If UH is already reviewing your application, you should be ok. You will probably be offered an interview invitation within the next few days. Then they will give you a week to complete the pre-interview questionnaire, before the last ED interview date of October 16th. Be patient, I know it's hard
 
@72ambo Thank you for your encouragement. I will be waiting for the invitation. Hopefully, I will receive good news soon

Thanks a lot. Any tips that you could share for the interview?

In my opinion the interview is more of a way for them to see if you have personality. A lot of people can have great stats, but if you cannot communicate effectively, then how can you be a pharmacist? Be yourself, be confident, and try not to look nervous or show it. When I interviewed last Friday, it was a very laid back experience. Have fun with it.

@Danielle_2020:
Did you get the invitation ?

not yet because when they called I told them that I was retaking on oct 26. She still wanted my scores but I believe they will wait until after my next retake to see my updated scores. Everything else on my app was great though so hopefully I get in

Was parking difficult? Also how was the traffic?
 
My wife dropped me off so I wouldn't have to worry about it. There was some construction nearby but it didn't affect me getting there, just bad when leaving and heading back toward 288.

My interview was also in the afternoon so no morning traffic. I would assume if you have a morning interview, traffic could cause some delays. I would recommend a test run from your house to see how long it takes you to get there.

So last year all of the ED applicants received our decisions on the date they set (10/24 for us last year) which for you guys is 10/23. They may send it out earlier, but don't be surprised if you all find out then!

I did not apply for ED but got an interview next week which is for the ED applicants. Does that mean that I could expect to have the result around that time? Do we have to accept the offer right away?

I do not believe that next week's interview is for ED applicants. We had many RD applicants at the interview yesterday, so I think most, if not all, of ED is finished. That being said, I do not believe you will find out in advance. The college has a lot of ED applicants that are required to receive their status by 10/23 per PharmCAS so they will be focusing on that before they start making decisions on RD. Last year we had a week to accept or decline the offer. Hope that helps!
 
Had my interview yesterday, and Mr. Ely told us that both ED and RD will receive notification by 10/23, if you were RD and interviewed yesterday.
 
I have a question about dress for girls for the interview. I have an interview for this Friday so excited 😀 ,but I am not sure if I should wear a red shirt since UH School colors is red or a white shirt with my dress skirt suit. Please advice thanks!

Congrats on your interview! Either one is fine, just make sure you have a suit jacket! When I had my interview last year, I wore a red and white blouse. Looking professional is all that matters!

One more question: can we have a black portfolio with a legal pad inside instead of bringing a purse?

Absolutely! It's probably more convenient too; I brought a purse last year, and I was freaking out that I would leave it behind when we moved from room to room.
 
Hello guys, hope that your applications and interviews will go well/went well. I recently had an interview at UHCOP and was wondering how much weight is placed upon the interview process, I am eagerly awaiting a response from the admissions committee, but am curious in the meantime for the interview's weight on the overall decision.

Well, they never really tell us the answer to that, but I do know for a fact they look at the whole package, and not individual parts when they make their decisions. Some people do bad at the interview but their application is amazing and they get in, and vice versa. The interview is mainly to put some personality with that file and to see how you act around others as well as professionalism, which is something that UHCOP stresses a lot! But overall, it's not the end all or be all; it's just one factor into the decision.

Last year I thought I did horrible at my interview, but my stats were good so I'm guessing that's how I got in. It's all relative
 
Thank you for your prompt reply romaniangirl, I was also wondering if early decision applicant interviews are now over, and the interviews of this upcoming Friday (October 16th) will be primarily regular decision applicants.
 
How many people here will come to the interview tomorrow?
 
Nice to you all! I'm quite new to this forum, but I will be interviewing tomorrow at 11:50 Am. I' m so nervous and still trying to prepare for the interview process. Do interviewer ask any question that relate to the self evaluation questions that we had to submit before the due date? Oh and good luck to everyone else, too!
 
is everyone coming to the interview tomorrow early decision or regular decision?

after the "application under review email", around how long does it take to get the interview invitation email?
 
Hi guys, I am sure that you're all waiting in anticipation to hear back from the admissions committee. Is anyone super nervous?
 
Hello! I assume you will all be notified soon! good luck to all 🙂 Could anyone share some tips on the interview? Do they ask questions on the self-eval? Interview date: November 20th
Thanks in advance!

Just be yourself and enjoy the experience. Also, be active and confident. Don't let your nerves get the best of you. There is a list of possible questions on the uh pharm site. I highly recommend that you go over that. Good luck!

I am so worried that I couldn't sleep for 3 nights already. I kinda wait for the decision but don't want to see it at the same time as I don't want to be disappointed if I get a denial? 3;

I feel you T.T! But believe in yourself. If you get in (which is a HIGH possibility considering your stats), then good for them for recognizing what an amazing applicant you are. Wost case scenario you get rejected (hope not!), then it's their loss. It still doesn't change the fact you're an amazing applicant. So get some sleep! Only one more day, you can do this!
 
Anyone else constantly refreshing their email? I have a feeling we won't hear early and will just hear tomorrow.
 
Got my interview invitation for 11/20 !!! 🙂 was deferred to RD because my pharmacist submit my rec at 11:30pm before the due date, but pharmcas received it the after the due date (the next day).
 
Aww it's okay to be nervous guys! But just a heads up, the last few years, we all heard on the last day. Last year, then sent it to us about 2pm, so don't get your hopes up for a decision today or tomorrow morning. Secondly, I'm not sure if they are doing the same thing this year but I imagine they would, last year they said those that applied ED would not be denied: either accepted or tabled. So that should give you some hope, and also, UHCOP really likes to take a lot of people from ED. Most ED applicants get in. You guys did great at the interviews, and I'm excited to meet the class of 2020. Good luck for tomorrow!
