don't worry about immunizations, you don't officially need it until the end of 2nd year which is when you go on your rotations to community pharmacies... but you dont' REALLY need it until your 4th year during the hospital rotations
i'm in too! congrats everyone! and dont' give up hope if you haven't received negative news, they may not have sent it all at once, or you're on waitlist! have hope!
Yes, and she said that they're in progress, which I guess is a no.
Then I said "does this mean I should keep hoping" and she pretty much said "I don't know about that. Just understand there are waitlists and there is a process involved"
oh really , because it says that you need to show evidence for all of the listed vaccines by nov 1st :O. can it be after then?! haha ...like a year later lol
hey congrats to all the ppl that got in..hopefully the ones waiting get in too..i'm hoping to apply to ubc pharm next year. I would just like to say everyones posts' are awesome..it totally helps ppl like me that are hoping to apply get familiar with the process..i was wondering if the ppl that got in could post there stats (this question has been asked before but not everyone has done so, hopefully now that u are in u feel more comfortable sharing your gpa and stuff)
you can ask margaret once she's not as busy. i met a guy who's already in pharmacy and he said he called her one day and asked. I don't think you get a scholarship based on your admittance marks but definitely once you are you pharmacy, you can get scholarships after each year like any other faculty.
Good luck for those who are still waiting. It's canada Day tomorrow so hope you guys will be doing something then and not worry. I have 2 pieces of advice that is very obvious but rings very true. 1) do the best you can do ALWAYS so you'll never be disappointed at yourself. 2) what's done is done and you can only learn from that experience.
This is my 2nd time applying so i learned the first time around that sulking won't help. i just need to work harder and it worked.
Also, ask for your stats (for those who didn't get accepted- like 2 weeks later when margaret isn't so busy) so you can see where you stand against other people and see what areas you can improve on.
anyways best of luck! and Happy canada day tomorrow!

Sigh... I didn't get anything.
Is it possible that they haven't sent out all the acceptance e-mails yet, or am I pretty much done for the year?

Apparently it was sent out as a batch email so if you didn't get one around 3-4pm today its either waitlist or rejection
I must have really messed up on my interview... I had 85% gpa and 87% pcat. time to reapply next year 🙁
Whoa, but with those stats you're likely numero uno on the waitlist. I mean, gpa is still worth the bulk of it and I think someone with a 75% gpa got accepted.
I'm hoping they'll let another one of those relatively weak GPA's squeak by...!
Who's who in the FB group? I'm Davie
I think I screwed up my interview as well...

I'm in the f.b. group as well. I'm Joanne. =)
To those with lower avg/pcat, Yes, its possible to get in. I applied with a 72% avg and a 68% pcat score and got the interview, rocked it, and got an offer!
I got me email at 6:04pm...but i'm in ontario so i assume that's 3:04 BC time. good luck! hopefully they haven't sent them all out! and there's always the waiting list!
sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you didn't get in with those stats off the bat you won't be offered admission. I had a friend with similar stats (mid 80's for both GPA and pCAT) that applied and didn't get the offer because their interview was below 65%. However, he was still ranked in the low 100's (and everyone up to 152 is accepted unless they screwed up their interview, in which case .. people in the 153'rd spot would get accepted and so on.

how do you know your interview score?
asked margaret?
i personally think that the interview is worth too much.
i'd rather have a dr. house treat me and not dr.zoidberg
Well, like an actual job interview, they want to know that the applicant truely understands what it takes to be a Pharmacist. Marks are still worth 50% both before and after the interview, I think that's pretty reasonable. I'm glad the PCAT isn't worth more, its a stupid test designed to make a crapload of money by a huge company that probably knows very little about Pharmacy.
you can email margaret for your ranking when she's less busy (in a couple weeks)
