Matt123, I found some info on Biol 300. If you have taken Biol 300, you do not have to take STAT 203. That info is in the "2008 Y1 Registration Info" attachment.
i am pretty sure thats how it works, how else will they get those waitlist people in? if you don't reply their email by end of tmr, they assume you don't want in.
ubc pharmacy repeatedly emphasized the importance of your email for correspondence. if someone fails to reply, i am pretty sure its their problem.
Ya you would think.. but I think that last year they let it slide for a bunch of people. They sent them out an e-mail kinda like " HEY! You never replied if you want to get in you have 2 more days" . Personally, I think if you really want it you'd be checking your e-mail every day and that would never happen. I want this so bad... sigh
Do we need to take PHYL 302 for first year pharmacy?? It's not in the email but it's in the calendar...
Yay! A 2008 thread! I have so many questions I want to ask you guys because I will be applying next year. I would be super thankful if you can find it in your kind hearts to answer any of them:
Are there people that got in without any experience working at a pharmacy?? I volunteered at a pharmacy for a few months quite some times ago, and don't have any recent experiences. Will this be a big problem? I do, however, have other extracurriculars: I'm volunteering at a retirement home, the public library, a language institute, and I plan on volunteering at a lab soon. I don't know who to get to write the references tho. Should it be: 1)someone I know longer, or 2)someone in the health services profession?
I also want to apply for entry into the dietetics program in the same year, as a backup. However, I've heard the letter of offers for dietetics come out in June, and seeing as I won't know if I got into pharmacy or not until late June, I won't know if I would want to accept or decline an offer in dietetics... Does anyone have any bright solutions for this problem? (I was thinking of accepting the offer from dietetics if I get in, and then think of a way to tell the dieteics admission officer that I want to forfeit the placement if I find out that I got accepted into pharmacy in the same year, but I don't know if this is such a great idea 'cause I don't know if I'd still be eligible to be evaluated for entry into pharmacy if I already accepted another professional program, and I'd be delaying the entry of some other student that might really badly want to get into dietetics) But if I decline an offer from dietetics right off the bat when I get an interview offer for pharmacy, I'm afraid the dietetics administrator won't let me in again if I reapply.
I heard that UBC doesn't look at the essay marks for the PCAT. Will this likely hold true for next year?
Irrelevant to pharmacy, but has anyone here taken IHHS 200? Is it quite easy to do well? Does the course have a heavy work load? And has anyone taken ANTH 227 with Hendrich before?

nope. i volunteered at rpl and miscellaneous events.Will this be a big problem? I do, however, have other extracurriculars: I'm volunteering at a retirement home, the public library, a language institute, and I plan on volunteering at a lab soon.

Wow thanks for all the encouragement and input (keep them cumin' ) You guys are the best! By the way, is it better to submit the reference letters earlier or later in the application period? When did you all mail them in?
i'm pretty sure i know the answer to this, but no one else can choose their pharmacy eligibility yet right? or maybe they lied when they said i got in. SURPRISE! you shouldn't have, my birthday is in november
we can do it now!
that just makes it more absolute. even though we've accepted through email.
depends how confident you are in those courses =] i'm a 2nd year student and i took as many of the prereqs as i could since most of them were necessary for my major (pre-microbi) anyway. i took stat200, chem233/235, biol201 (half of bioc300), and micb202. what kind of happened was i still took all the other required courses for micb, but i focused my studying on the pharm pre-reqs. ended up getting 68 or something in biol200 but i got mid 80s in chem233 and high 80 in stat200.
also, are you sure you don't HAVE to take the bio pre-reqs to qualify as being a 2nd year bio student? and if you are unfortunate and don't get into pharm next year, it would be better to have a backup going for you.
I accepted my offer of admission todayI can't accept offer of admission for Pharmacy yet, but I assume by the end of tomorrow everyone will be able to since registration starts Monday.
I accepted my offer of admission today
yeah, it shows up on "MyProgram" now, but it won't let me switch because the registration isn't open yet ... and isn't registration on the 7th? It's telling me it's on the 9th.
siiiiiiiiigh
I'm WAITLISTED!!!
Yay!
So that means that I should take this time to let all of you that got accepted know that maybe there are other options out there for you other than UBC Pharm...
Just kidding Hopefully I will join you all.
holy crap, thats on the other side of canada.
UBC microbi, what are you admission statistics like? I applied to UBC for the 3rd year in a row and got rejected each time. This is my first time getting an interview. I also applied to MUN after first year and after 2nd year. What was your GPA like for MUN Pharmacy?
I got an intervie.w this year with a 72% PCAT but it was a weaker year in terms of admissions to UBC pharm. Do you think this would be good enough to get an interview next year or do you think i should rewrite it?
my registration date for pharmacy is the 9th
