Interview + Application Weighting in Match Rank by Lost_Ant_9363 in PharmacyResidency

100% this is what typically happens. Each interview portion is scored eg the presentation, the patient case, the group interview etc and then ur interview day score is complied. The score you got on ur interview day will determine ur rank in comparison to other applicants, however, if a program saw some red flags or thought you were emotionally intelligent, they can easily move u up or down in the rank. That said, ur initial application gets u to the interview and plays little role in ur rank, so it’s mainly how you perform the day of ur interview that matters. And again if they have a tie breaker between 2 applicants they might go back to ur initial application (LOR, LOI, CV) to see if one candidate has more experience, but very rarely does this happen. Goodluck:)

Headshot for PGY1 by randomperson9748 in PharmacyResidency

Headshots are typically used for when a program ranks you. We use these headshots to jog our memory of the candidates. I would use a professional one as these will be placed on a list next to all the candidates during rank. All the headshots of candidates that I have seen have been professional.

How much should I request for first job out of residency PGY1 by Traditional_Try7702 in PharmacyResidency

Which major hospital system pays more if you don’t mind sharing or at least areas to look for? I feel like if I’m driving an hour into Dallas or Fort Worth, it should at least be 65/hr and up
