Hello Steven and my fellow future classmates!

I just made my decision and I'm definitely going to attend Notre Dame - so stoked! I feel so lucky to be part of Notre Dame's first pharmacy class!

I'm also currently enrolled in school finishing up 4 more remaining pre-reqs (NJ) and I'm working full-time too (NYC)! I can't wait for pharm school to start!

I'm excited to meet all of you at orientation and coating ceremony! :)

Baltimore. Here. I. Come!
 
Hi everyone!!! My name is Tina and I'm so happy to meet my future classmates! I've already sent in my deposit and everything. I'm also finishing up the remaining 3 pre-reqs and working part-time. We will be the historical first class of a school with great prospect, I know it's definitely going to become a top school just because the faculty and staff are fab.

I'm really excited to meet you guys at orientation and white coat ceremony. Baltimore is great city to live in for professional school, it's friendly, peaceful, and entertaining. My car actually had a flat tire when I came there for the interview and the people are just wonderful at helping us get it fixed. I cannot wait to start!!

Proximity to NIH, Johns Hopkins and home in NJ. Superb faculty & great potential. And Baltimore's reputation for amazing crab cakes!

I'm leaning towards clinical research or health policy (perhaps both).

Orange!

What music are you into?
I'm really into indie music (ie. MGMT, TV on the radio, Postal Service etc.)

Worked any odd jobs to make some cash?
I worked as a lifeguard during HS. Once I had to perform the heimlich maneuver on a kid who was choking on a life-saver at a birthday pool party. (some life-saver, i know)


Do you have any unique talents or interesting facts about your self?
I'm really into oil painting and I'm obsessed with anything Picasso and Gustav Klimt.

I just interviewed at Temple the other day and I'm still waiting to hear back from rutgers. But i think it's highly unlikely that Rutgers is going to even consider me for an interview. heh we'll see.
 
Hello future classmates! I received my official acceptance letter yesterday! I will send in my deposit tomorrow. :) Do you guys know when classes are starting? I just know from the matriculation agreement that we have to send all official transcripts by August 1st. So I'm assuming classes will start anytime after that? Also, have you guys started applying for financial aid? I see someone has already asked for the fafsa code. heh..
 
Thanks, Steven, for the code :)

Yes, that is also my guess. By the way, I was asking for the fafsa code because I read somewhere that we need to apply before March for best consideration.

P.S. I took Philosophy, Sociology, and Asian American History. Do you guys think I still need to take Psychology in order to fulfill 6 credits of Psychology/Political/Social Science? Something is wrong with my e-mail.
 
I had my interview last week and I was told we are supposed to complete our FAFSA by Feb 15.

Anyway, How long did it take you guys to get your acceptance letter after the interview?? I hate waiting! :(

Took mine a month exactly I believe. The FAFSA card they sent me also said to file by 2/15

I thought fafsa is due March 2nd.... and I didn't get any fafsa card in the mail. Should I just apply online?

Mericycline, for people who interviewed in Nov. and Dec, it took a month or more for us to find out because we had to wait for them to get pre-candidate status in Jan. Now that they've already received it, I think they send out acceptances approximately 2 weeks after your interview. Oh, by the way, how many students were at your interview? I'm just curious.. cuz when I interviewed, there were only 7 of us.
 
There were about 12 people at our interview. We interviewed about three weeks ago.

I hear its Aug 24th
 
Thanks! Aug. 24th sounds good. I'm looking forward to moving to the East Coast, even though I'm going to miss good 'ol California weather.
 
There were 7 other people on the day I interviewed. I got a little worried cuz my friend got accepted after a week and I still have not heard anything back lol. It turns out I got accepted as well but i never got a letter in the mail. Instead I found an email in my spam....

I think your letter will arrive soon. I actually got the acceptance email before the actual mail also. The acceptance email came in the regular inbox for me. HOwever, after I sent in my deposit, i received a deposit receipt email in my spam... :cool:
 
I am happy for many of you who got accepted. I am yet to go to my interview on march 9th. any suggestion on some of the questions I should be aware of? I sure hope that there still a spot left for me;)
 
No worries, there is now a new definite spot because i just withdrew mine. Good luck to everyone and i wish the best for everyone who will be pioneering notre dame's first class of pharmacy.
