University of Minnesota

[jssteel]

I was accepted to the University of Minnesota in December early admission. Has anyone else been accepted there?

I was extremely impressed with the campus and facitilities during my interview and it is ranked as one of the top five pharmacy schools in the country.

U of M is a great school. They are big on research and are really involved with the community. Also, they are trying to become more inclusive and diverse with a lot of programs and activities for people from all walks of life. And Minneapolis is a decent city that is pretty metropolitan despite not being too large. I enjoyed the school and the city during my time there (though I hated the weather). Congratulations!

Have you checked out the Roll Call thread stickied at the top of the forum? People list their acceptances there, and there happens to be someone with a UM acceptance listed. Congrats to you.

I applied early admission and interviewed at the beginning of December. If you applied to the general applicant pool, don't worry you will hear soon. I wish you the best of luck!!!!

The online supplemental has 4 essay questions, I believe. They also have you write two timed essays (30 minutes total for both) on the day you interview. The questions were straight forward and pretty easy to answer though.

I don't mind at all.

GPA is around 3.4 depending on last semester's grades.
I scored a composite of 78 on the PCAT.

I have been doing clinical research in breast cancer and infertility at Northwestern University in Chicago since I graduated 2 years ago. Many of the studies I work on are drug trials. I think that experience and the fact that my GPA at Northwestern is 3.7 helped though.

I wish you the best of luck!

The interview is extremely laid back. They do not drill you with tough questions; they just want to get to know you. The style of interview was definitely conversational.

The essays are nothing to worry about...really. They are just two short questions that you access via your supplemental application. They will have you bring your pharmcas ID and supplemental appication password on the day of the interview in order to log on.

Let me know if you want to know anything else.
