FAMU school of pharmacy 2015

[HopefulRx14]

Soooo I'm thinking about applying to FAMU. They don't require the PCAT (which is awesome) but I've also heard that makes it harder to get into. Does anyone have any information on the application process? GPA??

Yes. I'm waiting on my transcripts to arrive.

When do they start reviewing applications? I'm going to try to send all my things together (application, transcripts, evaluation forms etc)

 

[PharmDMcStuffins]

I think that they review applications as they are submitted.

I asked a friend today and she said they don't review applications until after Feb 1st... I'm not sure though

I think they wait for the pre pharmacy (0-6) students to be reviewed and then transfers

Ok do you know how long they take to review the pre pharmacy students?? I heard they start reviewing applications like maybe January or February with interviews starting in March.

Yea I've heard that is the timeline , deadline is the 1st I believe pre pharm gets looks then the rest. In previous years there has been a decline in prepharmacy students therefore clearing space for transfers ,a friend from last cycle told me that and I also saw it on previous app cycle treads ! Good for transfers lol anybody in pre pharm there ?

I heard they are thinking about doing a rolling admissions this year. And yes I've heard they accept progression students first and then transfers. Is it hard for transfers to get in??

 

[AshleyDP15]

I have heard mixed reviews . I guess it all depends on how many pre pharmacy student they have ....did u hear Rolling admissions from admin?do you have any idea on the number of applicants ?
