You had really good points too! There were people in my interview group that applied with around 24-25 points (which is also really good!). The writing sample and interview only add to that initial score. We’re way more likely to be in the top 60 than one of 7 or so that get declined (I feel bad saying that...I swear I don’t mean it in a bad way!)

There’s a very good chance some people applied to multiple programs and will accept a different offer and that will open up spots for alternates.

How many interviewed total?

67, I think. 37 on Monday and 30 today, assuming everyone showed up.

Hey all, I have a question for you guys - do you think it is absolutely necessary to take patho before pharm? I’m trying to figure out my summer school schedule right now and it seems like getting them both out of the way before fall would be impossible as I have to take another class this summer. On the nursing page it says you can take either, but I know that pharm is required to be done before second semester. Just not really sure how to go about this.

I don’t think it matters which order you take them in. I took both classes online last semester. In my opinion, pharm was a lot harder than patho. Getting them out of the way is definitely a great idea - that way you won’t have to take them in addition to all of the nursing classes/clinicals.

According to the Course outline you aren't required to do both, you can do one or the other. I think most people want to get both to help with admissions points. 2

If you’re going to take only one instead of both, take pharmacology. It’s a lot of information

Oh ok thank you guys! I’ll probably just take pharm then ?

I saved all of the powerpoints and my notes from pharm to review over the summer ?

Also, Mosby's Pharmacology Notecards are amazing.

I was going to chime in on this, definitely take Pharm if you get to choose between the two classes! It really is a ton of information! I'm definitely going to be reviewing my Pharm notes over the Summer!

Those notecards look super helpful, I had a set I bought when I was taking A&P that were lifesavers.

I’m happy to share my powerpoints if anyone wants them to review!
