Hey guys I thought I would start a thread for all the UOP 2017 applicants. Have you guys started working on applications? Also if you guys want to share stats for others that would be great too.
 
I tried accessing the University of Pacific supplemental application and could not find an active link on their site... even though they claimed the link would be available no later than July 15th. Am I missing anything?

Just updating.. the interview wasn't bad at all! Everyone including the interviewers tried to make the day as relaxing and low-stress as possible. My interview was closed-filed just so you know.

I will be receiving a BS degree in biology around spring 2017 and then start pharmacy school in the fall 2017.
 
What type of interview questions did they ask? I have an interview in the next couple weeks. Thanks in advance!

For me a lot of the time we just had a conversation on random things but they asked tell me about yourself, your strengths, weakness, leadership roles, etc. basic things nothing too crazy.
 
Im just hesitant to submit my supplementals for this school, because of the tuition.I already got in to a school with 45k/yr for four years, but I don't know if I should go for less price and for more years OR expensive and less yrs. Although UOP is 3yr school, their tuition is more than 60k/yr... kinda freaks me out.You guys should I worry about this?

I had my interview a few weeks ago and was accepted. Honestly it was a super chill interview. My interview with the student was very informal, it was like as if I was talking to a friend. Similarly, my interview with the faculty was very casual too... it was more like a conversation than being grilled with back to back questions.
 
did everyone here back in about a week after their interview?

What were your stats if you don't mind me asking?
Click to expand...

My science and cumulative gpa is around 3.4
4 letters of rec (3 from professors and 1 from pharmacist)
Experience volunteering in outpatient pharmacy and working as a pharmacy technician
Few other extracurricular activities during college
 
Has anyone confirmed their spots for fall 2017?!
 
I got accepted! However, I was also accepted into Touro in Vallejo, and I'm still trying to decide which one would be the best fit for me.

How do you feel about Touro? Anything really positive about it?

The two years of rotations is appealing and they offer a lot of leadership positions in their second year, which is good for students looking into residency. Smaller classes and their curriculum seems less rigorous, as they get more breaks from school. All the student I have met from Touro have been very competent and seem prepared for working in a Pharmacy setting.
 
I just got my interview email. Any advice? I am interviewing next week.

It was a really laid back interview and all of the faculty were very welcoming. Just practice the basic interview questions and be yourself.
