I'm interested in applying to their pharmacy school for Fall 2013. What do they generally look for in term of pcat scores and gpas and if you have experience does that count for them? Thanks!

I just started my second year at Temple Pharmacy and definitely encourage you to apply. I've loved the school so far and have had a great time in the process. My composite PCAT was a 95, so I was probably good anywhere I applied, but most of my friends that I've talked to have been in the 60-70 range, which seems competitive at most places. My undergrad GPA was around a 3.6, but like with the PCAT scores, I have friends who weren't much above a 3.0. If you get an interview, let me know and I'll make sure I volunteer to lead the tour that day and say hello.

Congrat for getting an interview! If you don't mind, could you tell your PCAT score and GPA?
I took September PCAT and got 53 composite due to the low score of verbal and reading... (<20) So I took another exam a few days ago and got 60 percentile with still bad English score. I guess my GPA will be around 3.7. Should I wait until the November score is released, or is it okay to apply with my September score?
Congrats on the interview! Could you share your PCAT score and GPA?
Interview Nov 16th
I had my interview on Nov. 16th and got accepted today as well! Congratulations, maybe we will be future classmates.Just got accepted!!!
Congratulations !! Can you please share your stats on acceptance?Just got accepted!!!
Got accepted but I don't think I will attend this school. Good luck to all of you
What was ur stat
I'll be at the Temple Uni. for interview on Monday Dec 3. From CA
Ahh I can't wait any longer! I interviewed on Nov. 26th and i still haven't heard back yet. How long did it take everyone to hear back from the interview?? This is my top choice and I thought the interview went really well, but I thought the acceptance would come sooner.
I am confused... I thought Temple conducted all of their interviews in February and March... I must be missing something here.
In response to the OP:
A few things about Temple that people should know.
- Temple loves applicants who hold an undergraduate degree
- PCAT score >60 will get you an interview
- If your grades aren't that great and you have a ton of work experience on your hands (3 years +), you will definitely get an interview
- Temple favors their own but will not admit it. If you are a graduate of Temple University and have a decent PCAT score (>60 COMP) and GPA (>3.0), you are guaranteed acceptance even if you have no work experience or EC.

All my TU friends who applied to TU Pharmacy got in. Some of them didn't deserve it based on their grades and their habits. I also know a bunch of out-of-state applicants who applied but didn't get in who had a lot more to show for and deserved a lot more then some of the TU applicants that I know.
Stats of lowest TU Applicant that I know who got in (Entering Class of Fall 2012):
PCAT: 44 COMP
GPA: 2.5
Undergrad Degree: Yes (Biology) awarded by TU
EC/Work Exp: None
References: (I'm not really sure if they had references but I will assume none)
I thought they interviewed late too, but maybe we're doing really early admissions this year?
I think we saw you guys on tour today. Good luck and lemme know if you have questions!
unfortunately I got waitlisted does anyone know the chances of actually getting accepted?
