VCU/MCV Application Thread

[pharmlove88]

Well let's hope you're accepted!
I don't think there was a single person last year who was deferred after 10/22 (for ED). I think they are polite and will defer you if you need to be...esp. if you interviewed in the first group. The only thing they might delay in is the letter.

yea i think they defer people as soon as possible so it allows them to have back-up schools and stuff.
i guess staying as 'yes' status for a long time is good thing then.
i shall be patient and wait haha I just didn't wanna take my pcat this saturday but looks like i gotta just in case!

Yeah it sucks you have to take it when 1 week from now you could be accepted and then they won't even see the new scores ... but just part of playing this whole game I guess. At any rate, good luck w/it! Hopefully it'll be the last time you have to take it.

has anyone who interviewed on the 25th of September heard anything yet?

 

[Highfavor]

Oh my goodness. I cannot take this wait!!! My pcat scores havent been posted on Pharmcas yet. Should I be worried? I tried calling the pcat folks today, but its closed. I hope this doesnt hold up my decision. I'm so nervous!!

Hey girl! Remember me from the interview?? Your parking lot buddy?? I was wondering what happened to you all this time, lol. Yeah I think you should have had them posted on Pharmcas by now if you took it in August. Mine were posted on 9/24 and mailed out on 10/4...why are they closed, they should be open? Try again or just wait till Monday, and don't worry, according to our discussions on here, VCU won't even mail anything out until after the last ED group interviews tomorrow...I'm waiting right along with you!

And poe: everyone that has been talking over the past 2 pages of this discussion has been in the 9/25 group. and no we haven't heard anything..

Hey girl,

Of course I remember you, lol. I'm still here and I'm waiting like crazy. I have a friend who graduated last year and she told me she heard back immediately after her interview. She did ED too! Keep me posted! I'm walking around all stressed, lol.

Hey you guys, remember this??








They just opened it this past Tuesday, the "grand reopening of the pharmacy school" after renovations. So we totally got to see it first, even before the other students did, lol


Anyway I found that on the side while trying to find a calendar for MCV pharmacy students. Does anyone have an idea if it's posted online?

Actually nvm haha I found one on one the class sites, sorry

Lol. Speaking of good news and last minute surprises…………….…. I just saved a bunch of money by switching my insurance to Geico!! Lol, Lmbo. I couldn't resist.  I hope we all get accepted too! God willing(I do hope He's willing, lol). I would be disappointed, but even if it doesn't happen now, A DELAY is not a denial!! Just ask the Chilean miners!!

 

[pharmlove88]

To be honest, it may not be delivered or even postmarked...Last year they didn't get their letters till 11/13 :0
But we'll hopefully at least know if we're deferred which is what we all really want to know anyway~

o reele??? darn.. hopefully we don't have to go through that lol
waiting like almost 6~7 weeks or so for ED results.. not fun!

I wonder how many they accept.. my parents were like they accept like 20% but i thought it was 50% lol

Lol my parents are the same way. "Wow I can't believe your pcat scores were that good, I thought you were pretty dumb" <--- my parents lol.
seriously though

But actually it is 50% over the entire admissions cycle...but I'd say for ED probably more like 75% at least...

I agree the waiting sucks, some regular decision people got answers within like a week!

I completely agree. The waiting sucks, I feel like I am so distracted and Its hard to focus on my school work anyway I hope that all the ED gets in. From what I heard, VCU increased their class size - from 120 something to 140. Its due to the fact that there is a new rotation site at C-ville. Hopefully, that will increase ED applicants chance to 80%

I was doing fine with the wait, but I was curious to know how other people feel after their interview, and after reading this thread like twice now, I'm starting to get nervous! lol? no!

and 80%?

 

[xprettygirl11]

Congrats to all of you!

I'm not ED, but I applied regular admission to VCU. I received an interview invite around the end of September, and the lady told me to expect an email with the supplemental and everything else I would need to complete before the interview. My date is October 30th, and I still haven't received anything from VCU. Should I call back or just wait?

