schools with lots of bachelor's degree holders?

[kermit12]

Do you guys know which schools have a large percentage of pharmacy students with a bachelor's degree? I mean schools that either require/prefer people with a degree or schools that just happen to have a lot of applicants with degrees. I have heard that schools in california do, like touro, but what other schools are there (both in cali and other states)?

Would really appreciate your help!

mcphs said that 60%+ of accepted students have Bachelors

I remember reading about Albany, LECOM, Loma Linda, UCSD, UCSF, Nevada, MCPHS that they have high percentage of people holding a bachelor degree or higher. I hope I remember correctly

Ohio State-100% have at least a bachelor's degree. It's required for admissions.

UCSF is almost 98% Bachelors holders traditionally....at least based on the last few years. FYI, After speaking to the admissions committee, they say it is more of a reflection of the applicant pool than their selection process! That might makes sense, since most people without a Bachelor's degree are probably scared away from applying.

i'm pretty sure USC is one of them also.

USC admission requires Bachelor degree although they don't mention it in their website.

Noone could get a 4.0-but a 3.99? That's weird, because there always seems to be at least ONE. And I wonder how many classes you would have to take to make a 3.99.

I do not think Albany has a large number of bacholers holders to be honest. Like some said earlier Ohio State probably has the highest percentage.

If you have 29/30 of your credits at 4.0 and 1/29 at 3.7 then you have a 3.99 GPA. So you could probably have as many as 6 semester credits of A- (assuming they round up).

Pacific last year was 80% - this year the percentage has gone up...

Two years in a row the visiting person from USC's school of pharmacy to the CSUSB grad fair said if you don't have a Bachelor's you may as well not even bother.

I believe the only people that do not have a Bachelor's in our classes are the USC TAPers.

I'm pretty sure that all the schools now have a majority of applicants/admits with BAs or BS's now.

They proudly display a lot of their statistical data, wish all schools would.

any others outside california? seems like those schools in cali are also some of the hardest to get into.
