LOI is letter of intent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetjasmine Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Oh thanks sorry I didn't know the abbreviation. Also I'm more nervous about the interview than the letter:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essien Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 both are crucial and they both scare me at least the interview isnt live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetjasmine Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks guys but at this point during this pandemic with little motivation for us to even focus on regular life, adding these info is just too much. We all have read these info and it would be awesome if you guys don't ruin our very little motivation to function. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetjasmine Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Can we all just focus on the main goal of this discussion. I created this discussion to talk about the application deadlines and interviews not the job opportunities. I'm pretty sure there are discussions about that where your info will be greatly appreciated but this discussion is not the best place for your info. Anyone interested can also look up those discussions where they can find similar info which will be helpful for their purpose, but this discussion purpose is not related to these types of info. Thanks all. offmychestplease, ghostintheshell, midnight19 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR99 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hey! I'm in my second year of the program currently (Class of 2021); let me know if you guys have any questions I might be able to help with! Not sure how often I'll check this forum but be sure to read some of the previous years' application threads for some information :) Good luck!

Sweetjasmine Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Awesome any info about interview that would be helpful? Thanks again for helping this year kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR99 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Well it might be different for you guys but the interview really wasn't that bad. The LOI and interview are basicallyyyy just ways to get to know you and aren't very intensive. When they release the interview software link, there will be a section where you can practice how the system works (with non-pharmacy related questions), so remember to practice using that to calm your nerves a little. Just be aware of how much time you're given for each question and try to get your answers/points across effectively :) I'm sure y'all will do great! Let me know if you guys have more questions once you get further into your applications :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Canada Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Has anyone done the the LOI? Can I talk about the school clubs in the extracurricular section? I am just a bit confused when they say write about personal extracurricular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd2025 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 What did you put for LOI? Mine was short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak24 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 35 minutes ago, dd2025 said: What did you put for LOI? Mine was short. For the first portion, I put what motivated me to want to get into the field. I kind of had a specific event that made me see the profession in a different light, so I talked about that, and finished it off by how I can contribute to the field if I get in. For extracurriculars, I talked about what I do aside from work/school/organized volunteering. I had somewhat of a variety of extracurriculars that did not involve the usual school clubs, so I talked about how the activities I chose to do impacted me, those around me and how I would relate them to the field. There is only so much we can say in 500 characters tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
