Looks like interviews will be held via zoom this cycle. Anyone hear anything?

The deadline is July 1st. I don’t believe they start notifying till after that.

I was going to wait another year, but with them waiving the GRE for this cycle, I am considering applying now.

Thanks everyone for you answers! This is for an upcoming dosage exam.

Oh wait, that still gives us 1545 instead of 1535í ¾í´¦*♀️
