Hey Guys! Did my interview already and today I got an email from Background check that says "...you have been conditionaly accepted to one of the school...make a consent..." has anyone got this email? am I expected to do the consent without getting official acceptance email form the school? Anyone? :)

Congrats on your acceptance! That was such a quick acceptance... Would you mind sharing how did the interview go? Are they switching over to the multiple mini interview format for this year?

Hey!
Here is my stats
Overall GPA -3.5
80% PCAT(but it doesn't matter lol cuz its not required)
3+ years of pharmacy experience
A lot of hospital/retail pharmacy volunteer positions
4 strong recommendation letters
So the interview process involves intro part where they talk about the school and the learning style,then some group game that highlights how the school is based on "team" effort...well there is also a timed essay session.To be honest the actual interview is very short like 20min I would say.Finally you get to have mini talks with he faculity during lunch. Well if you already applied...with your states I am pretty sure they will send you interview invite! Good Luck, welcoming any questions you might have!!!

I was at the 10/07 interview. I'm trying to hold it out for a bit longer since I want to hear back from Pacific Oregon and another interview at WSU this Friday.. Lol.

Tuition for this school is ridiculously expensive.

i got accepted into this class a few days after interviewing. I was actually very surprised at how fast they considered me considering my unimpressive stats...

My student profile:
Overall GPA: 2.63
PCAT: 80th percentile
half a year of volunteering in a community pharmacy
half a year of part time work as a doctor's assistant
four letters of recommendation, all from professionals or professors

still, i'm just worried about the cost of attendance and the worrying outlook for Pharmacist jobs in the future... something like 20%+ unemployment by 2020...

If you think it's too good to be true that you got accepted so quickly then you're absolutely right.

The outlook is bad bc schools like Northstate accept garbage applicants with 2.63 gpas
