Do you know the process?
Do you have to apply for admission like a pre-pharmacy student?
Transferring from 3-year school to a 4-year school after the first year. How does it work?

Which Schools accept transfer pharmd students?

I am just asking.

thanks.

Not really sure...but I do know that a lot of schools don't accept transfer students.

I don't think that any of the CA schools do. Are you thinking about transferring? Honestly, any school that you'd want to go to probably doesn't accept transfers.

That's simply not true. However, you must have an EXCELLENT reason to do so (UCSF is a better school is not a valid reason).

Generally, the procedure works like this.
1. Contact the Assist. Dean of Students or full Dean of both colleges and detail your plans.
2. Applications are generally truncated in this instance.
3. Hardship transfers are universally accepted between the AACP schools.
4. For academic transfers, it depends on grade, status, and space available at the incoming school.

This only works for didactics. In the clerkship portion, you should have already worked this out. Transferring is unusual, and in general, student lose credits by doing so. My class has two from St. Louis, and we lost two to Creighton's online program, and Worchester.

I contacted some schools and most of them do not accept transfer. I was considering doing transfer for tuition costs only. Creighton University does accept transfer students but it is more expensive.

No, they actually will if you follow the steps above. AACP mandates hardship transfer. Tuition is not considered a good reason to transfer.
