craaaaaap..
Just out of curiosity, did those of you who were accepted send thank you notes/emails to your interviewers? I interviewed in Feb 27th and sent both emails and letters (fedexed tuesday) to my interviewers. Hope they don't think I'm trying too hard .
Still no word getting really antsy. Anyone else hear back today? I hope she'll be contacting us before the end of the week.
Me too!!! I'm so excited..... got a call from Lonnie @ 2 MST.
I'm officially nervous. I interviewed on Jan 23 but didn't receive a call from Lonnie. I hope I don't get rejected. I just got rejected from another three year school: UOP so it might become extremely unbearable if I get denied here.
Anyway, congratulations to all those who recieved a call. Your happiness was definitely somehoow tunneled thru me because I am so happy for your acceptance.
I am crossing my fingers that I get a call or at least get a high waitlist.
this was definitely a roller coaster expereince. Its 110 times worst than waiting for a final exam score and 1000 times more mentally draining and depression provoking than waiting to see if you got a B or an A in Biochemistry.
It's always best to apply as early as possible. There is a larger number of open seats available to you and you get responses from your schools sooner. But if you're concerned about the whole issue of having to put down deposits for multiple schools...well there isn't much you can do about that.So do people think it's best off to apply early? is their anyone who interviewed in the first two that hasn't heard either way? I am considering applying this year, but EARLY.
Thanks
Hey everyone! Just wanted to answer some of the questions that I have seen. This year I applied to UoP, Pacific, and OSU. I was accepted into UoP and Pacific, and am waiting to hear back from OSU. I was at the 2nd interview date for Pacific and was on hold until March 4, when I got the acceptance phone call. Last year I applied to only Pacific and was waitlisted. I did not make it into the class. They notified me via only email about being waitlisted, and gave me a specific number on the list and updated me throughout the summer. I have had a nice year off and am happy to be accepted this year. For those of you whose first time this is applying, do not lose hope! Take a year off and volunteer at a pharmacy or take some extra classes! Chances are, if you got an interview the first time around, that you will have a good chance of scoring a spot the second time you come through, especially if you work on buffing up your resume! Anyways, hope that clarifies some things for everyone!
does anyone have information on when orientation begins?
Where did you do your undergraduate work? I applied to both Pacific and OSU this year. Offered acceptance to Pacific, but still waiting on OSU as well. Should know in about 2 weeks. If you don't mind me asking, if OSU also offered you admittance, which school would you attend, and why?
I believe on Pacific's website I found a calendar that said new student orientation was in late August, I think August 30th or something. But I'm not sure if that included the white coat ceremony and everything. Hopefully we get more information on that soon. You send in your deposit already?
I did my undergraduate work at Linfield College. I am also still waiting to hear from OSU. If I am accepted into OSU I will choose to go there. OSU has a more established pharmacy program. I also would be interested in the full year at OHSU (along with having OHSU on my degree). I would also prefer living in Corvallis as opposed to Hillsboro, and the OSU campus is very nice. If I am not accepted into OSU, I feel that Pacific will still be a great school to attend. Getting out a year early would be a plus! Not sure how I feel about the block curriculum just yet but in theory, it sounds like it should prepare us very well for the career of pharmacy.
How do you know when you will be hearing from OSU by the way? I have not heard anything from them since my interview, so I am curious if anyone else has heard any updates from them.
great, thanks. all i see is that the new student orientation begins aug 26th and classes, the 30th. i'm assuming that what i'm looking at is a general calendar that applies to both undegrad/grads. and i haven't yet sent in my deposit, though i should do that soon. yourself?
