hey there ding, i live in houston so you may get yours on Mon! when i didn't see anything on Friday I thought the adcom has either not met yet or :thumbdown: boo for me but it turned out to be a beautiful sat!

:luck: i'm crossing my fingers for you...stay positive!!!!

p.s. my interviewer said that the adcom usually only met once a month but if it seems like they met after the 3/3 interviews and the 3/14 interviews. they must be meeting up after every 2 group...just speculating...so glad i didn't have to wait another 2 weeks...i would have gone gray!

i'm going. i just turned in my signed letter of acceptance to the school a few hours ago. i'm a UH student already so no need to worry about snail mail, moving, and all the other fun stuff etc...

p.s. if any out of towners are looking for good apts or townhouses for rent i work inside the loop and people are always posting rentals on our company want ads.
 
Yeah!!!!!!! Accepted!

Many thanks to all who cheered for me and helped me!
Genuine, you are the one I thank most, I wouldn't have done that well at the interview without reading the interview feedback section. You guided me there!

BTW, anyone know how to decline an offer that I already accepted? I am talking about Texas Tech, I had to accept first to meet their deadline, now I need to tell them I won't go... Shall I write them a letter or just email?
 
i just sent an email to houston to tell them i was turning down their acceptance and they replied the next day telling me congrats

Haha, thank you for your support through the weekend! My mindset is simple when I read the letter. I read the "Congratulations!" then I decided to call my friends and treat them a dinner! Now I am calming down to figure out how to fill out the forms...

I see. I was just thinking that I might need to be more formal to turn down an offer that cost me some $150 + :D

Also for Tech, I e-mailed the admission committee and CC'd Mike with my "rejection" e-mail. They didnt respond, but my status on their website now shows "Declined".

So did u interview at UT as well.. or is this your #1 choice?

No, I didn't apply to UT. My friend's case was kind of screwed there 3 years ago, so I was a little afraid of their application process. I decided to invest my limited energy on feasible targets, the other one I applied is OU. Houston is definitely my first choice, I love the city and culture and food.... and UH/TMC really impressed me! I can't be happier!

Good For you! There's nothing like getting in the school of your choice. I agree with the TMC area.. its wonderful. So if I dont hear from Austin... then I should be seeing you in Houston :) Would be fun to start the program with the SDN folks! :thumbup:

haha uhh mike emailed me and was like, the deadline for accepting our offer has passed. please confirm you wish to decline. i felt so bad that i didn't give them a prompt answer when i got the acceptance :( so i emailed him and was like yes, i'm declining it. then he emailed me back and was like thank you.

I think your GPA and PCAT are both good. Don't worry too much about the late interview, it's just because you applied late. You should stand a good chance as long as you are invited. For preparation, just go to the interview feedback site and write down all the questions listed there. I did the same thing and rehearsed before interview, only one question fell out of my list......

Hey Glitterstar,

Congratulations again on your interview!!!

Like Ding said, really prepare from the Qs on the interview feedback on this site... most Qs come from there... be ready to write an essay and do a group dilemma assignment. And of course get plenty of rest.

Dont get discouraged thinking u got invited late in the game --- cuz if they didnt need anyone else they wouldnt be sending out invitations any more.... So u still have chances.

Just Shine on!

Good Luck, :thumbup:
:)

Wow.. how do u two know each other? Ya I also know a lot of pre-pharm indians at utd too! U may or may not know me ;) ... lol, we may have crossed paths sometime in UTD.... who knows.... :D
 
Genuine said:

LOL :D .. Anywhoz, i tried to pm u, but it said ur box or something was too full.. so here it is:

LOL.. u r a smart cookie!... about the avoiding telling name :oops: .. I'll tell u eventually though ;) ... Yes I am indeed a christian. U? Life is okay... i mean it could be better but it then again, it could be so much worse and I thank God for that.

UT definitely needs to stop playing games w/ us. It's not really nice. Oh wellz, the good thing is that it's already April 7th, EVENTUALLY, SOMETIME, we will hear from them. I just hope they give us enough time to plan out stuff before school.

O.K. adios for now!:)

Would it be possible to take 1 year worth of pre-reqs at a school that doesnt offer Pharmacy then transfer into a pre-pharm program at another school as a 2nd year student? It seems to be a better route since entry into the professional program is very competative and students in the pre-pharm program are guaranteed entry. Is this a possiblility or is the pre-pharm curriculum available only to freshmen applicants?


being a pre-pharm student at a campus that has a pharm school doesn't give automatic acceptances. There are like over 300 or 400 students or whatever on campus here at UH and only 127 spots open for the upcomingclass. and if they are like my class and the class before....not all of them are going to be from UH.

some schools may given leniency but i think its fair game for anyone to get accepted.

Thanks for the reply. I talked to URI and was told bluntly that they didn't like transfers and generally prefer currently enrolled students. MCPHS - Boston seemed a bit more accomodating though.

PS: Sorry for Hijacking the thread. I accidentally posted the question in here and quickly deleted it when I saw what I did.
