Pharm School Requirements

[luckystar]

Hello all,

My friend will be applying to pharmacy school this summer (for the class starting in 2004). What exactly are the requirements for admission? Is there a standardized test she should take? For some reason, I thought that there was something called a PCAT, that I heard from another person thinking of going to pharm. school, but my friend has never heard of it. Thanks for any info you can give!

California pharmacy schools do not require the PCAT.

Each California pharmacy school has its own unique set of pre-requisites. Please see:

UOP: http://www1.uop.edu/pharmacy/index.html

UCSD: http://pharmacy.ucsd.edu/

UCSF: http://pharmacy.ucsf.edu/

USC: http://www.usc.edu/schools/pharmacy/index.html

Western: http://www.westernu.edu/cp.html

Loma Linda: http://www.llu.edu/llu/sps/

I hope this helps and best of luck to your friend.

You're awesome, BMBiology! Thanks so much for the info.

I didn't know that each school had it's own set of requirements. My friend is leaning more towards east coast schools, but she can do her own research on that. I'm glad that I wasn't imagining the whole PCAT thing 😀

Thanks again!
