This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I thought I was done with USC. Submitted everything by August 8th. Absolutely no correspondences since then. Until I got that Interest Request form a few days ago. Raised my hopes up so much. Then still nothing. Not even the course evaluation yet. Quit toying with my heart!!! 😡

Me too! That's how I felt 🙁!
 
for those who interviewed in February, when do you expect to hear back from USC?

Probably in 5 weeks like January interview or even sooner.

/o/ Off topic: What are you guys doing while waiting? 😀

I already graduated c/o 2012 and completed all my pre-reqs last year. I'm just floating, travelling, learning the piano, napping, eating, working out(coz im so skinny), hardly working, stalking SDN, and playing video games (woooot!). 😛

Nope 😛 The faster they send in interview invites or rejection, the faster I can decide with my career choice/advancement.

I'm planning to do CLS this july/august. Cheap tuition sometimes even free. Only takes a year and in demand right now in California.

I think people receive invites on fridays, so yea you are right! Next week LOL :O @_@ I'll prolly lose my mind if I don't have anything else to do. 😛

I wonder how others deal with their sanity while waiting 🙂)

:X

I graduated may 2012! I've been working already :/ and it's not good haha.

CLS = Clinical Laboratory Scientist
I majored in Microbiology so I only have to do the 1 year clinical training to get license instead of doing a year of post-bacc then clinical training.
 
does USC calculate their own gpa? different than pharmcas? like repeats. does usc take the higher grade

They calculate their own pre-pharm GPA.
You should focus more on ECs, volunteering, shadowing, research, work and leadership experience.

Cool. 👍 How flexible are the hours on that? I wonder if it's something you could keep doing while in pharm school?

i was a d1 track athelete, i shadowed a hospital pharmacy manager/oncology pharmacists, volunteered at an inpatient pharmacy for a while, and have been working as a tech for 1 year.

It's pretty flexible. And the working conditions are similar if you have worked in inpatient pharmacy. I rather work as an intern though to get those hours and training 😛

You are over thinking this. Breath. Chill. Craft a well written personal statement. Get GREAT Letter of Recommendations. For sure you are guaranteed a spot somewhere.
 
So Facebook is wack and sometimes group requests get "lost." SO if you send a request to be added to the group and you are not added within a few hours, please private message me your email address and I will add you that way. Thanks.
Off the top of my head, if there is a Kenny Tran, Lory Lin, or Tahirah Farris in here, your requests were "lost" so private message me your email address.

Anyone heard anything who had an interview on Feb 23? Hoping to hear by the end of this week... Feels like it's been a year. As you can tell, I'm impatient.
 
2 more days to find out if I even have a chance to get in 😛

Good luck everyone from Feb interview! I wish you all the best! 😀

Did they tell February interviews that you should hear back from them in 2-3 weeks? That's what they told January interviews but it took a whole lot longer to hear back
