So, I called the Office of Admissions and asked about sending in SATs after the deadline.
The woman said that you can do so and that a little note in the app would help.


Also, the lady said that they highly advise a log of community service?
Did anyone who applied for the pre-pharm. program do that?

I just wrote down how many hours of community service I did on the app.

[Illicit]

Do we put volunteer work & job-shadowing experience under Activities or where? There's a field for the name and the position, but no space for # of hours, etc...

[hellolove.]

Well, they also want you to do the commonapp, I think?
The commonapp has a spot to put how many hours of an activity you did.

Ugh, I have a feeling I won't get into the pharm program...
I hear it's super easy to get into the actual school, but not the dentist/pharm program.

Does UOP take your weighted grade btw?

[Illicit]

^Unweighted, I believe.

And I thought Common app was optional since it says 'online application or common application'.

[kuku]

I don't think any colleges actually weigh grades. That just over inflates things out of proportion.

Don't do the common app if you are applying for the advantage program. Actually, I don't even think you are allowed to do that.

When I applied, there was a box that says, "list other things you haven't shown us in your app. here."
That's where I put my hours down.

It's been way too long. I don't even remember what the app looks like anymore.

[hellolove.]

aw, balls.
I read somewhere online that they did. Lies and slander.

D: I just checked the app. and there is no box for comments.
You just list the activities, awards, etc. and how many years you've done them for.
There's a box on the commonapp?

[noquiero]

Does anyone know how hard it is to get into UOP for their sciences majors/pre-pharm? I heard that UOP was generally not that hard to get into (collegeboard tells me that I'm within their 50%)... I have a 3.5 weighted GPA and a 1550 ( D: ) SAT. I'm applying there soon (free app thank God). ALSO anyone know how generous they are with finaid?

[lilblugirl91]

^ uop is pretty generous with their fin aid
but it is reallyyy costly. and almost everyone here has fin aid from what i see & hear.
umm. still try for the program, since im sure you have a chance getting in.
i forgot what the stats were. but it is pretty competitive.

"For its pre-pharmacy program, about 1,750 apply each year for the 120 slots, for about a 7 percent acceptance rate."
http://www.individual.com/story.php?story=108931457

however I don't think its really a 7 percent acceptance rate..thats just 120/1750.
Of the total 1750 application pool, hundreds are probably accepted, and of those only about 120 actually decide to go to UOP...right?

1550 out of 2400? Well if you scale it to like the 1600, I think you may be put into the 4+3 program or bio major. And telling us your weighted GPA is useless since UOP takes raw GPA. Hopefully it's above 3.0

lol buddy, I think that site quoted wrong. You are looking at the number of students who apply from another school into the pharmacy school at UOP. If you are in the pre-pharm program and do everything right, you are guaranteed a seat. It's like 100% acceptance. haha

[Illicit]

I heard UOP's pre-dental program has 17% acceptance rate.. unless I heard wrong at the preview day. It's so competitive >.< Makes me uneasy since I have average stats..

[hellolove.]

around a week 'til the deadline.

hey illicit, did you hear anything about the pre-pharm acceptance rate?

yeah, i have average stats also. fml D:
let's have hope, yeah? haha

[Illicit]

^Sorry but the pre-dents and pre-pharms had different sessions D:

Yeah, best of luck to the both of us!!

Is it true UOP does rolling admissions? I'm retaking the SATs again this december, but if that's true, my app will be one of the last they'll consider.

They ask if we took the SAT or not - if we choose yes, we have to put superscores for the sections. If we choose no, we have to put down the planned date of the test. Since we can't put both (current scores and planned), what do you think I should do?

Uhmmm, well I called the Office of Admissions to see whether this

was true, and the lady said that it was fine to use the commonapp even if you're applying for an accelerated program. So, I'm turning my app in using the commonapp since there is no additional comments box on the UOP online app -____-;;

[Illicit]

^Yeah.. office of admissions told me to send an email (including name, dob, etc) that my test scores for dec will arrive late dec/early jan).

Another uneasy part about it is:
Primary Major: Dental: Pre-Dentistry <-- this is what they meant by the pre-dental advantage program.. I hope. Because the next part was about a pre-professional program - which there wasn't a dental one. I hope I did it right ;__;

*DONE! Celebrate! Phew, sighofreliefjoy* <-- After I pushed submit xD;

[hellolove.]

okay, so I turned in my application using the commonapp like four days before the November 15th deadline,
but it says this:

Application: Downloaded (Date: 11/16/2009) Deadline: 11/15/2009
Supplement: Downloaded (Date: 11/16/2009) Deadline: 11/15/2009

what does that mean? does that mean i didn't make the deadline?! wtf?

The common app was turned in online right? Maybe there was a delay between when the company got it versus UOP.

I really don't know if it'll change anything though.

[Illicit]

I hope their database gets fixed/updated soon (by monday, I think it said). I want to check on my app status and see if the forms got there okay, haha ^^;
