<p>Hi everyone!
On WA, it says my app. was sent 12/06/05 and all my stuff got there 1/05/06. I applied pre-pharmacy but on WA, it says undecided. It would be great if you could look over my chances and tell me what you think. Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, any information on the pharmacy program, the program's environment, location, people, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Do you know anyone who is in it, are they happy, sad, miserable, etc? Thanks!</p>

<p>The undecided thing on WA is something that happened to everyone.</p>

<p>As for your chances, you applied kinda late and your GPA is slightly below average. Decent SAT scores though. Your chances aren't great, but they aren't bad either.</p>

<p>I think you're in.</p>

<p>I might do pre-pharm too. I'm not sure yet.</p>

<p>Your GPA could be higher than 3.5 'cause Michigan doesn't count your freshman year.</p>

<p>Hey =)</p>

<p>I think the reason it says you're undecided on WA is because the program you applied to is one of the preferred admissions programs that accepts you for a study that will extend beyond your 4 undergraduate years. So it's somewhat like applying to one of UMich's graduate programs in advance and reserving a spot for the future. You may have an undergraduate major of undecided in LSA, but a curriculum geared towards pharmacy.</p>

<p>No everyone shows undecided. I did not apply to a preferred admissions program, just regular LSA, with French as my major and it still says undecided for me, along with a friend of mine who just applied to the CoEngin.</p>
