Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new thread this year for all applicants applying for admission of Fall 2018! Has anyone applied, or had an interview, or heard back yet?

How was the interview?
And if you don't mind, can you share your stats?
 
Although UNT was my first interview, I feel like it was a very relaxing interview. Relaxing in the way that the faculty members are really nice and helpful. They help you stay calm and not panic over the interview. There is a writing portion and calculation portion that was not difficult considering you've taken the pcat. writing portion is more about your experiences in life (at least mine was). calculation portion is more about conversions and basic math. Interview portion was with 2 people (one pharmacist one student I think), both were really nice and really help you feel more comfortable.

My stats getting in:
GPA:2.6 (yes I know that is like literally the worst gpa in the world)
PCAt: 87 composite
Bio: 94
Chem: 92
Reading: 59
Quant: 77
Writing: 2

If you are asking about the interview in particular, my tip to you would be to make sure you have a good story/foundation to build around. Example: let's say you've been a musician for 10 years. How has this helped you? You can say something along the times of how practicing everyday has helped you build up a strong work ethic. Or dedication and motivation towards an instrument has shown you that hard work can apply to other areas of life. Same thing applies to why you are interested in pursuing the field of pharmacy. Hope this helps!

Well, I think they’re waiting for the fall 2017 transcripts to be updated for interview consideration( not sure) but, I did apply to two other schools and I got an interview request from both of them. However, UNT is my first choice.

For any of you hasn't received the invitation, did you finish your Pre-req?

2 days before Christmas, I received an email about academic update on my A&P 1 course, mentioning it is required before any final decision can be made regarding an interview.

I think as long as you can finish pre-reqs in time, it shouldn't hinder your chances of receiving an interview. On my interview day, there were still a fair amount of people who were taking pre reqs in 2018 spring.
 
Yeah, I think it's only required for those who will finish pre-reqs in Fall 2017 like me; not for those in Spring 2018.

I just got accepted today from the Hold list last week, and will give up my waitlist position at UT Tyler. Good luck to y'all.

No, I only apply to UNT and UT Tyler, with UNT as my first choice. Texas Tech doesn't have General Coursework Exemption for Bachelor degree like UNT and UT Tyler.
