Anyone applying to Purdue...or anyone in their PharmD program? How competitive is it (I'm an Indiana resident)?

I am applying to Purdue! I'm out-of-state though so I don't know if my chances of getting accepted are very good

Hi, I'm a P1 in the professional program at Purdue so I just went through the admissions process last spring.

Dean Mason has a slide show on the school's website that outlines the admissions process. The address is:
http://www.pharmacy.purdue.edu/academics/pharmd/admissions.pdf

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them if I can. I am a HUGE fan of the school and the people in it, and I'm having a great time so far!

I don't know too much about it except that it has an average of around 3.5, doesnt require pcat, and isn't on rolling admissions. I think I read somewhere that if you're out of state, it's preferable that you have ATLEAST the average. Anyone know anything else?? Like location, classes, etc.?

myroswar, Thanks a bunch! This was very helpful-- one question I have is about the interview- something about a video recorded oral communication exercise? What is that like? I've never heard of any interviews including that before.

Hi there, glad I could help!

Don't worry, the oral exercise sounds much scarier than it really is!
You just go down to a room where there is a video camera and you read a writing passage for about a minute while the camera rolls. It's really a low stress experience.

Thanks for the heads up! I know it's to assess your ability to communicate clearly, but it still seems kinda weird.

I'm out-state as well... I heard it's pretty tough to get in as an out-state. Any tips on how to improve your chances?

Couple volunteerings while in college

volunteering- approximatly 30 hrs this semester and over 100 in high school
shadowing opportunities- shadowed a couple times at both walgreens and arnett hospital.
