UOP 2009 application process

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone know what is the percentage of applicants Pacific accepts from the first interview date vs the second?
 
Anyone one else 10/17? I wonder how many interviews are done a day.

is it an advantage to interview on the earlier dates? i called to set up my interview day/time today and had the option of oct 24 or nov 14. i chose nov 14 just so i could have more time to prepare. do you guys know if they accept more people at interview #1 versus #2, #3 and so on. Or do they accept about the same # of applicants?
 
Per admissions office, they will start reviewing Tier 2 applicants next week. Expect an interview letter around late October.

Anybody know how they organize PCHK dates with each Tier's applicants? I had a file completion date of 6/29/08 but I seem to be one of the last PCHK dates (9/24/08) in Tier 1 . Could it be last name alphabetical?
 
Can anyone explain the difference between PCHK and file complete date? My file says it was complete on 8/15, but the PCHK date is still blank. Should I contact UOP?

File completion date is when you had ALL your materials postmarked to UOP (Primary, supp, etc..)

PCHK is when the admissions office checks off your pre-requisites for pharmacy school. You receive a letter soon after this date letting you know if you are missing any classes. This date is empty for you because they haven't started reviewing Tier 2 applicants yet. Keep looking at the UOP application checker during the next few weeks to see your PCHK date.
 
did anyone get a interview invite with a PCHK 9/22?
 
INTERVIEW! 😀

How are interviews at UOP formatted? Are they group interviews? will it take up the whole day?

For those you who will ask...😛
PharmCAS 8/1, Supplemental 8/1, File Complete 8/1 (Tier 1), PCHK 9/23

I'm calling tomorrow morning to schedule an interview!
 
Congratulations to all who were invited for an interview!

Does any tier 2 applicant show a date next to PCHK? Still none for me.
 
bubbliejenjen are you from norcal or socal? 🙂 congratz!

yeah, i have no idea! =T that's really unfortunate, if the PCHK dates are random... cuz i felt that way with mine too, my pchk was 9/22 and my app complete date was 8/1, but it may because they had some problems with the renaming of a college, i had to call and clarify? not sure. i don't think it should be alphabetical though...

still no letter!! but if the pchk dates are a bit random, perhaps so are the interview invites.

same boat, pchk 9/22, got a teaser letter about my pre-reqs being completed...sigh
 
congrats to all of you who got an interview!

i am curious on your backgrounds, such as overall and pre-req GPA, volunteer, community service, leadership, pharmacy related experiences, what your personal statement was about, and why UOP supplemental essay.

Please share as much as you can. And also, how are you preparing for your upcoming interviews?

I'm planning to go in the morning after physics, which starts 7:30am. 🙁 I'll also be skipping classes in the afternoon, but they are podcasted so i'm good. Maybe i'll see you there! 🙂

Congrats to all who have interviews! I'm still waiting... PHCK 9/22...Anyone who had a PHCK with this date get a letter yet? The wait is a killer!
 
Does anyone know if they notify you if you get pushed into tier 2?

Tell me about it! I have a PCHK date of 9/24 and am getting more anxious with every passing day. Hopefully something will come Saturday so I don't have to wait a whole weekend for news.

There seems to be a trend with those that have a PCHK of 9/22.....no interview invite YET.

I also have a PCHK of 9/22....staying optimistic.

i am in tier 2 and i have a PCHK date of 9/30. what is the PINT about?

to those of you who have gotten interviews, what were your stats? i'm getting really nervous...🙁

it also seems like those who got interviews reside within california... did anyone get interviews and doesn't live in cali?
 
Anyone get accepted to UOP?? It much easier to get into Nevada than UOP don't u think? I'm waiting for the rejection letter from this school😡
 
Don't give up hope yet kids, I received an invite on Friday dated Sept 30th.. they're still at it! My PCHK was 9/2 so I had given up but there is hope still!
 
I was 1st tier with a PCHK of 7/31 and no word about interview yet. I dunno anymore... I'm a Pacific student (non pre-pharmacy) so maybe they don't want any more Pacific students? :'(
 
Hey liltigress03 , i live in the OC as well, just wondering what your PCHK date is, as well as your file completion date. Im extremely nervous, havent gotten anythin yet.

Pacific students have priority, even non-pre-pharmers.. don't worry.
 
Does anyone know if the Oct 24th date has filled up yet?
 
^ I called Friday morning (10/3)to schedule the 24th. Assuming I or someone later in the day didn't take the last spot, it should still be open.

They give a 2 hour tour in the morning. Then you will be split up into I think two groups. One does the writing sample, which is easy peasy. The other is the interview, which isn't so bad as long as you have had enough practice. Overall, it should take the majority of the day. I'm guessing 5 hours.

Interview are with 2 people individually. One with a 2nd year student and the other with a faculty staff. They ask typical questions like why you want to be a pharmacists and this and that. Then they throw one or two curve ballers. These are the most important questions as the others are just fillers for 15 min. There's a site here on SDN where people posted past questions. I forgot where the link is.

Thanks aznkukuboi!
 
Anyone, please help as I am very anxious/nervous.

File Completion Date: 7/31
Supp App Received: 7/31
PCHEK: 9/19

I still have NOT received anything in the mail. I was tier 1 for their application, but it seems everyone in tier 1 who were supposed to get an interview has already received their invite. Am I assuming rejection to early? Or is their still a chance. (especially since I have not received anything yet)

I'm sure they are still reviewing tier 1 applicants. You still have many chances because they review your application along with tier 2 and tier 3 applicants again. it'll come soon!
 
Hi everyone,
If i wanted to book a flight to UOP, do I land at Sacramento Inter. Airport and then drive to the school (1 hour)?

Thank you 🙂
