At least we know there's at least like 5 spots open right?
This might actually be one of the best reasons to be an SDNer.

can also be the worst... knowing throughout the coming months that spots are still opening up and not getting a call. lolThis might actually be one of the best reasons to be an SDNer.
I would say he calls tomorrow...at least that will be the big one where he will call for all the denials so far. Then it will be a random call here and there until the week before school/ they fill up. When are the next interviews?
So would they call or let you know whether if you are denied?
Ok...got a call today from Dr Robertson but I was at work and just got off at 11 pm. Now I'm kind of freaking out that he might've given my spot away bc I couldn't call back today. Def will call him first thing in the morning
Lol, dont worry, he gives you some time to call him back. I got a phone call while I was in my BioChem II lab. It was too late for me to call him back (8pm) so I called him at noon the next day to give him my acceptance.
I don't believe they have scheduled any as of yet. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). No telling of when they will call guys, just hang in there. I'm sure it'll be soon!
So I work at 8. Do you know if he'll be in his office like 7:30?

Yeah I wonder if he calls just one after another or takes breaks? I hope I get called
This might be a dumb question, but is someone hasn't been called for an interview yet, is it safe to assume they are on the "denied" list???

I just got a call from Dr. Robertson! I'M IN! I'm so happy but I'm trying to hold back the tears!
What were yalls stats? if you don't mind me asking
Congrats to everyone who got accepted today!! There is a Facebook page going. I think only about 5 people are on so far. There may be a link somewhere on this thread so go find it and send a request so we can all get to know each other! I'm Lisa V., by the way.
I tried looking for the facebook page but I couldn't find it, does any one have the link?
Edit: NM I found it, here it is if any one else needs it

Does anyone know when school will start in the fall? I still have to take OCHEM II this summer and the class doesn't end until August 16th.
Last year we started on the 15th (but had to be there by the 8th for orientation week)
So there's a pre-orientation in June and a week-long orientation in August?
That is pretty much correct. Use your time in pre-orientation to look for a place to live and then when orientation comes around, you'll get the fun stuff where the organizations will try to recruit you. There will also be rush events from Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Chi going on, so be sure to check those out.
stats on new people being accepted? Though irrelevant now, but still just keeping the numbers game alive.
10 pts = GPA
10 pts = PCAT
30 pts = Letters of Recommendation
25 pts = Interview
75 pts = TOTAL
4 - 5 pts = **Bonus (South Texas Resident, Advanced degree, Pharmacy Technician Certification, etc. I know these do exist as I sat on the interview panel last year. Yes 3rd and possibly 4th year students interview applicants.)**
So if an applicant has a 3.3 GPA, 87 PCAT, and 3 great letters (really who is going to write you a bad letter at this point), the points would be:
GPA 3.3/4.0 = 8.25/10
PCAT 87/99 = 8.78/10
Letters (3 at 10 pts each) = 28/30 (ok one recommender didn't really like the person)
Pre-interview score = 45.03/50 (pretty good chance this person is getting interviewed)
If the interview goes well 22/25 (believe me this is a high interview score some people were bad...) or so you're looking at 65.03/75. But do NOT get too focused on the numbers it is just a rating scale things could change. If you are invited for an interview:
1. Prepare!
2. Be familiar with the program (one of my favorite questions was "What do you think of our curriculum?")
3. Practice!
4. Relax (please don't cry during the interview )
Do the organizations ever have events on Saturdays that you know of? I'm planning on coming home every weekend but I also want to be involved with organizations
What were yalls stats? if you don't mind me asking
GPA: 3.2 (blah)
PCAT: 80
Experience: Shadowed in a local pharmacy for a few months
Bachelors back in 2004 - I'm OLD (in comparison to most of you)!
Interview: nervous wreck! but ok i guess?
LOL! well im not old either just "older" than most that applied.
