Thank for opening a threat for Chicago State College of pharmacy. I submitted my application on pharmcas on Oct 4 2014. Still waiting for pharmacas to calculate my GPA. have not submitted my supplemental yet? When did you apply? did you submit your supplemental?
 
Just got an interview for Dec 19. Please can someone help me with the interview questions? Thank you.
So far, i have not seen people on this threat? Why? Come and join us if you are applying to Chicago State University.

I interviewed the first day of interviews, December 1st. The overall process was unorganized. The interview was "closed file" so they had no idea who you are, but asked irrelevant questions instead of questions to get to know you. Be able to lie about pointless "life experience" , stories which they think are imperative, and you'll do fine.
 
Im gettin an interview in 2 days any insight is helpful
 
I had my interview on dec 1st and it was fine. the staff were very friendly and helpful. They explained every step of the process and answered many questions. As for the interview, just be your self and also be professional. I received my acceptance E-mail yesterday, so it was not very long. good luck to everyone!!
 
I got interview there on December 15 and i was put in a waiting list. I thought i did well on the interview, but I don't understand why got on waiting list. I have a gpa of 3.8 and a pcat of 57 on my composite. I have finish all the requirement. Anyway, I got interview for UIC in jan 13 2015.
Those who got accepted would you like to share your stats such GPA, PCat, INstate or Outsate, Volunteer.
I have another question Did you know someone who get accepted in Both Chicago State and UIC?

How many questions did they ask you? Was there a writing part too?
 
Hi all! I was accepted to one college and have interview invites at 4 other Pharmacy colleges.. I interviewed at 2 colleges just waiting on their decision. I applied to Chicago State 2 months ago but just submitted my supplemental one week ago hoping to get an interview there soon because Chicago State is just awesome for being accredited & the cheapest out of all the schools I applied to. Could someone please tell me the interview questions?

Thanks,
 
Just received an interview invite for February 27! So excited. Anyone have any tips or information on the interviews for here?

Depends on how close you would like to be/if you have a car to commute. I live in the south suburbs. Plan on remaining here. I wouldn't live in the most of the area surrounding the school, theres a few quiet blocks just south of the school between 99th & 103rd and sandwiched between MLK and cottage grove. Outside of that little area tho I can't recommend. I stayed on campus my first undergrad semester & it was fine no problems walking on campus at night or to/from my car. They do have state police on campus too so that helps. And all parking being paid cuts down on unnecessary traffic thru the grounds. If u can live a little further away tho evergreen park is a great area, it's west of the school, about a 15 minute drive. Any other questions I'd be happy to help as much as possible :) do you mind giving your stats? cGPA, sGPA, pcat score? Also when was your interview and how soon after did you get notified of acceptance? Thanks!

Well the interview is very relax, they are super nice ... very generic questions! Why pharmacy? What would you solve stressful situations.. no worries just be yourself.
My stats are: science 3.5, general 3.3, pcat 78. My Interview was jan. 24 and i got my acceptance email on feb. 5.. so not too long!... i was wondering how is the on-campus housing? Im really worry about not finding a good place.. im coming from FL so i wont have a car. I think the best thing is to be on campus!

I lived in on campus housing more than 5 years ago so keep that in mind as u read my reply but their dorms are fairly new & huge compared to most other schools I've seen, they have doubles and singles, 2 doubles share a bathroom that adjoins the rooms. The doubles room had 2 beds, 2 desks, mini fridge with freezer and a microwave if I remember correctly. I never had problems with noise or anything like that & they have like conference/study rooms plus laundry facility on site. And thanks for the additional information.

I had 3 interviews already and the one on CSU was the best I had... loved the place and the staff!! good luck! ;-)
 
I just got accepted and will be attending in august. I will most likley be looking for an apartment in Hyde Park and am looking for roommates. Is anyone interested? This is a very good and safe neighborhood

When I interviewed at CSU some students told me not to even bother with the housing. Food is crap and for the money you are paying you can get a way better deal when looking for an apartment. I think the best route is to live off campus but very close. Some P1 students said they lived in Hyde Park. My sister lives there so I know it is a very good neighborhood. I would exhaust all other options before resorting to living on campus housing

I was looking at apartments in hyde park and I would say prices can range from 1300-2000 for 2-3 bedrooms. Ideally I would want to live with 2 other P1 students so that we can all help each other out. If you were my roomie.. dont worry about transportation because I already have a car. We are pretty much in all the same classes anyway so carpooling would not be a problem.

I have no idea about in-state because I am out of state but mine is around 35,000 and from what i was told at the interview after a semester if you show proof of residence in the state of Illinois ( so an electric bill or something like that) you get your tuition changes to in state
