UF Pharmacy Application Cycle Class of 2018

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hello! I have submitted my UF application in November with no word yet.
I have a 61 PCAT with a 91 in chemistry.
3.3 gpa, 3.1 science gpa.
what do you guys think?! got a change?

I would say you got a chance. I got accepted this cycle with a similar gpa, my PCAT composite was in the high 80s however. Extra currics and pharmacy experiences definitely helped to solidify my application

They are reviewing applications with science GPA of 3.0 and above and PCAT of 80 and above. I guess if you don't meet both of the requirements they wont review it for now. They progressively start moving down as more students are accepted.

Hey Chiadude! I have a almost the same statistics except my pcat is in the 90's. I was wondering what type of extracurriculars and pharmacy experience did you have? Thanks beforehand and congratulations on being accepted!
 
Does anyone know how many students have been accepted to UF Gainesville or any other campus for this cycle?

Thank you!
I've volunteered for a couple years now in a hospital pharmacy. I did an internship a retail pharmacy to get licensed as a tech. These experiences gave me a ton of topics/examples to discuss and expand on during my interview, which I think made the difference. Running a couple of event, & groups. Then the run of the mill pre-pharm, honor societies, etc. in college that most people have.

Ya it's super weird. Oh well, what can you do? We just have to stay patient I guess. Doesn't feel good waiting that long and hearing nothing though.

Yea definitely hang in there though. I applied back in september and I'm just now hearing back from them. Mostly because my PCAT was a 72 I think.

Yeah they recently just started reviewing applications with PCAT scores below 80. I had my interview last month and got in. Did they give you an interview? I got in but im thinking of taking a year off and applying to Med school instead.

I have heard back with interview invitations from all the other schools I applied to except UF. I am considered out of state for all of them. I have a 3.67 GPA with 99% PCAT, and research, leadership, and pharmacy experience. I listed St. Petersburg as my first choice campus. What is the deal?
Congrats on your PCAT score! How did you study for the exam? I plan on taking the PCAT in September.... I need all the help I can get. :)
 
I interviewed last Thursday and got my conditional acceptance letter today via email.

I was actually was supposed to be in your class but i ended up going to tally and it didn't work out for me there personally so i resubmitted my app. I regret so badly not going with uf the first time but everything happens for a reason everyones been telling me. I just want the chance to finish what i started:) you know what i mean
 
Bummer sorry to hear it didn't work out for you in Tally. We're you at FAMU? What happened if you don't mind me asking. Here's to hoping you hear back from UF soon! Did you interview at the Orlando campus?
