I interviewed last Friday (Oct. 13th) but haven't heard back yet. Have you had your interview yet? I haven't heard of the class size being 160 but I may be wrong.

The interview went extremely well! I went in nervous as can be but left feeling pretty confident because of how relaxed the process was. Yeah I was pretty surprised to see them accepting someone with a PCAT that low but I'm sure that person had a stellar GPA and experience. Are you still waiting for your interview or have you finished it already?
Congrats!! Did you interview on the 13th or 21st of this month? My status still says waiting on decisions :|
I had mine on the 21th.
The interview was great, they ask only about yourself ( answer it in confidence and honest, don't give them what they want to hear). They may ask you an ethical question ( you can ask them to give you a minute before answer it), think carefully before you answer it.
I know someone who had an interview on 13th and got acceptance on 27th. So, I think it takes about two-weeks after your interview
what if my goal is coming to a third-world country to help the poor children for their medical need?
Then be a doctor, PA/NP or a nurse. Pharmacy does not really give you the opportunity to help people in the way you may think. Yes, you can answer the public's questions about the best OTC product to use for diarrhea or a cold, but the amount of work that gets placed on you during the work day, doesn't even allow for that. In retail you are a robot, you lose your dignity and your humanity. If you want to get a hospital job, good luck... there are few positions and those pharmacists are not retiring. The most important things are time and student loans. Don't waste your youth and money pursuing a field with limited options.
As a pharmacist, I can do lot of things in my country.
That is wonderful, I am glad that you have more opportunities there. In America, the system is very different. Unfortunately, a lot of the people who go into pharmacy are not aware of what the profession entails.
I don't know what you have to go through now, but I hope the best for you. The job you have right now may not worth for what you have been through to become a pharmacist. However, there is more than one solution to solve a problem. Hope for the best!
I'm wondering the same thing here. Please share if you got invited!
I hope so.
I had taken both ochem 1 and 2 before I took PCAT. And I do have about 50 hours of volunteer work with refugee.
Dr. Collins is more like the real PCAT and does an amazing job preparing you for chem section especially.
Did you see any specific questions that I pointed out?
Sure.
I haven't been on because I've been busy getting everything sent to them before all the deadlines (fingerprint clearance, vaccine hx, etc.). I'm not sure where all that talk about "run away" came from but I don't think this is the thread for it. Take that negativity and go to a different thread where you can scare prospective students away from their dreams. I've worked 2 retail pharmacy jobs and NONE of the pharmacists were "over-worked", nor were they "robots." They were passionate pharmacists that absolutely loved what they do. Also, I have family in 2 different Banner hospital pharmacies and they ave 3 postings for clinical/staff pharmacists so I'm not sure where people get their "facts" from with regard to how hard it is to land a pharmacist job. Got accepted into the PHX campus last week!!!
On a side note, good luck to everyone who has or is about to interview!! It took them almost 3 weeks to accept me after my interview so try not to worry!
