UOP 2009 application process

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I had some questions about this whole tier business. So, what exactly has to be received in order to be considered for placement in a certain tier?? For example, is tier placement in accordance with when your pharmcas is received, your supplemental and pharmcas is received, both, or when ALL your materials are received???? Thank you for your input!😀

This is what you will see when you check your application status for UOP after you have submitted PHarmCAS and your supplementals. You will mailed a letter about 5 weeks after submission and the letter will have your ID number to check your status.

The file complete date on the right will tell you what Tier your application is processed for. If it is on or before 8/1, then you're in Tier 1. If on or before 9/5, you're in Tier 2, and after that it's all in Tier 3.

Tier 1 supposedly has the highest chance and Tier 3 is most competitive. It even says so on the UOP website. Good luck.

Anyone got that interview invite sent out today?

you can email [email protected] with your changes~ you dont have to mail in the hard copy. if you have questions about it, email her, she responds fast
 
Yes! I got an invitation letter from Pacific. Getting really nervous now.
 
What was your PCHK date on the application checker? I'm also a tier 1, but haven't heard anything yet.
 
Also got a letter for an interview today! Completed my app on 7/31. Time to get a suit...
 
looks like central california people got the invites today...southern californians should expect invites tomorrow!:scared:🙂
 
congratss!~ whats does the pchk stand for? pre-req check?
 
Fresno is basically the center of Cali, so yeah. Stockton is in the valley so it's pretty much in our backyard. I'd say it should take another day for it to get to So. Cal...the letter is dated 09/19. 😳

livevive and fresnopharmD...CONGRATS!!!!!

is there anyway you guys can post stats? or PM stats?

Thanks.
 
Thanks guys. For those who were curious this is a rough idea of my app...

Anticipated B.S. in biology by May 2009 - honors program at CSU Fresno
Overall GPA: 3.65
Overall science: 3.32
Non-science: 3.93

3 years experience as pharmacy clerk at Kaiser Permanente
Not really any current leadership...solid volunteer hours but mostly from a couple years ago before I started working
AP national scholar, couple dean's list and president's list were my awards...

I think/hope my essay(s) were pretty good, as were my LORs. I just wanted to stress that I have a feel for pharmacy, love it and know what it'll take to reach that goal.

Good luck to everyone, I'll hopefully get a date for an interview tomorrow...there doesn't appear to be set dates, you have to call and set one up.
 
i'm tier 1, PCHK date 9/22/08, bay area... nothin' yet! eeeeek, just thinking about it makes me so nervous!!

does PCHK date for sure mean that my pre-reqs are a-ok?

hey, kaiser clerk. awesome. =] i work at kaiser too, but i'm a tech.
 
woohoo.. it's funny... i'm in fresno too ...

CONGRATS to everyone who have received interview invites! I'm totally envious.... hehehe. My pchk date is 9/11 and am from socal... wonder if I'll get it in the mail today. Fingers crossed!

Hey guys! Is it a big envelope? small envelope?

She said they're all on Fridays at 12:30. The 17th was the earliest. The only other date she mentioned was the Friday after, so I just went with the first.
 
Yay, got mine in the mail today, and Oct 17 interview too. So two days in a row lol!
 
After a lot of blood, sweat and tears (I'm kidding of course, haha), I finally got all my application issues ironed out with UOP. At first they claimed they didn't receive my supplemental fee (which I included with my supplemental application package), but later called me back (sometime last week) saying they found it. After a few back and forth emails, I've found that I did indeed make the Tier 2 deadline, so things are looking up 🙂

Any idea what the window is for when they'd send out interview/invitation dates for Tier 2 applicants?
 
yay i got my letter today in the mail! good luck everyone! 🙂
