PharmCAS One Year Later: Applications Up Significantly
excerpted from AACP News, Volume 35, April 2004
By Elisabeth J. Ross
PharmCAS has enjoyed a successful first year of operation, with the volume of pharmacy school applications exceeding projections in the AACP business plan. PharmCAS member schools report more applications received, efficiencies gained through use of the service, and greater geographic diversity in applicants.
By March 15, 2004, there were 21,914 individual PharmCAS accounts created in the system for 43 participating colleges and schools, which include 24 public institutions and 19 private institutions. Of the nearly 22,000 accounts, nearly 14,000 submitted a completed application to PharmCAS and paid the appropriate fee. The average PharmCAS application to applicant ratio was 3.2. The AACP business plan projected 10,500 paid PharmCAS applicants and an average applications to applicant ratio of 3.0.
The increase in pharmacy applications may reflect a higher ratio of applications per applicant as well as growing interest in the profession. There were 25,546 PCAT registrants in 2003 as compared with 15,042 in 2002, which reflects a 70 percent increase in the number of test-takers.
