Lynn123 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hey guys, I also got an acceptance email this morning. I had an overall 3.8 GPA, with my last two years being both 3.9. My first year with the majority of my prerequisites was lower at a 3.6. I had no experience working in a pharmacy, although I still felt okay with my LOI and interview. For anyone worried about the length of their answers on the interview, all of mine were relatively short and to the point. Congratulations to everyone that got accepted, and good luck to the rest of you! :) nicolelk and student-123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student-123 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Wow, seems like lots of people are getting accepted already, congrats. My final transcript wasn’t received till earlier this week, I hope that doesn’t put me in a disadvantage :( Good luck to the people who are waiting; this waiting seems dreadful.

However, my admission was deemed ineligible, as according to the registrar's office, it doesn't. Has anyone else applying from UofC had this happen? It is extremely upsetting because I should not have to pay for a mistake made by the STUDENT SERVICES! It is so unfair. Omg! This is terrible! You should definitely contact them regarding it. I took the microbiology course separately from Athabasca (I am from u of c). However, for stat I took BIOL 315 and pharmacy advisor said it will replace stat requirement (now I’m afraid they will do the same). Did you contact pharmacy department?

I am not sure what is going on honestly, as I would expect to at least hear back from someone. Why did you decide to take microbio at Athabasca, how'd it go? I wanted to make sure I have all the pre req done by this year, so I did it through Athabasca, as my schedule was already full. It went really well; it’s a lot of memorization though. I really hope they get back to you tomorrow. I knew bio 331 didn’t count for that requirement, because I read it somewhere before. The micro bio class from u of c counts though.

Boboeat Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 with no updates on admissions in this forum, I am assuming no new decisions have been sent out!!!!!.. I am just too restless about my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiramisuGirl Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hi everyone, I received my acceptance this afternoon. I was surprised, considering that it is relatively early and I thought I did poorly on all 3 oral interview questions. My LOI and the written portion of the interview were strong, however. To those waiting, please don't stress! I'm a second time applicant and I found the wait very difficult last year. Try not to overthink it and enjoy your summer! I know it's tempting, but don't spend all your time on your email. Don't let 3 months slip by waiting for something out of your control. Finally, if not this year, next year, don't stress! Good luck to everyone waiting! I'm excited to meet you all in September! student-123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 My spoken english requirement has yet to be completed. I am just worried that it still just says 'initiated' on bear tracks and its past the deadline. I just emailed the registrar, any one else experiencing this?

My transcript says initiated, but I sent it back in April. My application also says "action needed" I'm not sure what that means because all my documentation has been submitted. franky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an in-province applicant, so my transcripts were sent automatically through ApplyAlberta. It still took the registrar ~2 weeks to update my BearTracks status, so it might be that it takes a while. Still, 2 months sounds very fishy, I would definitely give them a call or contact through student connect (they're relatively fast). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I called the registrar and they said it takes them a week or 2 for them to receive and process any documentation that has been mailed to them but as long as it is post dated on june 15 or earlier, they would still accept it. I am just worried that while other applications gets reviewed, they won't review mine because not all requirements are completed. Congrats to all who got in already! Does anyone receive a rejection letter yet? Goodluck to everyone who is waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salam19 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 My understanding is that if the admission letters are not received by end of June, then the refusal letters will be received in early July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm a current pharm student going into my 3rd year. I was in your same position a couple years ago, seeing people getting accepted without having my transcripts requested yet. No need to panic! I didn't get accepted until towards the end of June. And to anyone who doesn't get accepted at the end of June, if you don't get a rejection letter, you still have a chance! People get accepted up until September when people drop out of their spots. Good luck to everyone still waiting! TiramisuGirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you enjoyed, didn't enjoy, wish you knew going in? Any advice is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmCat Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hey guys, I’m heading into my 2nd year of pharmacy and just wanted to let you know that I didn’t receive my acceptance letter until July 5, so don’t worry too much My GPA wasn’t too high either at 3.45 with my last 2 years at 3.8. I believe that having graduated with degree may have helped my application a bit! TiramisuGirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
