nerdy_unicorn Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Does anyone know when we can start applying for living on campus residence? It feels like a waste of money to apply if we don't know if we have been accepted to the program yet but I feel like they are going to tell us so late and by then it might be too late to apply for housing (unless we get guaranteed housing)?

Si3 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 so i emailed abouth the residency declaration and they said "I have been advised that the Residency Declaration will be sent out once the Undergraduate Admissions Office determines all applicants that meet the required minimum requirement." which is weird cause the process seems so slow this year compared to the previous years from what i read in the past forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0reddd101 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 yeah idk if its covid or because a lot of people applied - I have a feeling there are less people than usual who applied to the program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you apply now you might not get housing for next year, I applied since last august and my lowest waitlist number is 500. So yeah, I think apply as soon as possible because chances are that you might have difficultly finding on campus residence if you apply later than now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy_24 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Anyone else notice that there are now pre-recorded interview questions and scenarios instead of actual (albeit virutal) MMIs?? Imo, I would much rather have an interview with a person presenting scenarios and have that human interaction rather than have a computerized, movie-like setting. I have had enough of this pandemic and online learning for me to repeat the same thing with an interview that basically decides my future. Anyway - reminder to have your residency declarations in by this Sunday (the 21st)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gonna say it shows in the first year class that some people really benefitted from that kind of interview... b0reddd101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurrrpharm Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Does anyone know how many applicants they're giving out interviews for? I believe overall they are accepting 224 applicants after the interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetjasmine Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 No clue but I think we can ask them after the interview results get released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0reddd101 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 guys update: apparently around 700-1000 people applied this year, usually they give out interviews to 400-500 is my guesstimate so sounds like its really competitive. also I confirmed and we won't be getting it around April 1st, probably a few weeks into April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetjasmine Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 This is very interesting. I don't know why so many people are applying to pharmD this year. This is the case for other universities as well. Despite the fact that a few courses such as labs are not offered this year. This seems strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you also tell me where you found this? It is also quite surprising that this thread is less active compare to previous years, yet we have considerable number of applicants.

Little Standard Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 So we might expect higher admission average for this year.... I'm not sure if my average is even competitive enough to spot an interview now, since I'm currently at high 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured pharm would be less and less competitive every year. When I applied last year I thought most people got in? I didnt really see anyone get rejected. Whereas in previous years thread, there were ppl saying they got rejected. :O 1 hour ago, Little Standard said: So we might expect higher admission average for this year....
