Western University of Health Science Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I messed up a little bit on the that question, so I had to tell them later that I'd like to clarify what I said about that question and I explained.. but they said don't worry about it, we're not looking for a right/wrong answer... so as long as you just kind of talked and explained a little.. it should be fine!

They said that they score us out of a 100, does anyone know what's accounted for in that score besides the interview and the essay? Do they go back and check our grades and everything? How much would each thing be worth?😕
 
I think I did so bad on my interview! I'm so sad :-/
 
When will we find out the results? Has anyone heard back yet?

They said within 2 weeks! Haven't heard anything yet. But soon and hopefully its good news. :xf: Good luck to you!
 
for those who already got accepted from the 1st batch of interviews, after you guys mailed in your deposit, did you receive any confirmation or follow up packages regarding sending in transcripts etc?

Nope, But I just had all my transcripts sent in anyways. Did you activate your email account? You should receive an email from the Registrar. 😀
 
ohhh How exciting! You might hear something back maybe by this week! 😀

For the first batch, it took roughly 8 WORKING days. GOod LuCk:luck:

It'll be 8 working days tomorrow!! Hopefully we hear something tomorrow :xf::xf::xf::xf: lol it's so hard to wait!! 😱:scared:🙁
 
I reapplied for this cycle and I haven't heard anything from them. I was waitlisted last year. I was wondering if anyone here are re-applicants and received interview invites for this cycle? I'm just concerned, thanks. 👍
 
Hi, I am also a reapplicant. I interviewed last year in January and was alternate. This year, i just interviewed on January 29th. I did not improve my application too much, adding only one new volunteer event (6 hours) and 40 hours of pharmacy experience.

yea, i activated my email account. so after sending in your transcripts did they tell you want classes you are missing?
 
Hi, i was just wondering for those who got accepted to western, what are your stats? I know that they score you out of 100 so i want to see where i kinda stand. I just want to know the usual, plus how you think you did on the interview. Thanks
 
I called western to check when they would let us know and they said they haven't made decisions yet and that it takes 2-3 weeks. I guess one more week of this agonizing wait!😱

Lol yeah.. I know EXACTLY how you feel!! I was getting super super anxious because it could have been like ANY minute since it would be 2 weeks on saturday. But I guess another WHOLE week before we get to find out.
 
hi guys 🙂

yes we are def in this together... i hope we all get in. i keep going back and forth between my emails and this site...

as soon as people start posting they are getting emails then im going to start like hyperventilating and completely freaking out lol

so you all interviewed on 01/29/11??

last night i read thru the posts from last year... for some it took 7 days others 2 weeks and one group like 3 weeks (i guess thats us now lol)

seems like if we get chosen as an alternate we still have a good chance of getting in if its anything like last year... so keep that in mind too 🙂
 
Nutenasni and Sweet02

Have you been accepted or interviewed anywhere else yet??

I have only been interviewed at Western so far and time is running out... *tick tock tick tock sound* lol

March is fast approaching. I got an email from PharmCas about some school in FLorida... lol i might consider it at this point.

I've only interviewed at Western and UOP. I was hoping to hear from both by this week! But haven't yet, so I guess I'll attend the Pacific in Oregon next Saturday and then USC the Saturday after that! But if I get into Western or UOP, I'll cancel Pacific next week and keep USC.

I've interviewed at USC, UCSD and I've got 3 more coming up. But Western's my first choice! If I get in, I cancel the others too and save a TON of money! Good luck to all of you. Hopefully we hear some good news soon! 🙂
 
Omg you guys are hilarious! I do the same thing, check my email every minute and check SDN forum 100 times a day. Hopefully we will hear good news.... I can't wait any longer!

Do u guys think it's possible to commute from LA to pomona?
I live in LA right now, and I may not be able to move to pomona...
do u think I could still go to WESTERN?
I heard their schedule is 8-3 everyday,,,

could anyone help me make a decision?

Thank you in advance~!

I don't see why not. It's definitely doable. Traffic after 3pm is going to be a pain though.

That's NOT a dumb question!
I'm planning to commute Myself! It only takes about half an hour or so. It's great cuz you're always going AGAINST traffic. In the morning When everybody is going WEST, you're going EAST, and then afterwards it's the opposite direction!
 
Big week! Goodluck everyone. The wait is over..finally! Well, almost lol
 
i was in the jan interview and just received an email with an acceptance letter 🙂
it's coming. good luck everyone.
 
Just got the acceptance e-mail today. Most probably gonna withdraw my seat though. Hope this opens up a seat for one of you. 👍 Good luck everyone!

Hey, I'm personally trying to decide between schools, particularly USC and Western. I was wondering why Western is your first choice, if you don't mind sharing. 🙂 No pressure though!
 
Haha it's only cuz western is a 15-20 min drive from me.

Did anyone get an interview invite for feb 26 yet?


I believe they are in the process of calling applicants this week. I know some people who have already received invites for February. They got the call yesterday. Good luck!

Do you know if they call all week or just one or two days, I really want to go there?

It's not a set few days. I got a call a week and a half after my friend did for the Jan date. So there's still definitely a chance you'll get a call.
