You're looking better than me. 3.21 GPA, 82 PCAT, great LOR's, no leadership experience. I worked 40 hours per week while going to school full time for my first degree. With all of the classes and work, I had no time to do any sort of volunteer/leadership things. It's the only part I'm slightly concerned about.

May I ask you how your interview process was? Was it hard/stressful? Was it included a lot of ethnic questions? I know you are not allow to disscuss the questions they asked you during the interview. I just like to know about the process so I can prepare for it. I have mine next week and I am super nervous.

Yeah I can't discuss the questions, but it was really good. I don't get that nervous during the interview its more of an anxious feeling before the interview lol But there is two interviews, one with a pharmacist and one with the faculty member. There is also a writing portion which isn't hard or anything. The interview overall was good, it was a laid back interview but also professional at the same time. They also give you a tour and stuff. The current students are really nice also, I met them while we were waiting for our interviews lol Everyone is very nice and you just need to relax and be yourself

So excite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone
So excite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone
Congratulations !!!!
Congrats everyone here of choosing pharmacy as their lifetime profession.
My name is Joey Nguyen, a current first year student at UNT System College of Pharmacy. I know how everyone here is feeling because I was in the same situation last year. UNT pharmacy admission is a long process; what makes it worse is that you can do nothing except to wait. I was worried, and checking my email every ten minutes. But ya'll know what? I eventually missed the phone call about my acceptance. What I want to share is that if something is determined to happen, then it will happen sooner or later. If you had been working hard during your undergrad years, I trust that you can make it in this competitive process.
If there is any questions, don't hesitate to post them. I'll do my best to help

I got offered an interview for 10/24, but had to reschedule due to personal conflicts and I have a few questions about UNT.
I know it's only been two months, but how have you enjoyed UNT so far?
How are the professors there? Are they easy to approach and willing to help?
What are the pros/cons of being such a new program?
Based on the current progress of the program, is UNT on track towards accreditation?
What is Fort Worth (oops) like as a city?

Did you check out some apt complex in the vicinity as well?
Haha! No i have not yet done that yesterday. I finished my interview at 5 and i worn out. I just wanted to go home. Lol. Where do you live? I live an hour away from Forth worth and I have friends there. I can ask them if u need information about apartment conplex.Did you check out some apt complex in the vicinity as well?
Thanks, but I did not apply to UNT. Currently I am still waiting for Texas A&M and it's my No.1 school. Most of my prerequisits were taken overseas so I am not qualified for UNT. Most of schools here in Texas are not friendly to international students/credits.
Did you apply to Texas Tech? You can choose P3/P4 over here in Dallas, close to where you live.

Yes i applied to texas Tech and A&M. I haven not heard anything from them. I think they are still busy with Early decision
So far, I've really enjoyed all my classes. In the first semester, the classes I'm taking is Pharmaceutics, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacy Practice, Self Care, Clinical case study, Skill Lab, and IPPE. Pharmaceutics is my favorite class so far. Here I've learned about new stuffs such as tablets, powder, oinment, cream as drug dosage forms. Also I am reviewed of many old stuffs from undergrad years such as base and acids, buffer, or pH. There are assignment readings for each class session, and I've been getting used to this pattern until now.
In our class, everyone is friendly and we're trying to help others each day. Not like in undergrad years when you come to class, and then leave by yourself. Here people are socializing inside and ouside of class such as this week P1 and P2 met and played volleyball together.
The professors at UNT system are very friendly; They're happy to help me out when I have questions. Dr Wu, one of the physiology professors, actuaclly danced in class to describe the concept of cardiac waves. On the other hand, there are a few professors with mild accent that you really need to read the assignment before coming to class.
As your concern, I was also worried about whether UNT pharmacy school can get accredited through ACPE, but then I simply believe that when this pharmacy is developed, both the student body and the falculties are working hard to achieve the accreditation. Our goal is not to open a pharmacy school, and then get it disqualified. I trusted the school when I applied; I strongly encourage you to give us your trust once you've applied at UNT system. And as you know now this past summer, UNT college of pharmacy has been granted its candidate status, we expect to get fully accredited in 2017!
The good side about our new program is that the falculties are willing and considering the student body voice. As I know there was a meeting between the professors and students to give their evaluation about the program last year. Thanks to the current P2, our class was given one week break during the couse of this semester. Also at UNT, each month pharmacist students are involved in a learning activity on campus with TCOM , PA, Nursing, Social worker, Public health students to learn about each profession . It is called Interprofessional Education (IPE); here in professional programs we are learning not only to pass exams, but to be a professional and a team member.
I'm from Austin. But I fall in love with Fort Worth when I moved here. The city is not that much crowded compared to Houston or Austin. If you live close to UNT System within 5-8 miles range, there are Walmart, Sam's club, and variety of restaurants from Chinese to Mexican. Looking for place to play? don't worried we'll show you where next year.
Thank you! Congratulations to you also.
In your interview session, did you see many international students or merely none as described on UNT website? Could not believe it's one of the harsh schools that completely shut doors to internationals.
Man, I should have applied. j/k/ I am pretty happy with A&M now. Do you know your tuition rate yet? A&M just mentioned a tuition increase for class entering 2015, but has not updated it on the website. With this bleak economy and forecast saturation, I guess everyone wants to head into the cheapest schools.
a&
I wanna go to A&M or tech because Their tuition is a lot cheaper. I looked at the tuition rate for UNT before but I forgot the exactly ammount. However, it is expensive than A&M and Tech.
Im happy for you that you got accepted to A&M. It seem like a very neat school.
Just interviewed today! 1-5 p.m.
Everyone was so wonderful! It was an enjoyable experience! Definitely considering UNT now
Who were you at the interview? I was one of the other 7 or 8 people there =0!
