Applying

PharmCAS application

Ìý

All students are encouraged to apply by the priority deadline (deadlines shown above) before interviews are held. You must submit an online application through the Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS). Detailed instructions for submission of your application, and 3 letters of reference, are available on the PharmCAS site. All materials should be submitted directly to PharmCAS.

Ìý

Our class begins filling quickly after the October interviews. We continue interviewing in November, January, February, March, and April, unless all seats are filled before this point. Please note that PharmCAS requires 4-6 weeks to verify academic records before your application is forwarded to ÍøÆØÃÅ or any other college of pharmacy. Check your PharmCAS account regularly to verify all materials were received (letters of reference, transcripts verified, etc.). Without a verified PharmCAS application, PharmCAS will not release your file and you cannot be considered for admission.

Applicants must complete the linked supplemental application and mail the submission receipt with the associated fee of $75 by May 1, 2025. Fees may be paid by check or money order only. Please note that your application packet will be considered incomplete and you will not be invited for an interview until these items are received by the school, so earlier submissions will be necessary in order to participate in early interviews. We recommend that you submit this application at the same time that you e-submit your PharmCAS application.

Ìý

The $75 Supplemental Application fee will be waived for those students who submit the applications by November 1, 2024.

Only competitive applicants are invited to interview. Interviewees will be invited via email approximately 2 weeks in advance of the below 2024-2025* interview dates.

Students should submit updated transcripts immediately after December exams during the Academic Update Window (beginning December 15) to ensure the Admissions Committee receives the updated information by early-January to be considered for a January, February, March, April or May interview. As stated above, PharmCAS will require 4-6 weeks processing time before individual colleges receive the updates, so please submit this as soon as possible after finishing fall semester coursework.

Students will be notified of their admission decision via email within two weeks after their interview date. Notifications will be given regardless of decision; i.e., acceptance, waitlist, or no offer. Admission offers will be considered conditional until applicants have met several requirements (criminal background check, final transcript submission, coursework completion, acceptance of technical standards, etc.). The majority of admission decisions are made by April each year.

Ìý

Applicants are required to accept or reject an admission offer within 14 days of its receipt. Students must also submit a nonrefundable pharmacy activities fee of $200 within that time period. This fee covers all extracurricular expenses for the entire 4-year period of pharmacy school.

Current ÍøÆØÃÅ students may skip this step. Accepted applicants who do not already attend ÍøÆØÃÅ must apply for general admission to the university online. The same is true for admitted ÍøÆØÃÅ undergraduates who will have completed a degree before beginning the pharmacy program. Choose the undergraduate transfer application (not the graduate application) and indicate pre-pharmacy as your major. Questions about this portion of the admission process should be directed to 1-800-372-5127.
