I feel like a little part of me dies every time I get an email. I never knew how many emails I get every day before these last 2 weeks.

I feel the same way...
However, it seems no one has gotten a response from the January 12 interview yet from what I can see on here.
Now it's the weekend. Next Monday starts 3 weeks from the interview date.

They did say 2-4 weeks. Although I (wrongly) assumed that we would hear back before the January 30th interview date.

During the October 10th interview, we were told to expect decisions by email within 1-2 weeks. Decisions ended coming on the 14th day exactly. So perhaps the decisions will lean toward the 4-week mark.
 
My interview was on Jan/12th. I has recieved an tabled decision email an hour ago
 
also interviewed on 1/12, received an acceptance e-mail an hour ago

I ask about their personal research and ambitions as a pharmacist.

Why should I pick UH over other schools?
 
Congrats!! Do you mind sharing your stats ?

thank you, my cumulative GPA was 3.2 and science gpa: 3.3, PCAT: 91
extracurricular: undergrad research, volunteered for 1 year in a hospital pharmacy
I know don't have the best stats but it could have been because I had good LORs and a strong personal statement. best of luck!
 
Just got in yesterday. Apparently I have to send them stuff including $400 by Feb 16. Will I get that $400 back if I decline them later? I'm still waiting on UT's reply.

Did you interview on Jan. 12? I still haven't heard anything. Congrats by the way.
 
Yeah I interviewed the 12th. So basically I have to pay the $400 and then not get it back? That kinda sucks.

Thats the point of a deposit or commitment. It make great sense for a school who needs to identify the entering class asap, such as pharmacy. Sucks for us but you have to understand the schools position. Some are $1500...be thankful.lol
 
I didn't contact them yet since it is still technically in the 4th week. But I'm starting to wonder because I still didn't get anything today. The way I see it they have until Friday to contact me. Although this is getting kind of crazy and I do feel forgotten about.

I had inteview on jan 12th. I received a tabled decision email on Monday Jan/26th. They will let me know their final decision in 2 more weeks which is next Monday. I already got accepted to other program so I am not worry too much. However, I just want to let you know about it so you can have an ideas of expected time to hear back from them. Good luck!

Thanks,
I emailed one of the advisers yesterday and didn't hear anything from anyone today either. We'll see if they send me anything Monday.
This seems crazy though. No one else has said they haven't heard back.
=(

Yeah I'm having the same dilemma too...I haven't heard any back either. Interviewed on Jan 12 as well.

Try emailing Mr. Ely. He has always responded to my emails very quickly and since he is the director of admissions, he might be able to give you more information.

I heard back weeks ago and was accepted...seems a little strange, but I hope you hear back with success soon!
 
Yeah I've definitely considered it and tried to look into it. I asked at the interview if anyone knew about it, and no one had any information. Are you looking into it?
Yes, you have to complete your first year to be considered for admission

Oh thank god! I am not the only one. I've been looking at the forms and I'm like, okay, everyone seems to have heard something back already. Even the person that was told they were tabled was told they would hear back by this coming Monday (the 16th). So I was very confused as to why I hadn't gotten SOMETHING. Okay, I feel a little better now knowing that I'm not the only one.
Thanks for the advise romaniangirl. I will try emailing Mr. Ely too.

Hahaha yeah, I saw your post and created an account to let you know that you're not the only one. PharmCAS just updated my GPA for the academic update, but I don't know whether or not to send an email tomorrow or next week.

So maybe that has something to do with it. I didn't do my PharmCAS update till last week. I emailed Mr. Ely and he said that he verified they had not sent me an email and that I would know before he did and to just hang tight. Thank you for creating an account to let me know I'm not the only one. I would just wait until later this week or next, he won't be able to tell you anything just verify that they haven't sent you anything. I'll let you know when I get my email. One thing I'll say that 2 weeks of looking at my phone every five seconds was a waste of my life. Now I'm just like, oh well it's past time when they were supposed to tell me so I guess it will just come when it comes. No use staring at my email all day anymore.

Are they waiting for a verification email that you updated it or are they also waiting for pharmCAS to update our GPAs?

I received the email today at 4:00pm and I got accepted!! Good luck to you all! 😀
 
so do you think ur acceptance is dependent on the academic update?

ugh, i didnt send my transcript early enough and the office received it 2 weeks later on 2/12 because of the cold weather up north.... now im anxious.

congrats! do you know about how long it took for pharmcas to update your GPA? i've updated mine awhile ago but still nothing.

I am wondering the exact same thing... there are some have interviewed in November and got accepted without an academic update yet. So does that change for those that interviewed in January? My GPA hasn't really changed after fall semester.
 
im guessing november peeps get accepted without the academic update cuz the update period starts mid december. welps, who knows.

my friend from the 1/30 interview got rejected today... i thought i might get an email of their decision today too but i guess not.
 
Just got accepted! Congrats to everyone! Can't wait to meet you guys =)

I'm not sure, but that's what I was thinking the whole time I was waiting because it took me 5 weeks to hear back. Good luck to you!
