted the school, they said we will have the pre-orientation day on June 3rd
Hey velvet congrats on your interview, did they sound hopeful of more acceptances to come ? Lol bec iam still hoping for a miracle.
Just got back from Kingsville and I think my interview went pretty good. Now the wait begins! Dr. Robertson told us if we are accepted, that he will personally be calling us.
It looks like there were about a 20 of us there for an interview. The only thing I was disappointed with was no tour of the building was given. Someone said that classes were in session and so we wouldn't be getting one. I was looking forward to a tour. But from what I did see, the pharmacy building is beautiful!

So the acceptance letter says that I have to maintain my pre-pharmacy GPA. However, I don't know how they calculate it. Does anyone know? Should I e-mail Dr. Robertson and ask? I hope it is only my pre-pharmacy coursework because right now I am really worried about a writing component class I'm taking.

I'm missing bio lab which I'm taking right now. It says on there "your admission is contingent upon (1) maintaining or improving your present grade point average in the pre-pharmacy course requirements and (2) successfully completing all necessary pre-pharmacy coursework with a grade of "C" or better before the beginning of classes in the fall."
I was just curious to know how they calculated GPA so I could determine whether or not I needed to make an A in the lab or if I could make a B and still be okay.
