Are you insinuating that you were being facetious when you typed "that's quite the generous thought"?
Insinuating that I was facetious? My my, would I really be capable of such an act?
Since when did mildly sarcastic equate facetious?
) but I still haven't gotten my packet from FedEx. Anyone gotten theirs yet?Hey! This is my first post!
I got my letter on Tuesday (ahh!!!!
I got my acceptance email yesterday. By any chance has anyone gotten their package in the mail? Excited to meet all of you
Congratulations! mind sharing a few of your stats? and your interview experience?
yes some people have received their packets
I've had them turn around and come a little later once they find out they forgot a packet. hehe. personally has happened to me before. eitherway there's always tomorrow!Saw the FedEx guy drive through my apartment complex just now, but nothing for me

... without the need to send them the acceptance card.
I got my package yesterday.
Syunfung, can you please answer this for me: Do I need to fill all the paperwork and return them together before the deadline? Or do they just need the acceptance card, the money??? And the vaccine ones can be mailed later????
There are couple other forms in there to fill. My concern is that I am not born in the US and I don't have my shot records but I have received all of them. So should I make an appt with my doctor and get the vaccines all over again?
I don't think you have to have all of the vaccines sent in right away. I know with us you needed them before matriculation (first day). Right now they just want a card and some cash that says "I'll be there in the Fall."
We were ranked in the US News & World Report BEFORE we even got accredited 2 years ago. Just sayin' 
The wait list is going to be active until the first day of class. As others previously pointed out, some got phone calls the week before classes started. There is no guaranteed number of acceptances, withdrawals, etc. Patience is a virtue at this point.
I suppose you coooouuullld try to convince everyone here to go elsewhere.
I just don't see a benefit to attending UIW for pharmacy school. But that's just me. I ate at a really expensive steak house in San Antonio once and regretted it instantly. They charged something like $8 for their cheapest water. From their water list. They had a water list.
UIW is like that steak house. You pay for the ambiance (snooty voice).
We're like that well-priced really good restaurant that you keep going back to. The one that's got food equal in quality, you feel comfortable dressing as you are, and there is no water list.
In 2007, 57% of those interviewed got accepted. I forgot the actual number of people interviewed and letters of admittance sent out, its online somewhere if u dig hard enough... i wish i saved the link... it was a PDF file. anyways so lets just assume 250 were interviewed for simplicity sake, 77 spots were eventually filled. that comes out to roughly 143 people being accepted. which means about 66 people declined. Granted, this is 5 years later and A&M has gained prestige, but just to give u a ballpark estimate of "worse case scenario" per say. lol. I say "worse case scenario" (or best case scenario depending on how you look at it - if u waiting to get in lol) because i figure a slightly smaller number of people decline at some point, i'd say maybe 50? lol. But as others have mentioned, it might not be until the last week for you to hear something.... hopefully that's not the case though. just be cool
We had a meeting to discuss the reasons for some of these changes and how it would affect us in the future.
Im still hoping for a call 
I just talked to some of my friends that got accepted to kingsville, all 3 of them also got accepted to UT so they are declining their offer for kingsville so 3 more seats just opened up
does anyone know if Dr. Robertson will be calling people as other people start declining or if he waits until after the 2 weeks?
The most time consuming thing they could possibly have is lab and maybe some extended lectures for IPPE. Service learning is something you do on your own time where you go out to different places to do presentations, do screenings, and generally reach out to the general populace. They want you to interact more with your potential patients and get your some more experience with some of the basic screenings that most pharmacies do now as well as to help you get more person-to-person experience (let's face it... there's a lot of people - esp. people who will be shooting for Rho Chi - who will be stuck with their nose hidden in a book never to talk with their peers).
