Reaching out with Outreach...

It's a busy day, today...

I'm in San Diego for the Southern California Pre-Pharmacy Symposium at UC San Diego -- I think it's the first of what will hopefully be an annual event!

Meanwhile, our Outreach Coordinator, Shirin, is at the 5th Annual Northern California Pre-Pharmacy Symposium at UC Berkeley.

It's important for us to be at these events and to make ourselves available for prospective pharmacy students and applicants. Knowing the challenges of applying to PharmD programs, hopefully our conversations will help alleviate some anxiety. =)

On a similar note (and a shameless plug), WE are hosting our final Spring 2011 Pharmacy Information Day in a few weeks.  We've already had terrific programs in Fresno and Los Angeles (well, Long Beach) and are looking forward to the San Francisco event.

There are a few spots left so I encourage you to register now!

Approximately how many people are waitlisted for UCSF?

It varies from year-to-year. Those people who are on the wait list will eventually know their rank, which is all that really matters (see previous posts about this.)

Ask me anything

Should I send in my AP scores if I reported it on PharmCAS but didn't use them to fulfill UCSF requirements?

Good question.

For AP scores, ONLY students who are offered admission (or a place on the wait list) should consider sending in AP scores.

So...

If you are admitted (or on the wait list) AND you are using AP scores towards fulfilling prerequisite requirements, you must have those scores sent to our office.

If you are admitted (or on the wait list) AND you are NOT using AP scores towards fulfilling prerequisite requirements, you do NOT need to submit those scores.

Ask me anything
