Does anyone know if there is a big gap between interview dates for UOP?

I called today to set up my interview time, and was told Nov 11th was the next date. Unfortunately, I can't make it because I'm flying down to LA for USC's interview. So, I asked for the next date and was given Jan 13th. That's a two-month gap!

I'm wondering if it's fully-scheduled between Nov 11th and Jan 13th, or if UOP just taking a big break.

Is there someone out there with an interview date between Nov 11th and Jan 13th?

Most likely it's a big gap since we have finals right after Thanksgiving and that means...no one on Campus for interviews.
 
yeh i was wondering that too, but not really worried about it. i was told the same thing and will be there jan 13 cuz i can't make nov11
 
Thanks for clearing it up!

Hey, jky007, did you get a confirmation email from UOP yet? When are we supposed to get that?

There is a big Gap for interviews. Nov. 11th is the last date for November. Jan 13, 20, 27. Then for Feb...Feb 3 and 10.
 
anyone know when theyre going to send out more interview invites? or how to tell on their website if youre getting one?

Thanks for checking, doubleup144!!!
 
sorry to double post this agian...but does anyone know when theyre sending out invites for the rest of the interviews or when they flat out tell you youve been rejected?

Expect invites to be sent 2-3 weeks before these interview dates.
 
How long does it take to hear back from UOP after the interview?

Hey doubleup144,

I interviewed on 10/21 and they told us we would receive the acceptance/denial letters "by Christmas". Do you know when exactly the ad com will sit down and make their decisions? Thanks for all the info!

When I interviewed two years ago, Veronica told us acceptance/denial letters would be sent out approximately 3 weeks after interviews. She was pretty much right since my letter came about 3 weeks after I had my interview. It all depends on when the adcom meets and decides who to accept and who deny. I don't know when the adcom will be meeting up again.

Hey Pete,

I asked because I was contemplating on sending in an updated resume. I turned in my application late July. Between then and now, I have participated in several extracurricular activities that I would like the admissions committee to consider when evaluating my application. It would be pointless to send if the ad com already had their meeting but since I'm not sure, maybe I'll just send one anyway.

I wouldn't bother with sending an updated resume. If you send one, then it has to be processed (your file has to be found, it has to be updated, etc). More than likely, the adcom would not look at the resume (I'm assuming) since you've already had the interview. If you've gone to the interview, there must have been something they liked. The interview is pretty much the last step to seperate you from the rest of the applicants.

The interview would have been the best oppurtunity to talk about your updated resume. Though your application had been submitted, including resume, the interview would have been a perfect place to discuss what you've done since you've submitted your application.
 
sorry i didn't reply until now, but I have gotten a confirmation letter yet.. didn't really expect one either.. not til jan. so not too worried about it

I was trying my best to "sell" myself but the interviewers seemed to have their own agenda (filling those green and white forms). 😉

I think I'm just overanalyzing things. All this waiting is making me crazy. :laugh:

I just received a letter yesterday. My application was officially completed on September 6th. I have been checking the website non-stop and it did not give me an indication that an interview invitation had been sent. I hope to get an early date for an interview!
 
anyone know what it means when the PCHK office use only thing has a date next to it? for the longest time mine didnt have anything, but when i checked online..it had a date next to it.
 
I think they put a date next to it after they have sent you the letter that says your application file was completed on time and is ready for preliminary review. My letter was posted on October 5 and the date next to PCHK is dated October 5.

i wanna think that..but i got my letter saying my application was complete a couple weeks ago.

btw...have you gotten anything from uop for either an interview or saying you weren't accepted yet?
 
I went to vegas over the weekend and when I came home...sitting on the counter waiting for me is a letter from UOP. I got invited for an interview!!!! I'm so excited!!! Anyone else hear from UOP?

Hi care 324,

Congratulation on your interview. When did you turn in the PHARMCAS and supplemental for UOP? When did they let you know "your file is being processed"? Gosh, I felt so bad now since I haven't heard from ANY school yet. Thanks.

congrats on the interview. adding on to what janbran said, do you know when on the uop website where you check to see your status when they dated the PCHK office as receiving something?
 
thanks for the congrats!!! I mailed my supplementary application on the last week of September and by that time...I don't think PharmCAS has mailed my application yet. I recieved a letter stating that my application is complete sometime around the first week of October. As for the PCHK date...I'm not sure what that means, but mine is dated on October 20th. My letter of invitation is dated on November 15th. Don't worry Janbran...I heard that there is a good amount of interview slots still available. It's just a matter of waiting....good luck!

Thank care324 for the info. Well, I sent my supp on 10/11, and submitted PHARMCAS on the same day. Well, let's hope I'll hear good news soon....
By the way, what is "PCHK" mean?

wow...i hope to get something from them soon. i turned in my stuff around the same time. what were your stats?

by 'pchk' i meant on the page you can check your status (www.uop.edu/admission/pharmd) it had a subcategory of pchk office. mine didnt get a date next to it till late last week.
 
My pharmcas cumulative GPA is 3.86. No PCAT...too lazy. Patient care and a little bit of pharmaceutical care experience..research..community service...leadership...hmm...i guess that's it ...As for the PCHK thing...i still do not have any idea what that means. Just keep checking your mail!
 
Does anyone know what 'PINT Office Use Only' means? I wonder if that has anything to do with interviews.

I think PCHK means preliminary check, but I have no idea what PINT means.
 
The next interview date for UOP is January 13th. I received my letter on November 12th. I guess I missed the last one for November... Maybe I'll see some of you guys there!

PINT = preliminary INTerview???

Just guessing, but my PINT date corresponds with the day I interviewed.
