Anyone applying to VCU as an early decision applicant for the class of 2015? If so, have you heard anything back from them?
Hey mano, again
Not necessarily will you be the last one, if you're competitive you'll probably be contacted immediately.
I think I might be deferred though because I still have 4 prerequisite classes to complete, and all science, so...
I will be getting my degree in May but I still have 27 credits alone in it to finish this year w/o counting those 4 classes (taking 18 credits this sem). I know they said we can be finished by the end of the summer but I'm cutting it close since I'm not working on any of them now, so I'd have them done over the spring and summer. Plus my PCAT scores will be cutting it close too since they come at the end of the month. But yeah I guess we'll see...I don't think that this should have a difference. As long as you're finished will all your pre-reqs prior to matriculation, you'll be fine, in my opinion. I still have 2 science classes and 3 electives to complete. I'm taking 4 of those 5 classes this semester and 1 next semester and I'll have my B.S in May. Will you be getting your degree in May or have you just been working on pre-reqs?

So seems like we applied the earliest out our grand total of 3 on here lol, still haven't heard anything?
I hope so! Why won't September go faster already ...Nope, still haven't heard anything. I'm hoping we hear something within the next 2 weeks.
Just got the call! Interview is set for sept 25!

Really early, my GPAs were calculated before mid July and my application was one of the first to be sent out, I believe Aug 02.when did you send in your application Cloud 9 ?
OMG you guys...I just got an interview invite! Yay! It was so funny, so I log on here and saw that CBPharmD got an interview invite so I jumped to my phone and saw a voicemail message so I started like jumping up and down and then I called Melissa and I'm sure she thinks I'm a bumbling idiot now lol I could not even speak...ahhh omg I can't believe it I'm so nervous now...I hope my PCAT scores are decent...
haha, thats awesome! I was sitting in Physics class and my phone started vibrating...I saw that it was an 804 number...but I couldn't answer it! Needless to say, I couldn't concentrate until I was able to listen to the voice mail after class. Good luck! When are you interviewing?
Yeah you'll be fine! Some people get theirs mailed around now or even slightly later and they still get interviews. And yours was already mailed so I'm sure you're fine.see my application didnt get mail until the 8/30 mailing, but it should have made it there by 9/3. Does anyone know if they look at those later and I could still be called? I know two people who have got calls but their apps were mailed 8/2... thanks! worrieddd
Thank you, you too! Thats crazy, I got the call when I was in class too but I leave my cell at home sometimes so I didn't know for a whole 3+ hours, thankfully your post saved the day
I'm interviewing Sept 25th...I would've preferred more time to prepare, but she told me that was all they had open "for now", so I hope it all goes well.
Have you ever been to the VCU area? I'm thinking about doing a test run down there cause I've never really been to that area and it seems parking is really bad from what I've heard...it's like an hour and some from where I live...
Also are you taking a #2 pencil w/you? I saw last year and previous years' the interviewees had to do an essay. I'm imagining like we come in and then somebody yells sit down, pencils out, you have 30 minutes to write this essay...damn this reminds me of the PCAT all over again
Got the call, interview on october 9th
I have the supp. and it doesn't say anything about a fee. If you receive information saying otherwise though let me know please! Thankshey
those of you that have the Sep. 25th interview, do you know if we have a supplemental app fee??
i called vcu admissions couple days ago and they said they were gonna send another email about it but i havent recieved it

Once again, congratulations everyone for getting an interview! I'm sure everyone will do just fine.

my supplemental application does not say anything about a fee but the school directory information for vcu on pharmcas does say the fee is $30...
Check your emails!
I just got a revised supplemental application.
The cost is $30 and is only by money order or check.
Just saw it, thanks I bet they emailed us cause you followed up
hey guys..
so I got my pcat scores from August and.. they don't look so hot
My science scores look fine but I bombed the reading comprehension part!!
do you know if VCU weighs interview pretty high? as in.. even if my scores aren't high.. they will accept me if I do well on my interview?
I'm a bit bummed cuz of my pcat scores.. sigh..
any suggestions?
Hey Pharmlove, Dr. Reinders came to ODU to speak to us about VCU's School of Pharmacy and he said that a bad pcat score will not stop them from accepting you. As long as you're well rounded, have some experience, and do ok at the interview I think you'll be fine.
Hi,
To all of those people who got a call for the Oct. 9 interview, how are all of you feeling right now? At the moment I feel excited and but then there's the part of me who is nervous knowing that it's not over, yet. Just wondering =)
