Does anyone know if schools will consider you even if you don't have all the prerequisite coursework done? I have most of the prequisites, except for 1 or 2 and I probably won't be able to get them in. Any help would be much appreciated! 🙂
 
Are u being accepted ? i think most schools, at least in CA, they require all classes before the school starts, otherwise u can defer ur acceptance to next year
what classes are u missing?
 
i was accepted to a school that somehow didnt get my latest transcripts, and from their point of view, i was missing over 5 prereqs. it was a 'conditional acceptance' of course.
 
You will have to have them all done before you start pharmacy school, hence why they are called pre-reqs. But for most schools you have until spring or summer before you start school to finish them.
 
at my school, you didn't have to have everything completed before interviews/acceptance but you must have all pre-reqs completed before you actually start classes.
 
depends on what schoos you apply..Some need you to finish ALL by Spring but at some schools you can finish 1, 2 classes over summer, just make sure you complete ALL before starting pharmacy schools...
 
thanks guys!! that definitely helped. going to rearrange my schedule so i can get those courses in.
 
I would venture to say that almost everybody applies (at least their first time) without having everything completed. I don't know of any school that would not consider you for admission without the prereqs completed as long as you can reasonably complete them before the class starts.
