I received a phone call....They told me they were sending the letters out on wednesday!!I was also in the December interview panel.
Io haven't heard anything yet.
By the way how did they notified you about acceptance? email or phone 1st?
Accepted! but I am declining. Good luck to whoever gets my seat.
Just got an e-mail saying I was accepted to UIW!!!! It said official letter and supporting documents will be mailed soon!
Now to decide between UIW and Kingsville...decisions, decisions
Good luck everyone!

is there a facebook group for UIW Class of 2016 yet?
I'm really hoping I get accepted here...
Keeping my hopes high and takin it one day at a time!
By the way, I interviewed on 2/25
I am getting more and more anxious and nervous.. T_T
AHHH!!!! I hope the prayer is heard!
I got wait-listed. I got the letter in my mailbox, no email. I interviewed 2/25. Huge bummer. :'(
I am in need of some financial input lol!!
How are you guys feeling about paying twice as much for UIW? I love UIW and I'm from SA, so staying here would be super convenient, but I am really struggling with the cost of tuition vs. the other school I was accepted to (Kingsville).
Would appreciate some other points of view and perspective!

Do not feel bad about being waitlisted at all. We have plenty of pepole in our class that were on the waitlist. Just make sure that you keep in close contact with the counselors so they know exactly who you are. This way when they start pulling from the waitlist (which they will), they will be able to put your name with a face. People get pulled off the waitlist the entire summer. Right up until orientation. Just make sure you have your $500 ready to go. Good luck
The cost of FSOP has given me pause as well, in fact I wouldn't have even applied if my situation were different. If I stay in San Antonio, I do not need to pay rent, if I go elsewhere I'd be dumping money into an apartment. If you need to pay rent whether you stay in San Antonio or not, this may not be such an issue for you.
Are the any other financial benefits to staying in San Antonio? For me I have a ridiculously flexible job that pays well, which I'd give up if I leave. In my case I would leave FSOP with less debt than Texas Tech (my 2nd choice). Overall cost was my primary concern for determining my first choice, it's good you are considering it.
Anyway, congratulations! This is truly my unbiased opinion, hope it helps!
Well, I have to pay rent and all the bills regardless, and a move to Kingsville would be expensive...
I also have a pretty flexible position in my pharmacy and absolutely have to have medical insurance so I'm worried about transferring (but it's possible)...
AGGHHH...money money money! LOL
I'm wait listed as well, dang!!!
Any idea how many people they wait list?
Also, when you say keep in contact with the counselors, do you mean in person? So they can put a face to name? I certainly don't want to bug them. I thought the wait listed were also ranked and already in a line...?
Thanks!
Any experienced pharm students have advice or tips for the first block of classes? I know we begin with biochem! A class I didn't take as an undergrad!
Hey I'm at FSOP right now. The first block is really tough, but doable. My advice is to not fall behind because it is almost impossible to catch up. As far as biochem, I'm pretty sure a lot of people struggled. You really have to read the book for that class. Make sure you know your organic functional groups and your amino acids. It would help if you knew those coming in. I also did not take biochem in undergrad so I had to focus on that class a lot. The good thing is that the first block is only 5 weeks. After that 5 weeks, you are done with biochem. Just remember that you can do it. My next piece of advice is to use some sort or a daily planner. It will help you stay organized with assignments and due dates as well as the groups you are placed into. Most people leave their planner on the desk the whole day. lol. It really does help. The good thing about our blocks is that you only really have 2 hard classes at once. So first block I think your classes are biochem and pharmacy calculations. You will also have pharmacy communications and I belive another class. But those classes are not hard at all. You can definitely do it. Good luck. Remember that you have an entire class to help you. And you can always find a P2 or P3 to help.

I spoke to one of the counselor's and they said we should for sure be hearing from them the first of April. Their might be several calls since I've been hearing about several declines to go elsewhere. Keep your hopes up my friends!!
I got accepted for the Fall 2012. Can anyone tell me how the book you study for P1 like? Are the books available as ebook? Or are they all heavy books that you have to carry around all day? And what is the class schedule for P1? Are the classes start at 8AM everyday? If you miss the class, is there a recorded lecture that you can listen to? Thanks
