Does that mean that grades and PCAT score will not be taken into account when they decide who is accepted?
...and also your interview. A current student on the panel told me that they really want to see that you are dedicated and a people person.

has anyone recieved an actual letter for instructions on what to do next?
I got my acceptance by email today!
i have been invited to an interview, but i'm not sure what location to choose yet. Can someone please advise me which one i would probably like more? I've been brought up in cities my entire life, and i like convenience and variety when it comes to restaurants, stores, etc... Also, i am more used to warm/hot weather as opposed to cold. Please advise me on which location i should choose. I have researched online but i want to know what you guys think as well, since you might be more familiar with the actual campuses. Thanks so much!
I am not sure about invitations to future interviews or anything. I hope the best, also I know everyone says it so it is kind of annoying.... but freaking out/worry wont help. I was accepted and I am still trying to find something to freak out over. LOL. I told myself that I am seriously just going to have to listen to some of the people because freaking out does not help any and it also makes other nervous. Worrying is not good for my karma. Plus if I am hearing it from many different people... there is a probally a good reason.i still havent heard anything from them yet, do they send the interview invitations all together or they do it one by one? Should i be worrying right now??
Do you get a confirmation email after you submit the deposit? Can you check online?
Grrr... I submitted my PharmCAS and supp on Oct. 15 and still haven't heard back about an interview!! I'm getting worried.
Soo has anyone made a Facebook page for the class of 2017 yet?
I have been invited to interview and am trying to pick a date to attend. The only two I can really make are January 26 or February 23 due to work, school and the fact that I am an out-of-state traveler. Do any of you insiders know if the February 23 date puts me at a greater risk of being wait-listed? Because, unfortunately, that's the date that works best for me in making travel arrangements.
Hey guys! I am a current P-1 at OUCOP and will be more than happy to answer any questions you all may have about the admissions/interview process. Having gone through it less than a year ago I still have a pretty good grasp on the whole process. From what I understand interview invites should be going out anytime now for the first couple of dates in December! Good luck and let me know if you have any questions at all!
I was just thinking about that too. I will do it if you want?? But your welcomed to do it kb1578, if you want.
Also did you all know that you can friend people as well as send private messages on this site too. LOL
I sent some friend requests but only one person responded. LOL
Congratulations omfgitslaura on getting this far in the admissions process, so many people do not get this opportunity! Definitely look at the questions that people have posted on this site under the interview feedback of the pharmacy section. It helps so much, it is actual questions that students who have previously interviewed were asked. Although you do want to be careful in that you do not want your interview to sound too rehearsed, but at least you can begin thinking about how you would answer some of those questions if they arise.
Honestly it is a very relaxed day, they are not there to scare you or intimidate you, they want to get to know the real you and see if you would be a good fit for the program. I know it's easy for me to tell you to relax because I am not the one actually interviewing, but relax. It helps so much I promise! It prevents you from rambling or saying something you will regret later. I think the biggest thing is practice, most of the questions they will ask you are situational questions. And try to practice with people you do not know that well if you can it helps so much as you will be more relaxed.
I am trying to remember some of the questions I was asked. I remember a few I think: describe a time when you made a mistake and how did you fix it, in working in a group, what role do you play and describe a group project you have participated in and your role, describe a time when you went out of your way to help someone else, why pharmacy (definitely be ready for this one it will probably be the first question they ask you), and be ready to ask them intelligent questions (ie not questions where the answer can be found on the website). Definitely do your research on the program through the website, if you haven't already. They want the interview to be more of a conversation than a question and answer session. I remember asking one of the student interviewers what is one thing they wish they would have known when they were in my position.
Just keep this in mind, they have already reviewed your application on paper and know that you are academically capable of successfully completing the program, now they want to see if you have the personality, compassion for the patients, and love of the career before they offer you admission. But ultimately just relax and it will go sooooo much better. The day consists of paperwork, and then you will be divided into groups where you will go on a tour, take a picture for the student panel, try on white coats for size, and a 20-30 minutes interview.
Be confident, keep you head up, you got this! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Congrats once again
I haven't heard of it yet. But that is a good idea.
I think mine could have gone better. When I get nervous, I tend to talk a lot and be really animated... (I talk a lot with my hands, and even more so when I'm nervous...)I was really Impressed with OU's campus and thought my interview went great. How did everyone elses interviews go?
UTsto
i think we were in the same group
