i know this is a bit off topic but i was just wondering....
so I applied to UCSD and UCSF as well, so considering I haven't received a letter yet, does this mean my interview with those schools will be AFTER USC's on jan 26th, or is there a possibility one could be before?
I'm not sure how much notice they give you before, thanks for the help in advance!

they notified me by mail, the date on the letter is nov 29th and I just received it today...good luck!
Are you all Tier 2 or Tier 3?
congrats on your interview.
congrats on your interview.
I read somewhere saying that they will try not to have the interviews on the same date.
So it could well be before USC for these two schools

Congrats Jessica! You have 6 weeks to prepare for your interview. Be sure to check out the Interview section here on SDN. Think about how you would answer some of the questions. Do you best to stay positive and relax. Be yourself above all else. I'm not suggesting you be arrogant, but act as if you're already accepted in the interview.
Good luck!!
Good luck!!
Thanks for the advice! I'm hoping that things will go great....I am just really scared of UCSF's interview!! (if I get one!)
I heard they are group interviews, is this true 100% of the time? geez I would assume they are harder in regards to stress level but who knows maybe they are more relaxed?

does anyone know if these are the first interviews for USC? Or were there already interviews at an earlier date?
Just wondering...

thanks terse for the thread!
Does anyone know if UCSF hold group interviews still? On their website it says it is 2 on 1, but on sdn i have been reading it is group!
SPharmN: I'm sure that you didn't get yours yet because of the distance! Don't stress too much 🙂

I got an interview for the 26th at 10:25!! I can't believe I didn't check my mail until now... it has just been sitting in the mailbox all day long!
I'll be coming up from San Diego, and am thinking I will come up on Friday night, too.
congratulations jessica/nerv... hopefully I will see you there 🙂

Just curious, when did you receive your lack letter, in comparison to your interview invitation?
I never received a LACK letter...in fact, I don't really even know what it is! 😎

Ah, did you complete all of the pre-requisites? I'm assuming you did everything if you never received that lack letter I speak of.
I received my bachelors in june of 07 so yes everything was completed by the time I sent in my application. I have had some time off school to work and save money and spend time with my family and just HAVE FUN before starting pharm school 🙂
...plus i would not have been able to keep a 3.7 during this stressful application & interview process
haha
haha
wow yeah I don't see how you do it with all the stress...im mean, its do-able but just not something I would prefer to put myself through!
good job!
good job!
Is the lack letter the email that they send about the status of your courses?? I received that on 11/28, then the interview letter came on 12/1
wow, only 3 days apart!

i have the almost same stats as jessica, yet no interview yet 
where are you from? maybe it's because of the distance if you live further from the school than me! don't get discouraged yet 🙂
