ur welcome, last time? no invite, just a rejection letter.
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!!! 😡
I can't help myself from laughing. XD We will prolly hear from them next week.
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!). 😛

What type of work do you do? I feel like a hermit sometimes...most people my age are still sophomore in college 👍
woow, u must be smart. I do some office work.
I immigrated from the Philippines. We are two years ahead I believe. I didn't skip any grades 🙁
heheh, still pretty good.
Haha it's nothing.
To other USC lurkers, feel free to share a glimpse of your life 👍
I didn't get anything ): after that. But I think they might start sending those out or invitation this or next week
Ah did you get a course eval. already after the letter of interest?
nope 🙁 I haven't received anything else since after that letter. Did you receive it this week?
I think last week...
Hopefully! Waiting is the worst....
Nope 😛 The faster they send in interview invites or rejection, the faster I can decide with my career choice/advancement.

Haha I think you'll be fine John!
It's most likely next week. haha.
Ah you thought of back ups? What are they?
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
Ohh what's that?
Yep! So most likely next week, calculating backwards from the interview data haha. Did you already graduate or are you still have a semester/quarter still?
Ahh not sure haha. Keeping themselves busy!
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.
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.
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
Congrats!!! Join the FB group! https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/uscpharm2017/
When did you get the acceptance letter?
I'm on AC from the January interview and haven't heard anything yet.. congrats to those who got in!
Accepted @ 11:22am PST today! I was from the February 23rd interview pool.
