I didn't contact Tamra. I didn't want to do so in case somebody had an objection. I can send her an email Monday morning if you want.

That's because Group A people are cool!
Oh yah....Group A 🙂
Hey everyone that got accepted to wayne state and congrats!!!!!! I just recived an interview and was wondering if anyone has advice for me and what the interview entails?? Thanksss
Congrats on the interview. It is very straightforward. There are 3 main parts:
1. Essay: 30 minutes, likely some sort of ethical question
2. Individual interview with 2 faculty members: 30 minutes, generally basic questions. Tell me about yourself, why Pharmacy, why Wayne State, etc...
3. Facility tour with P3 or P4 student.
You will also get a chance to meet with an academic advisor. This person will give you a one page summary assessment of your pre-reqs so you will leave the interview knowing exactly what courses Wayne State says you must complete to start the program. This is great. I did not get something like this during other interviews.
You will have alot of time to ask current students questions. A P4 also gave an overview of the curriculum.
Good Luck!!
hey blondy i got accepted at Wayne and the interview was so much more laid back and stress free than U of M. I'm sure you will get in and the best thing was that they send the acceptance email after only one week. Pretty good since Wayne is known for dragging things forever. Good Luck
Thanksss everyoneeee!! They received my app 9/27/10
o wow i guess i won't be hearing from them any time soon then. they received my ap. 12/14/10 :/

I am taking the PCAT in july and then applying to pharmacy school this summer 2011. I go to MSU and I went to a pre-pharm counselor today and she told me that I can't apply to Wayne State unless I have all my prerequisites done beforehand. The only prerequisite I still need to complete for Wayne would be one semester of physiology. I thought I would be able to take that in Fall 2011 until she told me this.
I am hoping that this information isn't true. Help please

It sounds like you are planning to apply this year to start the program in fall 2012. If this is the case, your plan is fine. WSU requires that science prereqs be completed by May of the year you start the program. Non-science prereqs need to be completed by August.

Thats exactly right... thanks so much for the quick reply hillwilliam.
Yes, good job hillwilliam! That rumor is also going around WSU. It would have taken forever to start the program if I had to have all of the pre-reqs completed prior to applying! I'm glad that it is in fact false. Best wishes PauliReiz!
Wow, that is surprising. Did they have to request a special exception to get that?
They told me that the gen ed requirements (like the computer literacy or culture courses) just need to be completed before you can start your P2 year.
Yes, Wayne State rolls their admissions. With each interview date that passes, more seats are filled.
unfortunately the jan 31st date filled up already :/ so i am signed up for the feb. 8th interview now. i guess my chances r slimmer now
Well, earlier is better, but don't worry. A P1 posted awhile back that they had 7 interview dates scheduled this year, so I would guess you are still pretty early in the process.

Good luck, zenta! I remember we communicated this summer and I know you want to go to WSU very badly 🙂 Be yourself and everything will go as it should.
Good Luck for your interview !! I hope it goes well
I'm so glad! You'll hear from the admissions committee via email when they make their decision 🙂 I was kind of expecting a phone call but an email certainly made my day. It came exactly one week to the day around noon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for those of you who interviewed today!
Hey Zenta,
What did you have to write for your essay part? My interview is next Wednesday. Thks🙂
Hi,
I don't think you have to worry about the writing. It's nothing like PCAT assay or those from other tests. Also, each row I believe we had 5 different questions.
When you got your acceptance email, did it say anything about the background check?
How long did it take the school to check your background? I hope I will hear back from WSU within one week. Waiting is just so hard now. I can't focus on my winter semester anymore.....🙁

I was accepted at Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia prior to being accepted at WSU. I received the background check email shortly after being accepted there. I believe it will come shortly after you are accepted at WSU. It's very simple....try not to stress over it. It took three business days for them to complete it and it was "free" or should I say included in the hefty price tag we paid to e-submit on PharmCAS 😀. Basically it asked for your SSN, DOB, name, any and all previous addresses you've had, etc.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Keep us all updated!

Hey, after your interview did you get any Thank you email for interviewing at wsu ? Thanks &
Congratulations on your acceptance !!
I did not. I got the congratulatory email one week after the interview....but nothing before or after that. I did receive an official letter of admission in the mail that also specified details regarding the $1,000.00 deposit to secure my spot in the program.
I was very nervous and I did forget to ask for thier contacts. So no , I didn't send anything to them, although I really wish I did. They were so nice to me. I really liked them a lot!

I am not very sure about that, but based on previous posts for this year and some years ago, I think it is true.
Hope it somehow helps you
The remaining interview dates are Jan. 31, Feb. 8, Feb. 17, and Feb. 24 with 2 sessions each of those days. There is definitely still time for Wayne to send you an interview invite!!
I had my interview yesterday. I think it went really well and there's no way I could have done better, IMO...but I thought it was odd that they really didn't ask me structured questions!
I walk in there and the first thing they say is, "So you want to be a pharmacist?" And I went on answering that and they sort of built off what I said and we had more of a discussion than a question-answer format.
They also didn't write anything down during my interview...😕 Should I be anxious about this or is that a good thing?! Anyone else have interviews like that??

I don't recall either interviewer taking notes during my interview and I was accepted back in December.
