i also applied to some other schools.
pharmcas app, supplemental app, LORs, PCAT by 06 Sep
three letters
"Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy is excited to ... transcripts, PharmCAS fee and three (3) letters of recommendation must be...."
Typically it takes 2-3 days for schools to process and mail off transcripts, and 8-10 days for pharmcas to open your transcripts and enter "Received on..." in your application. and depends on the volume, it may take them 2hrs-14 days to verify your transcripts
oh god so that means I'm not gonna make it to Early Decision then?? OMGGGGG
This is directly from the PharmCAS FAQ for ED "Check the box if you want to be considered an Early Decision (ED) applicant. The Early Decision application deadline is September 6th, 2016. In addition to completing the PharmCAS application, you must arrange for PharmCAS to receive all of your transcripts by the September 6th deadline. If your transcripts or application fee arrive after September 6th, your application will be automatically changed over to regular decision. Contact your selected pharmacy degree program directly for information on Early Decision eligibility requirements."
I actually sent my transcripts on that same day but I'm not worried I don't think you should be either. We still have 5 more days
My school took 3 days to process my transcript and they sent it on Monday. If I'm lucky then within 8-9 days PharmCAS should receive it haha. If not, I'll get pushed back to Regular status for sure. :/
In another forum I read someone had their reg app done but it was a few days after the early decision and she called and asked if she could be considered for early and they did it for her. So even if that does happen I would at least try and reach out to see if they'd do it for you!
Wow that's generous of them. Thank you so much for this information! Best of luck to you too meganssss!
I applied to UT for ED, do you know if the interview dates are the same? and also I've been checking because I only have one transcript left to be received, but are they even open on the weekend or Monday since it is a holiday?While waiting for PharmCAS to calculate my gpa and all, I'm just gonna chill until they have verified everything, then hopefully get called in for interviews. I know the interview dates for ED are September 16, 23, 30, and October 7, 14. If you guys don't mind, can anyone update anything whenever they receive interview calls, notifications, etc? Just trying to keep this thread alive...
I'm not applying to UT because there's no way I would get in with my poor stats haha...But if you look into their website, UT ED interviews will be held on Sunday, October 16, 2016. I'm not sure about PharmCAS working on holiday but you can try to give them a call or email. They usually reply the day after you email them.
I'm not sure I'll get in either, my stats are so so but I figured why not give it a try. I did see the 16th date but since you said Tech had earlier ones I thought I maybe could have missed dates that were earlier as well.
UT ED interview date scares me a little bit because they only have one day to interview ED applicants haha. I would say it's a bit risky if your application doesn't stand out enough for them to pick youI'm not sure I'll get in either, my stats are so so but I figured why not give it a try.

Guess we just get to be super lucky and to do the waiting game now
My PCAT is Average, GPA 3.77, I have 1 an 1/2 years being a pharmacy tech, and the pharmacists who wrote my rec letters are like my second family. I just dont have any volunteer hours so that's what gets me. I'll keep you updated on what happens and you do the same!!UT ED interview date scares me a little bit because they only have one day to interview ED applicants haha. I would say it's a bit risky if your application doesn't stand out enough for them to pick you
But honestly it's a good thing to just go ahead and give it a try.
And yeah. This waiting game is no bueno but we'll see. Hope for the best? Haha
I'm sure your stats are fine. I don't have any pharm tech work experience, only 100 hr volunteer. My PCAT and GPA aren't that great so I'm super worried. I'll keep checking to see any updates for sure.
Abilene is only 2.5 hours away from Dallas, so the location is relatively convenient if you want to make frequent trips to D/FW area. the only bad thing is Abilene is not as developed as Amarillo
i m also thinking about UNT. no other school can beat its location
I have a friend whos also a P1 student at UNT........hmmmmmm
72 comp
Not yet. Status on Merlin has been 'No Status' ever since I submitted it.
Yes. I have everything sent except for one of the LOR. Hopefully that'll come in later on today or tomorrow.
Ah, so you are about average for the Texas Tech classes. With your other stats you will be just fine.
I know we are all type A, but don't stress about Merlin. I think Merlin will say "no status" for quite some time... even after (if) you are accepted.
That's good to hear. So they'll just let you know through PharmCAS?
I believe PharmCAS is just responsible for the application. If you get accepted I think you get a call and then an email later that day, key word is "think" though.
My Merlin shows " Oath of residency Complete "
We'll just have to wait until a little bit later after ED deadline, maybe a couple days later. They should start letting applicants know about interview offers soon. If you have decent stats, you should be getting the offer soon. Let me know!
I'm also doing early decision for Tech. I already submitted everything so now all I'm doing is waiting lol.
