Thanks Yes2es. Did you already have your interview here?
I wish. Jefferson said they wanted to see my fall semester grades. I'm very hopeful though. I go to school in Philadelphia so I know my way around pretty well.
Hi,
Mine is on the 7th. Yay, excited!!! Yay!! 😀
Try Westin. I think it's only a mile away. I'm not familiar with the area but worst case it's walkable!!! 🙂
Good luck🙂
Please share your interview experience?????

My interview was very on schedule, practically to the minute. Interview was very conversational, 1 on 1. Tour was by two students, and they were really nice and very knowledgeable about the school. Then we had a question and answer session with the same students. Some people have an opposite schedule but its basically the same. I left feeling great about the school. The interview alone switched me from Temple to Jefferson even though I've been an undergrad at Temple for 3 years.
Hope this helps =]
Thanks! I'll need it. This will be my first interview. If I won't screw up and get in, I will share. Right now, I feel like I'll do anything, like anything, to get in 😀

I'm interviewing Friday! It seems like a pretty short, relaxed day based on the schedule they sent me. For those who have interviewed already, could you provide some insight in regards to what kinds of questions were asked during the interview?
The questions asked all really depends on who will interview you. My session was closed filed and very basic questions were asked. Eg. Why pharmacy? I know other people had open file interviews. The interview itself is relaxing and the student tour was informative. What most people don't realize(in any interview) is from the moment you step into the building, you are being interviewed (observed). So be yourself and be polite.
Good Luck
Good Luck
I had my interview today and it was the easiest interview in the world. It was very low stress. It was semi-open file, as she read my file and had some inquisitive questions but nothing deep. I wasn't asked about grades. It seemed more like a "get to know you" kind of deal. For future interviewers, don't stress at all about the interview, just know why you want to go into pharmacy.
My memory could be wrong but I think they said they receive about 1500-2000 applications per year, only about half of those complete the application, half of those who complete the application are invited for interview, and half of those who interview are accepted into the school.
They were very fast with the whole process. I really like the personal feel that Jefferson has with the small class.
I had my interview on Saturday and I received my acceptance email at 2:17pm today.
I agree with u. #1 reason I like about the school is the size of class. prob Jefferson is the school accepting smallest number of students each year.
did u apply to Temple as well?

same here🙂
I did apply to Temple but I haven't heard anything back from them yet. I went to Temple for their undergrad program so I know about their pharmacy program and I prefer Jefferson to Temple by a great deal.
deciding which school to attend is killing me now..both schools were my top choices and I did not expect to hear back from them. If I qualify for PA student tuition, Temple is cheaper than Jefferson. Temple has over 100 yrs of history in pharmacy as well. But I really like the size of class and the curriculum focused on practice. Can u tell me why u prefer jefferson over Temple?

accepted and attending!
This is personal opinion, but I feel like Temple seems a little proud. I also feel like with the class size of Temple, it seems like you would be more of a number rather than a person (as is the case with their undergrad). The lady that I interviewed with, Dr. Pizzi, and the students on the tour, told me that Jefferson professors specifically take the time to get to know their students on a personal level. I also prefer the hospital affiliation of Jefferson to Temple. Temple's location also isn't the best. And lastly, the ACPE recently changed their accreditation requirements and the newer schools such as Jefferson are more able to accommodate those changes whereas more established schools such as Temple will have some issues restructuring curriculum.
I'm not trying to bash Temple because they do have a fantastic program, but it just isn't what I'm looking for in my pharmacy school and I can't see myself spending 4 years in their program.
Good luck on deciding which school to attend.

I was accepted too! Interviewed Fri. heard back Wed.!! I love this school and the area around it - but I also have an interview coming up at a school much closer to home (which is also much cheaper and I would be able to live at home). Anyone know if the deposit is refundable or not?

quick question: Has anyone who was accepted last week based on their interview on or around 1/7/11 recieved the application packet in the mail yet?
I interviewed 1/7, was accepted on 1/12 and was told the offer letter was in the mail and must be returned with the deposit within two weeks. I have not received my offer letter yet! I'd like to send it back asap though...

Same thing here. I haven't received my admissions packet and I really would like to pay that deposit as soon as possible.
I received my admissions packet today. I will be sending out my deposit either tomorrow or Friday. 🙂