 

[VaTravisVol]

they will snail mail the letter, expect it soon to be sent to your current address. they say email, but do reg mail..

umm ours were sent like 2,3 weeks before our interview date BUT we got another revised supplemental version on the Monday of our interview date.
So, just wait another week or so.. the app itself takes like 10 minutes soo don't worry

I'm definitely there with you pharmlove. I had two exams and did not even know how I made it through them. We should keep in mind though that this sem. is still as important but I just want to hear back from them ASAP so we can all move on and do what we have to...Best of luck with all of us

 

[lazysnake25]

I applied for regular admission, but I haven't received anything from VCU regarding an interview invite. I saw in this thread that there was someone who was regular admission and already has an interview set up for October 30. Are there any non-ED applicants who received interview invites? I'm so worried that I haven't heard anything from VCU yet

don't worry!
it probably all depends on when ur application was sent
if u want u can call them to check on ur status but i wouldn't worry much if i were u.
they are probably trying to cram all the ED stuff out.. since technically it is due by this Friday for us to get decisions.. but looks like they are a bit behind schedule

 

[PharmPrncss]

Hey guys, I also had my interview on Sept 25. Haven't heard anything just yet. I called AGAIN lol today and they told me that they havent met yet. She said hopefully they'll Friday

Sigh!! This wait is killing me!! Hopefully everyone who interviewed on Sept 25th gets in and good luck to everyone else as well!!!

ugh....... i was hoping to find out by this Saturday.. i guess that ain't happening.

 

[PharmPrncss]

She said hopefully this Friday meaning thats not a guarantee either.

 

[pharmking]

:/

 

[Cloud 9]

So theres no real way to know if the status was updated or not on Friday anyway. Well I give up then, I'll just wait for the letter.

 

[pharmd2b2015]

this is so frustratingggg....the wait is ridiculous...my friend who applied to the med school and had his interview MAYBE two weeks ago has already heard back and been accepted....why can't the pharmacy school catch up!!

I just hope all of us who interviewed on the 25th aren't at a disadvantage since the interviewees in october will be fresh on their minds....

Hopefully the letter comes in the next 2 weeks!

Totally agree. I just hope we get in cause time is ticking and if we don't get in we have to start applying to other places. I hope none of us get rejected!

I know, especially since many schools have a deadline of November 1st, so they're cutting it VERY close. At this point, no news is good news, hopefully!

effin messed up. pretty sure we're the only ED people who haven't heard back yet. UMB (univ of maryland) got their results back today. bummer for us.

 

[pharmlove88]

sighhhhhhhhh...

and the wait continues.....

 

[PharmPrncss]

I know!!! I wonder how many people interviewed for ED? Seriously can someone call lol and see whats going on?!!!

i tried.. went straight to voicemail for like the past couple hours.
i guess a lot of ED applicants are calling them or something.. soo they decided to shut the phone lines off?

 

[PharmPrncss]

Or maybeeee they're finally deciding?! Hopefully.

 

[Highfavor]

Or maybeeee they're finally deciding?! Hopefully.

Have they ever emailed applicants or called them to let them know they were accepted?

 

[pharmd2b2015]

Or maybeeee they're finally deciding?! Hopefully.

haha i like your optimism...i'm going to agree with you for the sake of my sanity...we better find out soon!! i hope the people they defer at least get an email or something so that they can apply to other schools...but i also just hope we all get in! haha

 

[Cloud 9]

Ha ha I went home today and found I got a letter from Howard University SoP asking me to apply. I have no idea how though since I checked 'no' on the pcat for advertisements.

VCU better claim this before someone else does...lol...just kidding

You should be happy. An early interview is usually a good thing. Mine was on Oct.9th. I don't know exactly how many interviews there were total, maybe 3? So maybe they're wrapping things up now.

LMBO. I think we all have a great chance of being accepted. So, hopefully they'll let us know something today or tomorrow.

 

[PharmPrncss]

Ya! I hope we all do get in!! I hope we hear back today!

 

[VaTravisVol]

a friend called pharmcas they said that vcu will have to let them know by end of the 22nd and they will probably post status on 23rd. They said that your pharmacy designations will say REGULAR ADMISSION status instead of EARLY DECISION if you got deferred... the day approaches...
