Just got accepted from their last batch of interviews!
I emailed Mary Beth about this and she said it takes 6-8 weeks for the email to start working. She said you should check it periodically to see if it works.Does anybody have access to UF webmail yet? I can log on but it says "server error account does not exist" so I am just curious.

I don't know why but I am able to login just fine. Although I did have to contact the help desk because my password expired and they had to reset it.
OIC, I have no mail as well but i don't get the server error message.I can login too. But I have no mail and a little red box comes up at the too and says "server error" so idk.
Hi guys,
I see that the application cycle has ended for most of you, congratulations on all of the acceptances. I recently decided I was interested in applying to UF pharmacy school for the upcoming cycle. I was looking for any advice you guys could give me since you just finished the agonizing process. What kind of things do I need to be aware of on pharmcas? I have a 3.8 GPA, some volunteer and research, and plan on getting some pharmacy experience if possible...Is there any advice you have about when to take the PCAT and how to study? What is a competitive composite score? Sorry for the shotgun questioning...Goodluck to all of you in your new endeavor
Hi, I'm applying this cycle. I'm from California and am interested in UF. However, like you said, since UF mostly prefers in state residents, should I even bother applying? I have a 3.5-3.6 GPA and a composite PCAT of 98. Is there a quota as to how many out of state residents they accept?
Are you out-of-state or a Florida resident? UF mostly prefers their undergrads and in-states. However, with a 3.8 GPA and if you get a competitive PCAT score of 85-90+, you should have no problem! Once you get an interview, you'll have a very good chance of getting in as long as you are a "normal" person.
Regarding the PCAT, you really have to set a schedule to study everyday. It doesn't have to be long, but that depends on the person. There are some study material out there such as Kaplan and Dr. Collins. Be sure to buy some Pearson practice exams because they are the closest practice you'll get to the real PCAT.
Good luck!
Jibby321...has your email come up yet? It seems like everyone on the facebook page has their uf email, and I was wondering if I was the only one
Thank you so much! I guess I will have to call on Monday!Yes mine finally came up 2 days ago. But I found out it was so delayed because the admissions office did not have me coded as admitted but the COP did. So I contacted Mary Beth and she had to contact the admissions office again about my status. I found this out by calling the UF computing help desk so that's how I knew my problem was that I wasn't coded yet. So if yours is still not working I would call them first and see what they say. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! I guess I will have to call on Monday!
Were/are any of you guys pharmacy technicians when applying to the previous cycle? Ive heard UF looks highly at that.
Has anyone had success installing whole disk encryption with Windows 8?
I don't think it is included in the module. I read on facebook that it should be done before you start downloading all the required programs.How far is that in the module? Before or after the personal video?

Yeah, I didnt have it either but it is a great source of information. You should sign up. They have an all campus group, an orlando group, and a 1PD survival guide group. I totally recommend it. About the whole disk encryption, I think I am going to have to spend 70 dollars and upgrade to windows 8 pro since WDE comes with the program .Oh, I am unaware of that. I don't have a Facebook so that may be part of the reason.

Yes, I have been for 3 years.
But, my girlfriend has no pharmacy experience and got accepted too.
I dont know why its not in the module but it does state it under the security tab at this link: http://pharmacy.ufl.edu/education/student-affairs/admissions/student-computer-requirements/. People on facebook have suggested installing the encryption program before any of the other programs because the encryption program might lose your files. Therefore, you should back up everything on your computer prior to installation. Yes, that is what they are going to check at orientation.I've heard it pretty useful. Where do you so the encryption at if it is not in the module? Is that what they are going to check at orientation?
I think it will, good luck!Ok good. I hope my 7+ years tech experience has a positive impression on UF adcoms.

I think you might have to pay for PG but if you have windows you can install TrueCrypt which is free. You should try that first.Is the encryption thing something you have to buy? I went to that link and it was talking about like PG so I clicked on that link and it said it was like 1,100. So I don't think that was right. Lol

I'm almost done I just have to post the video and do the paraphrasing assignment.Has anybody finished the computer competency module?
I'm almost done I just have to post the video and do the paraphrasing assignment.
I think as long as everything is graded it should be fine. Did it take a while for you to get a grade for Response Ware?I'm done. And have everything graded I just didn't know if we get like a conformation or something. Oh well.
