Hello, I got in UNE after April 16th interview, very new to the school, I can use some information perhaps a roommate. What is your name (maybe you are one of the tour guide for our group). Anyhow, let me know if you still interested? send me email at [email protected]. Thanks in advance. Long

CONGRATS, Long! I'm on the wailtist *sigh*

When did you get your acceptance?
 
Hey Av,
school start in sept 6, check the school academy calendar
 
Congrats to those that got in! I am also waitlisted. 🙁 I am losing hope and it frustrates me because I don't know if I should just put this behind and start with another round of application (pharmCAS starts in June, retaking PCAT? Asking for LOR, etc) I hope they can just honestly tell me if I have very little chance or no chance of getting in so that I can just move on!! Any suggestions or recommendations? TIA

Hey,
Don't give up yet! Remember, school starts in September so u still have plenty of time. I suggest u to contact the associate dean, Dr. Curt Cyr. He is a very nice guy. I applied there for the first class. I was on the wait list and I got accepted sometimes in June, but I decided not to attend UNE bc I got into my top choices school. GL!

Thank you. I emailed Janel to ask about ranking number, but she said she is unable to share it 🙁.
Dr. Curt interviewed me, and I agree he is very very nice and friendly. Should I email him to ask about where I stand in the wait list? Thank you, and good luck with your studying 🙂

I was also on the wait list and got in, around 5/3 or so. I called Janel and ask, you should too, although she will not able to give you a rank. This time around, there are going to be more selecting their top choices so I believe open seat gonna pop up. Don't loose hope. Gluck Pharmdec:xf:
 
Hi Long, when did school notify you that you were on the wait list and how long after that you got accepted? I called Janel, but I didn't get a hold from her. So I emailed her and she emailed me back to let me know that she cannot share the ranking number. She told me check back in with her next couple weeks. I don't know what to do besides waiting now. Any advice I'm very appreciated! And again, CONGRATS!!!! Did they email or call you to let you know you got in?

Hi Pharmdec

I think I am in the same boat with you. I'm also waitlisted and have not heard back since. One of my friend who also interviewed on 4/16 was waitlisted at first, but she got a call on 5/7 stating that she has been accepted. So she told me that they are pulling people off the waitlist. But it's been two weeks since then and I am so anxious about what's going on and if I should consider applying again....the anticipation is killing me🙁 but I thought it would be good to share with people that are also waiting for the news. Anyway, Good luck with everything and could you please let me know if you hear anything. TIA
 
Dear Pharmdec, I guess you have done what you could. I feel for you as I was also on the same boat. Like I said before, more seats should be opening up. Show your sincere interest in their program, keep them posted of any positive changes in your profile, etc.. Hope that help.
Btw, my waitlist to accepted turnaround is quite quick (I was waitlist, didn't even get my letter yet, I was anxious (email a couple times) so I called, couldn't get a hold of Janel either, lefted a msg, then she called me back and told me that i was accepted. Hope that is not too confusing.
Good luck to you and all those who are on the w-list. Sincerely:xf:

Thanks for sharing, TIA. One of my friends got rejected after the interview, so it's still good that we are waitlisted. I know waiting tortures us sometimes, but let's try to keep ourselves to be positive (easy said than done 😛). Surely, I will let you know if I hear anything. Good luck to you too and let's cross our fingers that we will hear a GOOD news soon :xf:

Anyone still waiting to hear back, waitlisted, or just accepted?
 
Not sure where you read that, I was actually denied last year, but then got a call in Aug 2009 if I was interested but then it was too late, since I had one missing prereq.

Hi there,

I am waitlisted and still havent heard back🙁 Do you guys know if they are still pulling people off the waitlist or that's been done already? and if they are no longer pulling people off the waitlist, does that mean they will send out the rejection letters? Thanks!

I'm waitlisted too 😛 If anyone withdraws or a seat opens up, they will pull people from the wait list. It's a bit of waiting game, so good luck! :xf:

Thanks, Pharmdec! 🙂 Good luck to you too!:xf:
 
If anyone got pulled from the wait list recently, please let us know. My friend just denied her seat.
 
Hello everyone I just got a call from the UNE admissions stating I am being accepted into the pharmacy program!!!! So what I am trying to say here is DO NOT GIVE UP and DO NOT FEEL DOWN because if I can give in, then everyone else that is still on the waitlist is having a pretty high chance of getting in. so I wish everyone the best of luck and I hope I will see all of you in fall!

