Accepted! Just got it in the mail today. I interviewed Feb 18th.
Nope, still has not changed yet. The letter was dated March 3rd.did your matriculation/agreement on the portal change?
hey micko, how many days/weeks after your interview did you get your acceptance letter? THANKS!
Do you mind posting your stats please?? Tell me about the interview... do you think it had/"not that much" helped you?
THANKS SO MUCH!! and CONGRATS!!
3.2 GPA; 80 PCAT
I worked in a hospital and labs for about 3 years in college and volunteered at a pharmacy after college.
I wasn't impressed with the interviewing process at Midwestern. It was really brief and impersonal. We had two interviewers and 6 students being interviewed. If I remember correctly, there were only 3 questions asked and they were all behavior style questions, but they were all pretty standard and everybody seemed to have fairly similar answers (i.e. Tell me about a time when you had to overcome a difficulty).
After the interview, I didn't feel like the interviewers got to know me at all and therefore wasn't sure what to expect in terms of an admission decision.
Quite honestly, I think it may have been your interview. Pharmacy experience has nothing to do with it, and your GPA and PCAT score is amazing. There are been plenty to people accepted without no pharmacy experience at CCP.Well I really hope, and would assume, that there alternate list is actually ranked. It would seem really stupid if it weren't, despite what they say. I got put on the alternate list. I'm guessing it's mostly due to the fact that I have no pharmacy experience, although I think that's a piss-poor reason to not give somebody a chance. I have a BS and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.82 gpa. I have a 84 composite for PCAT and plenty of extra-curriculars. Whatever, I guess I'll just have to wait until UIC accepts people, then if I don't get in there, I'll have a better shot I guess.
Noone will have time to get to know all of you. Interview is required for the admission. THey only have a brief moment to observe you since the have like thousand of students to be reviewed.
i realize that schools don't really have a chance to "get to know" the candidates... but some schools have interviews that are more personal than others
For me I preferred Midwestern's interview because of the reasons you mentioned. It was more business-like. The focus of the interview shouldn't be your personality, it should be your qualifications.

I actually thought my interview went pretty well. That's what's confusing about the situation.
where do you find out which immunizations you need?
I sent in my supp app like at the beginning of feb and still have no heard anything...i emailed them and they told me that they have recieved all things that they need and that they will let me know as soon as a decision is made....Im getting really nervous now! Anyone in the same spot?
Hi everyone,
Those of you who have already gotten in and have read the agreement, can you please explain the 3-day and 30 refund policy.
Thank You
so who got the email from midwestern today about their finances? well apparently NOW since the illinois government good away some grants away from the school, ALL incoming students will be paying the same amount regardless of residency (which is the out of state tuition im assuming). What is everyones opinion on this? I wouldnt say im angry about this, more annoyed. This sschool is expensive as it is and now even illinois residents are getting somewhat screwed over even if they go in an in state school. some thoughts?
Can you copy/paste the email?
It wouldn't make a difference for me since im a california resident, and would end up paying out of state tuition anyway. But i'm curious about this...
Dear Student:
Congratulations on your acceptance to Midwestern University for the coming year. We take our commitment to our students very seriously, and we appreciate the investment you are making in your professional education. In that spirit, I am writing to you today to inform you of an adjustment we have had to make to our tuition rates for the 2009-2010 academic year.
As you know, private education throughout the United States is not financed by state tax dollars. For many years, MWU received funding from the state of Illinois through the Health Services Education Grant Act (HSEGA), which we passed directly on to our in-state students in the form of lower tuition rates. Unfortunately, due to the financial situation in Illinois, this HSEGA grant program was eliminated in the state budget through a veto process. Despite extensive efforts by MWU and our current students, the legislature was not willing to overturn the governors veto and these funds have not been reinstated. Consequently, because the grant has been eliminated by the state of Illinois, we have been forced to charge all incoming students the same tuition rate regardless of their residency status.
Midwestern University strives to provide you with an outstanding education in a safe and secure environment. We sincerely appreciate your desire to attend our institution and look forward to welcoming you to our academic community.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Student Financial Services office with any questions or concerns at 630-515-6101. We are here to offer assistance or support in applying for any additional financial aid funding needed to attend Midwestern University.
Sincerely,
Nathan Ernst, M.Ed.
Director, Student Financial Services

Wait, so how much will the tuition be !
Hey,
I am a late applicant to Midwestern CCP. I submitted my application just few days before the deadline. Are there still hopes for getting interview invites?
My stats and essay is stronger..so I have my fingers crossed. But those who were already interviewed, do you guys know their figures about the seats filled, # of applicants, etc?

When did you guys receive this email? Did it go to your regular email account (the one you received your interview invite at) or your Midwestern email? I'm an Illinois resident and I didn't receive it. I guess this is to be expected, but it still really sucks
