I'm also curious about TSU's interviews. I wasn't early decision, but I did turn in my applications early in the month and haven't heard anything. I noticed that they're relatively slow when it comes to answering emails, so not sure if they're super busy with looking at the applications right now or something else.

Have you received an invite yet?

I haven't but the site already has the different interview dates already posted so I'm hoping I get one in October at least.

@TheFactionless : the invitation letter usually given out a week before the interview date. Watch for their interview date listed on their website. Good luck to you!!!
 
When I filled out the ApplyTexas application, I had to pay $42 already, but now it says that I still need to pay $42 for an undergrad fee. Do I have to pay it? Also in the supplemental application, did you guys scan and submit all your transcripts or did you just not submit anything since its all on pharmcas? Thanks
 
Hi all,
I'm planning to apply this cycle for Pharmacy at TSU. Do anyone know if TSU accepts Music Appreciation MUSI 1306 as a Pre-req for Visual and Performing Arts? I tried calling the office but have not gotten any response. Thank you

Hi, for the supplemental application I attached my transcripts, pcat scores, and my 2x2 photo.

I took Introduction to Music and they accepted it.

It's because all the classes are filled up except that class. i'll probably take it during the winter session if it is not acceptable. Hopefully, she will reply to me ASAP so i can take the class and submit my apps.

They were supposed to have had an interview yesterday. Can anyone confirm if they're on schedule?

My pharmcas application was verified on 9/13 and I submitted my supplemental application on 9/14.

Ms. Davis barely emailed me just this past Thursday letting me know which pre-requisite classes I was missing. I feel like they're going really slow right now, and that maybe they didn't get a chance to have interviews yesterday.
 
I'm thinking the same because I had everything verifier and submitted before the first interview. I got that email before the first interview as well.

You don't have to pay that 42 bucks if you already paid it during the ApplyTexas application. Make sure you have record of the payment. I would call the office of admissions to ensure they have record of your payment as well.

Do you have to do the apply Texas before they offer an invite? That's the only thing I haven't done.

No. Don't do the applyTexas until after they send you the acceptance email. You have until March 2017 I believe to complete it. I got my acceptance email last January and I completed the ApplyTexas in February.
 
I am about to send in my application for TSU, and I am excited about potentially going there for pharmacy school. I am not as familiar with TSU, so I was wondering if anybody could give me an idea of what my chances are of getting in?

I graduated with a BS in Biology.
My cumulative GPA is a 3.0, and my pre-req GPA is right around there as well
My PCAT composite is an 80
I have worked a little over 500 hours as a pharmacy technician
I have a little over 100 hours of community service

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Know Why you picked TSU.
Know why you picked pharmacy as opposed to other health professions.
Know what your goals are in pharmacy.
Know what leadership qualities you have and what it takes to be a good leader.
Know what is different about Pharmacy today that may set it apart from Pharmacy in the past.

Always rat on cheaters.
Always find a way to sneak your achievements into your answers.
Always try and link an answers to a real life experience.
Always appear calm and pleasant.

You should be humble, but be confident in yourself. Have the mindset that you already made it in the school. If you prepare in this way, there is no way you will be caught off guard. Good luck.

Did you apply early decision?

Yes I did, but bc i didn't complete all the prerequisite classes within this Fall, so they hold my acceptance to regular decision. :| I'm still waiting for their official acceptance though.

There was about 10 people when I saw the sign in sheet. No they did not. After the interview I just went down to Mrs. Davis to talk about what to expect next. After that we had a chance to speak to a P4 student. We will know Tuesday about being given an offer or not.