Before you got accepted from the waitlist, did you have a ranking number?

Hi Pharmdec,

I did not received the call from Ms. redman, but I did received the call from another graduate counselor regarding my acceptance. I didn't ask my ranking number because I thought the school did not have a rank system. But I guess you could always give them a call and ask about that. Best of luck! 🙂

Thanks. I just emailed and they said UNE does not disclose the student's place on the waitlist. So I have to keep waiting patiently 😛
 
Did anyone get accepted from the waiting list lately? I'm still waiting patiently, but stressed out at the same time 🙁 Should I start to re-apply? Any suggestion, I will very appreciated!
 
I have an apt for rent in UNE next year.

PM me if needed

Has anyone gotten an interview? Any recommended places to stay nearby?
 
Just got an email from them for the 28th of January. I will be home in VT for a couple of weeks and hope to reschedule...but I find that possibility doubtful.
 
I have an interview there December 10. Not sure where I'll be staying yet, but I've been told theres a few hotels within close proximity to the pharmacy school.
 
i have an interview on dec. 10th. does anyone have any extra information about the interview process other than what they've told us through e-mails?
 
Hi All,

Just wanted to start the thread for UNE. Has anybody interviewed yet for this school? If so, could you let me know what the interview and the school was like? I got an interview for January 28th, 2011, so I am debating whether to go or not.

I also applied recently so i still didnt hear anything from them yet. Btw do you mind sharing your stats so I can mentally prepare whether or not I might recieve an interview. Thankss 🙂
 
Just confirmed my interview date and will be flying in on the 27th. Where are people staying for the interview on the 28th? I will probably be at La Quinta (cheap package with airline ticket and 2 miles from campus).
 
My interview is on Jan 28. I got the email on Dec 3. SO EXCITED! My flight from San Diego is $300 round-trip from Travelocity.com


Info about interview:
The interview day will begin with a welcome from the Dean of the College of Pharmacy followed by a description of the Doctor of Pharmacy program with a question and answer session/ The rest of the day's events will include your personal interview, a tour of the College of Pharmacy building and the Portland campus, a writing exercise and lunch with our current students.

Where are you staying?
Click to expand...

Undecided yet 🙁
The hotels look far from campus from what I saw on travelocity. I don't plan on driving because if it snows... I've never driven in snow (yet).

I need a hotel with free wi-fi at least because I'm taking online classes from a local community college that starts classes that week :\
... or if UNE has guest wi-fi...

Has anyone decided on where to stay? I'm looking for affordable (less than $50) a night because I'm staying night of 27th (arrival) and 28th; departure on 29th.

I'm staying at La Quinta which is about 2mi from campus on the night of the 27th.
 
The La Quinta Inn & Suites Portland is located in the heart of Portland's Ball Park District, near several popular attractions including the Portland Seadogs, Portland Expo, Merrill Auditorium, Cumberland County Civic Center, and The CAT Ferry. Take advantage of the hotel's complimentary airport shuttle service to and from the Portland Jetport, Amtrak, Greyhound Bus Terminal and Medical Centers (4:30am-10pm). The hotel features free high-speed Internet access, a complimentary continental breakfast, fitness center, business center, and a seasonal outdoor pool.

I think I'll stay there too 🙂 HOPEFULLY I'LL SEE YOU JAN 28!! 😀 :xf:
 
it was very nice meeting everyone from december 10th

We did have a blast! I am the Asian Guy from Solcal with red/navy stripped tie (there are 2 of us from Solcal, lol) sitting in the corner of the last table away from the main door. I thought the Dean was very funny and Dr. Curt was cool. I hope they would take everybody!!! :luck:

Hi Jkong,

I stayed at Howard Johnson: 6 mins drive to the school. Free internet, gym, jacuzzi, pool, in-room coffee maker, tea pot, cups (paper and ceramic), flat screen TV, clean room, steam iron, and blow dry. It's pretty neat. You can check it out on expedia or travel site.

Thanks for the tip! I already booked La Quinta though because it had a shuttle service, breakfast and internet and was not too bad of a price.

So I take it everyone's interviews were fun? 😀 good to hear! Best of luck and hopefully you hear acceptance letters soon! From last year's forum it sounded like you should hear from them in a week 🙂
 
Yes. According to Isaac I got accepted!!!! Wowhoo. If I can get in everyone can get in, cuz my GPA is super low. Good luck on your upcoming interviews!
