I applied there about a month ago, haven't heard a thing. Can't find much about them in these forums. Has anyone who's applied there heard anything?
University of Montana--Skaggs School of Pharmacy anyone?
- Thread starter GoTeamVenture
- Start date
I applied there too. But they don't do rolling admissions and the applications aren't due until Feb. 15th so we probably won't here until after that
I applied there too and we won't hear anything until about april...thats what I was told.
Are you all MT residents? I am from Billings,MT...anyone else?

Does anyone know if the recommendation and evaluation letter are the same thing? I already had one pharmacist send in a letter of rec like a month ago, but when I just submitted my app I put my pharmacy manager on there as the evaluator. I have a feeling they are the same person.....now I can't go back and change my app 
I'm gonna call the school tomorrow.
I'm gonna call the school tomorrow.I applied in January and haven't heard a thing! No e-mail or anything. Has anyone heard from them at all?
I e-mailed admissions yesterday and asked about the applications. She told me that 245 applications were received this year and that 172 were from out-of-state. That information sort of bummed me out, because I'm from out-of-state. That means if you're a MT resident you have a really good chance of getting in since historically they accept ~50 applicants from in-state and there are only 73 in-state applications this year. Also, the admissions committee is reviewing the applications now and letters will be sent out around the first week of April.
I am from out of state also, and if you look on their website, for the past several years, the maximum number of out of state students that were ever accpeted were 15! In 2005 only 8 were accepted, I think our chances are poor.
Here is the link for what I am talking about:http://www.health.umt.edu/CHPBS/prospectivestudent/SuccessfulAP.shtm
2000 apps for a school that takes ~100 students = 20 to 1 odds
175 apps for a school that takes ~10 students = 17.5 to 1 odds
Odds aren't much better.

Is UMT your first choice school or are there schools that you applied to that you'd rather attend? Any of you guys got accepted to a program?
I was just there for their Pharmacy Open House. No news on when we will hear anything. They are on Spring Break now, so probably not this week.
I hope they let you guys know soon. my good friend applied there and if he gets rejected he is moving to Michigan with me. I am selfish in wanting to know already as to know what type of place to get. Hopefully he will get in so it won't be a problem. of course the amount of out of state applications for a few spots is disheartening.
I'm an MT resident and I received a letter from them today stating that they need my spring grades to make a final decision about my application status. They also mentioned that they haven't filled the class yet, and are waiting to do so once they receive grades from applications that are being placed in a still "competitive applicant" pool. So now I have to wait until mid-june to find out...and I have to study hard this semester so that my spring grades are good.
I am in the same situation at the Univ. of AZ, they too say they need my spring grades to make a final decision. Bummer situation for me....waiting, waiting, and more waiting.

Do they require an interview??? or decisions are based only on GPAs, Letters of Recommendation, & Personal Statement?????
I got my rejection letter in the mail on Tuesday. Not surprised since I'm from out-of-state. Good luck to the rest of you guys.
