School begins... and now things get serious

Now that school has started for most of you (and for us), this is truly the beginning of the application and interview cycle for schools of pharmacy. Our committee has had a couple of brief reviews looking at the class we enrolled for the Class of 2013 and how they compare to previous classes. It is our hope every year, as I assume it to be with most institutions, to admit the highest quality of student with the best GPAs, PCATs, etc.

For the past several months we have offered to review personal statements and the final tally was nearly 400! This took a significant amount of time, but we learned a lot about many of you and hope that you have found our blog to be helpful. We think we have made a positive difference in your efforts to gain admission. The next step is completing your supplemental applications (where required) and begin interview preparation. Oh, and don't forget to study and keep your grades up during the process.

If you have questions related to the interview process, please ask them at this time. You can post questions in the comments field or send us an email: pharmacyschooladmissions@gmail.com

We also hope that you will keep us updated on your progress. If you have had communication with a school, been offered an interview, or been rejected, we would appreciate knowing so that the information can be used to assist others. We also sincerely hope that you will "follow" us on the blog and pass this blog link along to everyone you know. We have some features planned with mock interviews and online discussions that should be informative and educational. More info coming soon.

Good luck with the school year. Email us any questions you have and tell us how you are doing as we enter the next phase of what is lengthy process of becoming a pharmacist.

Best-
Admissions
