I've been investigating this school ever since I heard about it last year. I had a cousin who attended the scam school in Hawaii, so there's no doubt that if I choose to apply to Northstate, it'll be my very last choice. Anyways, this school already seems a little....untrustworthy. Some school reps came by last week and, of course, they were all trying persuade us to apply. The professor who came said that they "received 2200 applicants, gave out +500 interviews and currently have 88 students in their first class. Avg. GPA is about 3.2," Well, instead of studying genetics, I checked the numbers on pharmcas this morning. The numbers don't add up.
According to Pharmcas:
Statistics for 2008 Entering Class Acceptees *
Number interviewed: 344
Number accepted: 105
Entering class size: 80
Estimated applicants accepted: 80
average GPA of accepted students: 3.03
Now, I know Pharmcas isn't always up to date on stats. Actually, I know these aren't the write numbers because they said last update "April 2008) However, it's still hard to believe that they receieved more applications than UCSF,UOP, etc. And that they accepted a somewhat large class even though they don't have an actual school(they're renting out a floor of some business). HmmMMM....fishy, fishy...
All the students reps that came didn't seem excited about attending the school too.
Is it a profit-only school? Are the professors really like what people posted on the boards? Would I really want to go to this school (stay in CA) rather than go to an out-of-state school that already has candidate status? I'll see how the they go about accepting their second class. *sigh* If only it were a little easier getting accepted to UCSF. roflmao
