The Bulletin doesn't mention any restrictions of your number of years completing the 5-year pharmacy curriculum at the time of graduation. You should check with NABP.

However, if I had the authority, you would face a hard time of either giving a valid reason of that 9 year gap or accepting a rejection. Honestly, come on, 9 years??? It's unbelievable and questionable how your school can even allow that.

believe me. I had my reasons and also I have been trying in the past three years to get back to the pharmacy program but I couldn't even though my GPA is 3.82 but now, I will graduate in May from a major university in USA and I will have a degree in a biological science major and also a minor in chemistry, and I already have passed the TOEFL once in order for me to get accepted into the University. So do you think that I have to take it over again, if I took my degree from my country? Thanks again for your help and your reply

So you've been spending these 9 years to obtain 2 majors from one of the US universities?

Now you plan to go back for that 5th/final year, which should have been completed 9 years ago, to obtain the pharmacy degree?

Your case is complex. Go ask your pharmacy school; they're supposed to know the requirements. Or contact FPGEC directly http://www.nabp.net/ftpfiles/bulletins/FPGECAppRegBulletin.pdf. Read it yourself.

I don't have the answer.
