jim2025 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 @SamAlfra Thank you! I'm IP. I can't be too sure but I think the difference maker may be that the last time I took a university course was in 2018, so they already had all the materials they needed to make a decision before the transcript deadline. When did all your transcripts arrive? Don't worry too much!! Transcript deadline is June 15 so it'd be silly of them to make too many decisions before getting the full picture for all applicants. @VBryce is your IP/OOP status and transcript situation similar to mine at all? Are you willing to share your stats/work & volunteer experience? I have no idea how we got admitted so soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamAlfra Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thank you for your reply @ac2025. My transcripts were received on May 21. I hope I hear back from them soon. I don't like waiting at all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you willing to share your stats/work & volunteer experience? I have no idea how we got admitted so soon I am an IP student as well! My transcripts were in early, and I did my interview in May! My OGPA was 3.94 and my pre requisite GPA was around 3.0. I did the majority of my pre requisites nearly 10 years ago, and since then I have two undergrad degrees! So I definitely think they took into consideration the improvement of my grades since I did my pre requisites. I didn’t have any pharmacy experience, but I had work and volunteer experience in other fields! Wishing everyone luck and excited to meet you all in the fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamAlfra Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Congratulations @paulski! May I ask if you are an OOP applicant? I am an OOP applicant, and so far it seems only IP applicants are receiving their letters (if accepted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zora Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Are rejections given first and then acceptances? Some of my friends got accepted and others got rejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hey do you guys know if you can delay your accept/decline for other offers? I applied into pharmacy and I am waiting for the results but my back up plan was to do food science. I have until June 28th to accept it and I have to pay $500 non refundable tuition fee. Is there any way I can delay it until I get accepted or declined for pharmacy because they make decisions till August? Anyone else in the same boat?

Zora Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I meant for another program.. like if you got accepted for something else other than pharmacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt that you would be able to get the non refundable tuition payment deadline delayed. The university is usually pretty strict about those deadlines.

SamAlfra Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 For those who have been accepted recently, congratulations! Can you please share with us how many seats have been filled already? Waiting and not knowing what is going on is nerve wrecking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scept Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I don't know about the amount of seats being filled but I am in the Class of 2025 discord and there's about 25 people I think? Sorry, that's just off the top of my head. My guess is somewhere between 30-50 people have been accepted so far but I may be completely wrong.

DreamerSW Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Don't worry everyone! According to my beartracks 74 seats are left. If you haven't been rejected, I think there's definitely still hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
