That sounds nice I really am afraid I will Have to reapply next year I got a masters in toxicology and drug chemistry from UF a 3.6 GPS in grad school but i think my 63 PCAT wont let me in, I guess I will retake it after may
Man I really hope so!!! Well Good luck on your interview !!when is it by the way??
How are you all doing I know most of you have probably already been accepted and are experience in the field. I am currently a UF Graduate Student and my masters is in Clinical, forensic toxicology with a dual degree on drug Chemistry from UF; My Graduate GPA is 3.6 and my undergraduate is 3.2. I know that sound good but I only got a 63 on the PCAT!!! I had just had surgery and was so tired by the end. I have some good work experience as a pharmtech for a vet pharmacy supplier for 2 years and recommendation letters from the MD director of that company and a UF Vet School professor. SO Do you guys think I have a realistic Chance to get in at this point I applied back in January but UF told me application was only processed until march!
Thanks for the good energy man I really hope so I dont want to work for a year and waste more timeWow! your background looks good! PCAT scores are not the only thing that determine your acceptance to the school. I'm sure you will get a interview!
!
I think one of the biggest reasons we all think we'll hear back within a week is because the last group that interviewed in Gainesville heard back that quickly. I wish it could be us, too, but I know other groups didn't hear back so soon. So I'm gonna try to remain patient! But yes, my interview was last Friday!
Accepted.
Congrats y'alls.
Maybe.
Congrats to everyone
A few tips
-Weigh classes accordingly, don't waste time on a minor quiz when a major exam is on the same day
-Make friends with upperclassmen ASAP! Some professors are ok with you using old exams/quizzes to study, don't be shy about asking the 2's and 3's for their stuff, it helps A LOT!!!
-Striving for a 4.0 will make you miserable, not to mention it nearly is impossible. There are several years in the Dean's List where 0/~300 were able to get all A's (and this was before they introduced the +/- system last year)
-Don't join 4 organizations, just stick to 1 or 2 that you can make an impact on
-Find a way to de-stress yourself outside of school
-Traditionally every campus has maintained and kept to their own facebook page, but last year we started a facebook group involving all 4 campuses and it has worked out great, look into it
There will be times when you feel absolutely terrible as you cram for your billionth exam and you're on the verge of breaking down. Just remember the adcoms saw something in you resembling greatness, and that there is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck!
