I've moved up. Originally top 50 now about 1/2 that. here's hoping.
My Spring grades will not be sent until June 14 !! So I have to wait for changes if any untill then. My spring classes are not prerequisites for the pharmacy and they are post Bach classes, anybody knows if that makes any difference in my ranking or not? I am getting A in both, so it will change my overall GPA!

I don't mind his complaining if it gets the wait list moving again. Then whoever is serious about USN will still be here. I got the same e-mail as you Jew Unit. Good Luck.

lol...I can't stand it. Good luck...It's June. We still have time to get accepted if we are high in the waitlist...But I understand where your coming from;I want to get accepted this year as well.
Okay, first of all, congrats to all the students who got accepted
It's been a while I haven't come to this thread and looked at this, 24 pages, wow
I am P1 student, and currently doing my Summer rotation right now. After reading a lots of complains from Mr. Blah and some students about USN, I think, hmm, why don't I give some positive feedback to our school
First of all, passing with 90% is not that HARD like people keep complaining and bashing about USN. Let me tell you, multiple questions are mostly directly from lecture notes, if you keep up with the lectures, then you are definitely fine.
I passed every single assessment on Friday, I joined several organizations, and I am an active member for medical Corp reserve, I slept 2 hours every day after class, studied until 11pm, facebooking, movies, music, bowling, party, you have time to do all of that stuff, Don't worry
And to me, this school is easier than my undergrad,
about the complains that professors do not care for their students, I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
Some professors are very nice and willing to compromise and listen to the students. I am very surprised that some people who are in PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL but still act like they are little kids, need the school and professor to take care for them EVERYTHING. I AM VERY SURPRISED that every single lecture , SOME of students still ask these type of questions : WILL THIS Material BE ON THE EXAM, WILL THAT MATERIAL BE ON THE EXAM?
and I AM VERY Surprised that the professors are very patient and even answer to those kind of questions, COME ON, They are in professional school, ( not in 1st grade school or high school) they are future pharmacists who will be dealing with patient's health,
When I was in undergrad, my professors really hate those type of Qs : will this material be on the exam, and if you ask those types of Qs, trust me, they will give you the Dirty looks
IT all depends on an individual, how much you want to learn, how much you are willing to learn, and where do you want to be later on in life, and trust me, if you are slacking off, do not want to go beyond your comfortable zone, then you will pay..
Professors and the school only contribute 10 %, and the rest is you
If people complain about USN, then listen to other students from other schools: UCSF, USC,or UOP, students have to learn everything on their own,
Good luck, BE POSITIVE, If all of us can do it, then you can do it,

Thanks theraflu for the encouragement! I have a question for you or any other P1. How are the summer rotations set up? Do u do them in the state where ur campus is or in your home state? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks
Hi Sugardarlin
I am doing my summer rotation in California right now, 10 minutes driving from my house,
If you decide to do summer rotation in Nevada, then the school will take care for you , will find the site for you, you don't have to worry anything, all you have to do is just sit back and relax
but if you want to go back to your home state, then you have to contact your home state preceptor, ( Rite Aid, CVS, Walmart, Kaiser..)
I contacted the district manager very early in February and when she assigned the store for me, I emailed Dr. Oesterman and the rest is behind the curtain ( school do the rest of application process)
Summer rotation is the time for you to actually apply your knowledge to practice, so take that as the learning opportunity, good luck
Hope that helps

Thanks theraflu, for the positive feedback! That's the whole purpose of having a forum like SDN, is to have successful people like you encourage others. The way I see it, having a negative attitude gets you halfway to failure. We need more input from students with positive experiences to undo the damage that "Mr Blah" and "oneangreystuden" did to this forum! (Yea, I'm calling out names AND pointing fingers...WHAT!?) So once again, thank you theraflu!

Also, I am looking for my Vietnamese buddy Quinn from CA that I met at the Feb interview. Wondering if you got in or where you decided to go. Love to grab a beer with you, brother, during orientation...

I am ranked 40. Thats just for the Utah campus. Most everyone seems to be pulling for Nevada.
Good luck...I'm on the waitlist for both locations. I really don't care where which campus I get accepted at...Did Dr. DeYoung tell you specifically that your ranked 40 or did he right that your in the Top 40?
I'm in the top 10 (was 25). Interviewed all the way back in January.

Good luck to all of you still on the wait list. Hopefully you here some good news soon.Hopefully you here soon, there is a ton of stuff to get ready and submitted before school starts. Getting current vaccinations, financial aid stuff...There is just alot of paper work, but its definitely worth it.

If I remember right The waitlist goes until about the first week of August from what they said at the interview, i could be remembering wrong though.
Damn...Your getting if for sure....
According to the e-mail I got from Dr. DeYoung (on June 1st)...If a seat's available by the August 27 (orientation day), then he'll e-mail the person...I think the date your referring to is the last date for people to defer their seats (August 2nd I believe but call to find out for sure)

can someone clarify how hard the 3 year program is? i need to know before i settle becuse I don't know if i will be able to handle a 90% passing score and also do an accelerated thing. I have mostly B's at a UC. Do they just say its 90% passing but the exam is really easy or is it really hard? becuase I've heard many people say different things. some are like omg ists so hard you have to get so and so right out of only a few questions if you get one wrong you're screwed etc. other people say its passable. if you went to a UC and got a 3.0ish please let me know how you're doing at USN.

I thought that it was harder at the UC than it is at USN though it has been many years since I was there so my memories might not be that reliable. At the UC, I had to reproduce the answers in short answer essays or work out problems of some sort. At USN, I only have to recognize the correct answer (with the exception of pharmacy calculations exams where you do have to work out problems). That makes it much easier. You can get the correct answer just by knowing that it is that drug that starts with an F or ends with tecan. If you are used to studying enough to be prepared to write a short essay about a topic then the multiple test format seems like a step down in terms of difficulty. Now if you went to a school where the exams were typically in the multiple choice format then USN will probably seem a lot harder. There is much more material along with the pressure to get a 90%.
