what the... you have a interview at LIU!? did it come through email or mail?
"i'm going to the interview because it's not far from my house. there is nothing to lose except bus and subway fare."
How long does it take? does Bergen/Fort Lee have a lot of koreans? Im hoping for a interview at LIU...
nope, I was hoping for a interview too. I just want a response from them, reject or interview. Im a bit worried because I havent gotten a mail or email from them.
; that's why I only dated NJ girls lol... .
Well anywhere in nyc is good for me. But it seems like Boston will be the best choice for me right now.
I have my interview for New England at Feb 18th. And Boston at Feb 4th (I postponed from jan 14th)
But early decision is good, they are filling their seats on a rolling base. I alway imagined myself living in NJ in the future
Certain part of brooklyn is indeed a bad neighborhood. But the school I go to is 10 min away from LIU. The program at my college was made for pharmacy, we actually had a admissions officer walked in around 2009 and talked to us about pharmacy; I actually got to impress her. I figured she forgot my name by now since I didnt apply last semester (too busy taking physics 2)
LIU is near downtown brooklyn so it is a shopping district, and I could visit my old college; and hang with my friends from poly nyu sometimes. It's also near the brooklyn bridge, and 10 mins away from the city? It would actually take me 3 subway stops to get there from Manhattan (where I live)
All in all, my parents also want me to stay in nyc, and I worked with several of the pharmacist there. Most of them want me to go to LIU, but also stated that they didnt learn a lot there, that it would be better for me to go to out of states colleges. I do think I would grow more out of state, and I really want a setting outside of nyc; I stayed here 18 years of my life, why would I keep staying
But if I do have a chance here, I might take it. Other than that, it's Boston for me hopefully
Edit: the tuition is 30k a year, it's about the same everywhere...
.
Good luck
It's Massachusetts college of pharmacy-Boston. Is northeastern a new pharmacy school?
If I could I would pick St John or Touro. But Touro needs a bachelor's, and St john only accepts high schoolers. Actually most of the pharmacy students from st john are cool
Boston is accredited, has my hero there (who inspired me to pharmacy, who is maintaining a 4.0 gpa in pharmacy) I choose the Boston campus over the Worchester campus for that reason. I dont think I can survive the accelerated programs...
Edit: I think you should consider LIU too, commuting shouldnt be that bad; I know a lot of people that commute to nyc from nj. It just sucks that the subway prices are raising...
Thank you for the stats
when did you submit your application???
I first submitted my supplemental with a email address different from my PharmCas email so I never heard back (I think that's the reason since they never reply my email asking why even though it was sent a month ago)
since i assume that's the reason why nothing gets updated to my pharmcas, i submitted another supplemental the night before deadline with an email that matches my pharmcas. I hope it is not too late.
LIU is not my #1 but I do like how it is at Brooklyn
GOT MINES THROUGH THE SNAIL MAILDid more people get interview invites after 1/14?

E Submitted Pharmcas 11/17

Boston Interview Feb 4
Long Island University interview Feb 12
New England Interview Feb 18
Regis Interview March 4
Pending PCOM
So they receieved my application during Jan 03/04 after Pharmcas send out my transcripts. Which usually takes a week; but keep in mind that my application was submitted during christmas break, and most of the admissions were on break. Around Jan 06-09 I got interview invites.
Lol my bad. Well, I'm in the same boat. I'm currently attending c.w.post and almost everyone got an invite and I'm still waiting for one. Pcat average, with 3.556 gpa.
I agree, first they said it was mail, then someone here got it through email; they also told me to give them my official transcript not through pharmcas. People tell you different stuff; in their handbook it said that being a liu student does not increase your chance, only pre pharm does.
they also said having a bachelor's doesnt give you a advantage in the handbook...

Pay to play. I wish I had known that ahead of time.
I applied because it is (relatively) close by, and I thought with a class size of 200 I had a decent shot of getting in. Now I feel like I've waisted time and money on this school.
Hey pharmdnj, what do you think of the weather recently? your interview is tomorrow, with all this snow and ice, do you think your interview might be postpone? my interview for MCPHS Boston is on friday... Im hoping to take the bus tomorrow during chinese new year. (the service was delayed today)
try New England Maine! they just extended their deadline! and it's in the new england area. Im sure you'll get into pharmacy school year! good luck!
