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:

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?

i was wondering if i can get some help from people who have been accepted to the purdue pharmd program.
i recently transfered to purdue from an out of state school as an undergraduate and am now in the pre pharm program. i REALLY REALLY want to get into the pharm D program, but dont want to waste my time if i stand no chance.
gpa-about 3.5
volunteering- approximatly 30 hrs this semester and over 100 in high school
shadowing opportunities- shadowed a couple times at both walgreens and arnett hospital.
any advice on what I can improve? or if I'm set?
