Question for any UF Pharm student (pre-req Course code related)

I am looking to apply to UF. Compared to NOVA and PBA, I noticed they are really specific with their pre-req courses. The courses I took at my local CC match exactly with the course codes in UF admissions but I took Human A & P courses at a private university that follow a different course code. I am wondering if that is an issue. I'll call tomorrow and check but hoping someone here would know. That would really suck. 😳

Hard to say, but good luck!

Thanks! I will definitely chime in when I get an answer. Hopefully they do. The website (http://www.cop.ufl.edu/education/student-affairs/admissions/admission-requirements/) doesn't mention anything about private institutions so I am guessing it is fine. The school is accredited and all so I don't see why it wouldn't "count" as a pre-req. The reason I say this is because the they wouldn't have you finish every pre-req again after completing a BIO major in the private institution. That wouldn't be logical. I think they are just putting down the codes for public institutions because they share the same codes.

FWIW, I think you are right. 🙂

Straight from the pre-pharm advisor at UF:

Thank you for your email and inquiring about it in advance.* It will not be an issue that the course #'s do not match.* You just need to make sure that you have completed a full anatomy with the corresponding lab and a full physiology with the lab OR have completed the combined sequence which would be anatomy & physiology I with lab and anatomy & physiology II with lab.
