I'm just waiting for someone to say "Hey guys, I live in Nebraska and received my letter today as well, better luck next year."

I'm a good 20ish miles out west, so we'll see. Thanks for the emotional support.

I didn't get mine either.
Although, I do know someone who got theirs in northwest FL, but I didn't get mine in Alabama.

I got mine several days after everybody else last round. Don't lose hope!

Good luck to all those still waiting...Probably Monday

[UFpharma]

Im going to UF!!!

 

[PharmApp2008]

Rock on!

 

[pharmrose]

😀 I got in! YAY!!! I wasn't home all day today, so I had my brother check the mail...I was shaking when he told me that I got in. It's still unbelievable! This feeling is indescribable 😍

Side note - I also got a rejection letter from Mercer, but who cares??? Not me 😀

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

 

[benmap]

Congrats Pharmrose and UFpharma.🙂🙂 😎
..hic hic...this waiting is killing me.....🙁

That is pretty funny. When did you interview at Mercer? I'm shocked that Mercer would be dumb enough to reject someone that UF would accept.

True....May be because she did not really focus on her application for Mercer....

 

[pharmrose]

Well, I submitted my app to pharmcas in August and sent out all supplemental apps to all the schools in late October. My October pcat scores were horendous!!! So that could be a major factor...
Also, I'm current on the alternate's list for LECOM-Bradenton; that decision was made before my January pcat scores were sent out.
I didn't even interview at Mercer. Overall, I'm not bummed about Mercer at all...although I wish LECOM would get back to those on the list sooner.

Good luck, probablytoolate, benmap, & everyone still waiting! Hope you guys get your letters this week!

 

[CambioElMundo]

Congratulations to all of you accepted to UF! YEAH!🙂

I am really happy for you, as many of you I have PM ed personally, and I wish you all of the best next year. Hopefully, after my May 15th Interview, I will be a gator too!🙂

I am sure you will. Seriously, I have no doubts.

 

[tangentlink]

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! The packet is huge and lists a lot of things to do. Try to complete everything as quickly as possible, especially immunizations, to minimize the delay and ease the transition.

 

[probablytoolate]

Do we know if they also sent out rejections?

I still haven't heard a word.

Yay!

 

[benmap]

Yay...I got mine today too...so happy....See you guys next Fall....

For those of you who have been accepted, was there a required deposit, and did you get a confirmation that your decision form was received by the college of pharmacy? also, is the decision form the only thing due within 7 days of receiving the acceptance letter?

I do not believe there is a deposit due. Also, you have to contact them to see if they received your decision form because they do not let you know when they get it. That document is the only thing due in 7 days.

Well, I first faxed the decision form to make sure they will have something at least...Then I sent my mail in certify way that I ensure the mail will go to the hand of Penny [cost 2.99$ to certify it in post office]....Plus, I found there was no deposit so, I assume it is a "no" also....

 

[StringTheorist]

congrats to everyone who got in! and to those who havent received word yet, dont lose hope!

ill see you all at orientation (for gville campus). ill be on student panel, dogging the values of a 4.0. lol.😛

 

[21PharmD]

Has anyone gotten word from financial aid regarding how much they are willing to help out in terms of loans?

 

[stylerprodigy]

Somewhere in the letter of acceptance states that the financial aid office will contact us by email or something around June or July I forgot which one. Anyone here mailed in everything yet?

 

[CambioElMundo]

My Interview is approaching, and I was wondering if any of you were nervous before yours? Did the school try to make you comfortable? Was there a bunch of waiting or did things move fairly quickly? How many candidates were at your interview? Overall, How did you like this interview compared to others? If any of you have input on these questions, I would appreciate that! Thanks!🙂

Congratulations again to all of those accepted!

I am mailing everything in all together at the end of this month. I am just waiting to get my CPR cert renewed on the 21st since it expires in September and I have to get my second round of immunizations around the same time. I requested transcripts for Spring 08 today to be sent to UF. I also had one sent to me to include with all my paperwork just in case. 👍

I recently got an e-mail about a Q&A session at the Orlando campus on the 23rd and another in July. Anyone going?

 

[stylerprodigy]

I think I might attend the one on the 23rd for Orlando Q&A. I graduated last December and never took a class since so the Academic Update is latest I have update. Do you think I need to send in another transcript to UF? I guess I will go out and buy manila envelope to put everything and send it all at once.

 

[PharmApp2008]

I will be in Apopka on May 23rd. I am looking forward to meeting everybody!

 

[UFpharmD]

I recently got an e-mail about a Q&A session at the Orlando campus on the 23rd and another in July. Anyone going?

Is this just for students going to the Orlando campus? I didn't get an e-mail. An information session would be nice though...

 

[stylerprodigy]

Correct it is for Orlando only. Maybe St Pete will have something like this later on before classes begin.

 

[pharmrose]

Question: does anyone have a contact number or email so I can reassure myself that they've received my decision form?
I received the packet on April 26, and I sent it on April 28 through regular mail (should've got delivery confirmation). I didn't get an email about the Q&A on the 23rd so I'm a little worried now. I did get something from the financial aid office telling me I have to make corrections on the fafsa.
So if someone has the contact info, please share. Thanks!

 

[KTbug]

I emailed Penny Fultz to confirm my acceptance was received. Her email is [email protected]

 

[benmap]

Well, I sent the mail by certify that meant I am sure that the mail will go to Penny Fluzts; plus, I did send the fax to her...I sent it last Thursday, and I haven't got the email regarding about May 23rd also...Dont worry, I think it will come soon....

 

[21PharmD]

I emailed Penny Fultz to confirm my acceptance was received. Her email is [email protected]

I also sent an email regarding confirmation, but still no response?

 

[stylerprodigy]

THIS INFORMATION IS FOR ORLANDO PEOPLE ONLY

You guys might want to email Ms. Tracy Stuck at [email protected] and tell her you want to attend the Orlando Q&A session on May 23, 2008 if you wish. It is from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. The email she sent me stated that we will have an opportunity to meet and ask current students about the campus, courses, and how it's like to be a pharmacy student at Orlando. We will also have a chance to purchase new and used books there as well. If May 23 is inconvenient there is July 25 with the same time.

I will be at the May 23rd one, that's why I'm letting you guys know so I can meet as many people as possible. Hope to see some of you there!

 

[pharmrose]

Hey, guys. I sent Penny an email 2 weeks ago, and she didn't reply. I also called last week and caught the machine, and she still haven't replied. I'm sure that my decision form got there in time, but not definitely knowing is racking my brains.

Anyways, I'm finishing up on the packet, and I have some questions. Maybe someone can help. The internship license application, do we mail that to the state of Florida board of pharmacy? or UF? or both?
Also, what is the official state of Florida immunization form? This is the third doctor I've been to since coming to the US, and he didn't have any of my original shots records. I actually had to go to my county's public school management to obtain my shot records. Do I obtain this from my past doctors?
Thanks!

 

[UFpharmD]

The internship license application, do we mail that to the state of Florida board of pharmacy? or UF? or both?
Thanks!

I believe you complete the Pharmacy Internship License form with a copy of your SS card and send it to UF because on the form there is a space for the dean to sign it. And they will take an internship picture of you at orientation, post it on there, and I believe they will mail it in to the florida BOP. So no, they'll mail it in for you.

As far as immunizations go, I just went to the UF infirmary (I went here for undergrad), requested a copy, and just sent that in. I think it would suffice. Perhaps your undergraduate school has a copy of it?
