Do they look for BA or BS degree? what is the cumulative GPA they look for? also, is there any written portion during the interview?

Hopefully after a few people go to the interviews they will post the what the interview process entails, group interview, essay, time frame, etc...

1. Do you need a B.S. Degree before applying to the PharmD Program?No. The PharmD Program admission is either after completion of 2 years of pre-pharmacy pre-requisites or with a Associate of Arts Degree(AA) or with Bachlor Degree and completion of all pre-requisites
   1. What was the average admission GPA for the students entering the PharmD Program?
      Last year's average G.P.A. was 3.47

I visited there a few weeks ago.
Group interview: yes. Maybe up to 3 people, but no more than 5.

Essay: No essay.

Time frame: 15-20 mins.

No bs degree is not an advantage or disadvantage and they are not just looking for gpa alone its the whole package cos my gpa is a 3.8 n i got an interview, my friend's gpa is 3.3 and she got an interview and my other friend's gpa is 3.6 and she didn't get an interview, but i know for a fact that they look at if u volunteer and stuff like that based on your personal statement and no there is no written portion of the interview, just 4-6 people interviewing you all in one room and its a pretty intimidating environment so CONFIDENCE is key and btw did you get an interview letter?

Oh for real.... Do you live close to Atlanta? and your interview is today right?

Yes I live close by Atlanta. Yes I had my interview today.

I had my interview today and there were a total of 4 people interviewing me. Each person asked a set of questions (2-3). I heard many horrible stories. Including people saying they ran out of the interview room in tears. I don't know if I caught them on a good day, but my overall experience was great! The interview lasted 15-20 mins. After the interview, I met with several of the pharmacy students and toured the school. Please review the questions ziggypharmd2016 posted. My questions were almost word for word.

Good luck

Yayyyyy am glad to hear that you had a great experience and i have my interview on Monday and i pray they are in the good mood when i get there.

I have scheduled an interview for the FAMU College of Pharmacy. Do you know if the admission office will send a confirmation letter for the interview that gives you basic information about the interview? If not, can anyone tell me where should I report to first on the interview day? What do I need to bring with me (any paper work)? Interview Day Agendas (how long the interview takes)?
