UConn Special Program in Pharmacy

Has anyone who has applied to UConn for pharmacy received the email for the interview invitation? The website says late January and I’m worried I haven’t been selected. Thanks

Nothing. Wish they’d let us know either way.

My daughter applied and did not receive an invitation to interview either. There are two SPIP websites and one indicates that the interview occurs “late January through Skype -by invitation only,” and the other requires a “”favorable admission interview during the Pharm D application phase (not during the freshman application phase.)” My daughter’s already received a guarentee into the Pitt pharm which is really exciting. That said, we are CT residents so there would be significant cost savings at UConn. Fingers crossed for everyone!

Anybody hear from the Special Program in Pharmacy?

hopefully they come out in the letter. i also did not get asked for a Skype interview

Does your portal indicate ACES Pre-Pharmacy?

yes ^

My portal says ACES Pre-Pharmacy too. When I called yesterday admissions said they were doing interviews for special pharmacy, but when I called pharmacy directly they said they weren’t doing interviews this year. I don’t know what to believe. Wait for the letter, I guess. Pittsburg is a sure thing for me.

@MA1206 Thanks for that information. Pitt is the same sure thing for my daughter.

I got same ACES Pre-Pharmacy admission letter, but not for Special Program. Please post message, if you get interview or any other message for SPIP.

Maybe someone else could call admissions to get a straight answer?

I will email admissions officer today and let you know what I hear.

Admissions said notifications regarding special programs including pharmacy will be sent by postal mail on Friday (today).

I did not receive an interview but I was accepted through the mail yesterday!

Accepted! now have to decide between UConn and Pitt…year 5 and 6 cost less at Pitt since I’m out of state for UConn (NE regional tuition)
