I am just going to play that one safe and bring it in before finals grades are in and then after. If you want to bug her be my guest, and post back what you find Same. I wonder how they are going to make the decision. Are you currently in phoenix?
Interview invitations have been sent out, I think it is on-going. Check your account's home page by the following link:
Yes, there were 3 days to choose from. As long as your status is not denial, invites should be expected sooner or later.
Ok, Sounds good. Congrats on getting an interview though! Thats great!
ha. Since things are going to get real, real soon. I have decided to create an account and join! I also received an invitation this afternoon. Last. I think based on last year's thread it was reverse alphabetical by last.
My last name begins with a "G" and I received my notification via email at 3:51pm. So maybe not reversed this year?
My last name starts with "W" and I got mine on Jan 2nd. I have an impression that the sooner the file is completed, the sooner the invitation is issued. I got my last required item (Fall transcript) posted on Dec 22. Any thoughts?
Yeah it may not be alphabetically. My last transcript was received yesterday and I received my invite yesterday so I have no idea how they're doing it, but yes my status was always "passed initial review" then I received an email notifying me of my status change. When I logged in my status was changed I think to interview invitation it was only there for a second because I accepted a date and no it just has my interview info posted so yes the status does change and options for interview dates are listed. And I applied a day before the deadline (November 30th) and my LOR's were received I think on the 10th? Along with my payment and first half of my transcripts. Hope that helps. Thank you.
No prob! If you have any more questions do not hesitate to ask!
I hope so. She told me they were going to admit 124 students this year so I hope I get in.
I definely will! She hasn't got back to me yet, but I will let you know. When I last spoke to her she said there was 195 submitted applications and estimated about 160-170 interviews. I was offered I think January 15th, 22nd and 23rd. How about you? I chose the 23rd.
Cool! What other schools did you apply to?
I want to apply to more schools just in case, but I haven't figured out exactly where. U of A is my top choice so I'm trying to have all my out of state interviews in March or after. But I also had an interview at Midwestern.
Thanks! You as well.
From my understanding, out of state applicants interview last but that doesn't hurt your chances because everyone finds out at the end of February. During previous years it's obvious in state applicants are favored per u of a website but I'm sure you'll be fine. Just practice interview questions and learn the background of the school and how it's pharmacy program differs (express your future goals) than others because that's usually one of the most common questions (well why do you want to go to this school is usually the question they ask and background helps such as NIH funding) I made the mistake refreshing what I've learned while pursing my undergrad degree, but they didn't seem to care even though I was spitting fire ha (nothing but computational, medicinal and quantum chemsitry) and trying to relate to each interviewee, I thought I did wel,but I guess not... Maybe my appearance. I didn't get to study interview questions. It seems GPA and pcat scores don't influence acceptance so much anymore. I have a 91 composite on the PCAT and a 99 in chemistry on the PCAT a bachelor's degree in biochemistry a 3.35 science GPA and 3.47 culmative gpa, over 5 years tech experience and more and I didn't get into Midwestern. At u of a my cGPA is 3.81 and sGPA is 3.62 and overall 3.71 GPA. I have take graduate courses Medicinal chemistry and advanced organic chemistry and some tough under division courses probably 10 more science classes then I needed.
thank you for all the advice!! wow..well it makes me feel better knowing that out of state students apply last so i know i need to wait awhile..but i'm sorry you didn't get in here! things happen for a reason..are you in a pharm school now or reapplying?
Thanks. And yeah I believe it happened for a reason hopefully because I'm suppose to go to U of A ha but yeah out of state interviews are in February I believe. I'm not in pharmacy school now nor am I reapplying this is my first time applying. Midwestern was my first and only interview so far, u of a will be my second and after that I'm trying to keep all my out of state interviews in March since we find out at the end of Feb from u of a. I wouldn't want to waste money traveling unless I have too. U of A is my top choice.
Ohhh I see, that was with Midwestern! Hopefully it's not based off your appearance. I have my ears stretched (only to 00), a septum and tongue rings but of course those are more hidden haha But keep your head up!! You said as well you didn't practice general interview questions so hopefully you are now for your U of A interview!! good luck! don't let one rejection get you down. Like i said, things happen for a reason and if U of A is your top choice, then Midwestern wouldn't have mattered! Good luck with your process!!
