Hey guys. I'm just wondering if any of you has heard back from KU school of pharmacy? I had my interview on 02/08 and am still waiting!!
The university of kansas 2018 applicants
- Thread starter lm10bcn
- Start date
I know someone that received their acceptance letter today in the mail. She interviewed last Thursday and is a KU student. KU waited til April to send out letters last year so I guess they're switching things up!
Wow!! that's really fast!! I interviewed on the 8th (was the first interview this year) and they told me that I should hear by next week or the week after.!! well good for her
Did you received it by regular mail or e-mail?
I received it by mail. They sent it to my mailing address, not my permanent address. It was dated for the 25th, but I didn't receive it till the 27th. My mailing address is in Oklahoma. Not sure if that info helps you

I applied late January but interviewed on 3/1.
Was told that they are doing more of a rolling admissions process this year so don't get too antsy if you haven't gotten an admission letter yet!

Thank you. It helpedI received it by mail. They sent it to my mailing address, not my permanent address. It was dated for the 25th, but I didn't receive it till the 27th. My mailing address is in Oklahoma. Not sure if that info helps you
I mistakenly thought that they will e-mail it. One more question did you do your pre-req-s at KU?Where did you take your pre-reqs?
Thank you. It helped
I did my pre-req's at Oklahoma State University where I obtained two Bachelor of Science degrees. I do have to take one pre-req (neither degree required me to have it) this summer at KU.

Thanks! What's your gpa and pcat, and do you have pharmacy experience? I'm anxious and trying to figure out why I'm not receiving mine yet:-(
My GPA is 3.6
My PCAT composite is 40
Chemistry 98
Math 85
Biology 57
did bad on the verbal and the reading, but they only look at your chemistry, math and biology.
And yes I work in a retail pharmacy for a year and a half.
Did they interview you yet? and when did you apply? and where did you take your pre-reqs?
Same as you, JCCC. I applied mid November and had my interview on feb.8.
My gpa 3.8 and pcat 81 composite, with chem 99 and biology 89, math was 45, but that's because I didn't had any math courses for a long time( I told this on interview). But I don't have any experience:-(
Your PCAT scores and GPA are perfect. I think you will get in. Try to call Gina King and hopefully she will let you know when should you hear back. Best of luck for you

Has anyone from March 1st interview got their letters yet?
I interviewed on March 1st and still haven't heard anything yet.
I interviewed on February 27 and still haven't got a reply. All the students that I know that got into KU so far all chose Lawrence campus so maybe that is a factor; I chose Wichita. I also called earlier today and Gina said they were a little delayed because someone had to leave for a conference. They are meeting again this Wednesday however so let's cross our fingerssssss!
I was told at the interview that campus choice doesn't play a factor in who gets accepted. When did the students you know interview? Maybe the interview date is a factor. Hopefully we will know soon after Wednesday.

Does KU emphasize on in state students for admission?
Well I meant that maybe they're sending out invitations to Lawrence campus students first since there is more seats and then they'll figure out who goes to Wichita. Only speculation because as I've only seen Lawrence campus students accepted thus far. Most of them interviewed at the end of February. I know two students who interviewed with me who also haven't received a letter and they also chose Wichita campus. I've been so antsy because my interviewer told me 2 weeks and it's been 4

I received an acceptance letter today!!!! Can't wait to join KU!!! So excited!!!!!
Congrats to you both and to everyone else who received their acceptanceI received mine too!!!
Did you get Lawrence or Wichita campus?Mine specifically said Lawrence Campus.
You made it!! Congratulations!!I received mine too!!!
Congratulations on your acceptance! Just curious though, did you respond back to them with a thank you email or anything? I don't know what's accepatable lol
For anyone that's still waiting, my friend called last week and they said they were still conducting interviews and also two deans were in the hospital for health reasons so there was more of a delay. I have not heard of any Wichita campus acceptances yet and I put Wichita on my application too.
I had to respond back in writing that I have received the letter and whether I accepted/not accepted the offer. I thanked them in that letter when I accepted the offer. I also had to give them an address and email address on where they were to send information over the summer.
Hey Everyone! I was recently accepted into the class of 2018? Is anyone still looking for a roommate? I am moving from Colorado and am looking for a duplex or house with someone who doesn't mind dogs. Let me know!

For those still waiting on a letter, I emailed Gina King this morning, who stated "Letters went out in the mail this morning, so you will get yours soon." Hope there are still slots open, especially at Wichita.
Good luck, those still waiting.

I have the same situation going on and I spoke with someone in the financial aid office who helped sort things out. Once you are matriculated and considered a student in the School of Pharmacy, your status should read professional school and that will alter the amount of aid you can receive. I was told to check back in June and July to make sure everything is going smoothly. You accept the loan as it is currently, reading undergraduate, but the amount will change once you are an actual student.

Just an FYI, you will pay a higher interest rate on your loans once considered a professional student. I believe it is something around 5.41-6.80% for professional/graduate students and 3.8% (up to 6.80% for unsubsidized) for undergraduates.
I enrolled in pharmacy classes Sunday and was still considered an undergraduate.

OK. So in this case do I need to get an additional loan? Or will the FAFSA take care of everything after being considered as an "actual student"?
It depends on if you've completed enough hours in your undergraduate program to now be considered a graduate student. I received a Bachelor's degree and have approximately 136 credit hours already completed, which were like four over the needed amount to qualify, according to the financial aid office. I don't know how much aid you would be given if you were still classified as an undergraduate student. The financial aid office really helped answer my questions so if you explained your situation to them I'm sure they can be of more assistance!
