University of Illinois at Chicago Pharmacy

[s13]

I contacted University of Illinois at Chicago Pharmacy and asked them what their average gpa and PCAT score was for admitted applicants last year but they said they don't release those scores. Does anyone know if this is a relatively easy or hard school to get into??

check the stats provided at www.aacp.org under student/application section

The AACP site has the mean gpa and other data for students entering in Fall 2003.

The PharmCAS site has a little bit of demographic and school information from the Fall of 2004 admissions.

Expect that type of run-around from them every time you call. They were, by far, the rudest college that I've ever spoken to. I never even submitted my application.

I agree with whoever said it was the rudest school they've spoken to. I went there for undergrad and it was the worst. One of the counselors actually said to my friend "what do you want now?" I applied there for pharmacy school, and everytime I would follow up I would either get the run around or some rude lady telling me to call back next week. I'm glad I'm at Midwestern and don't have to deal with them anymore.

Oh come on guys, be nice. That's my school your talking about Nah, the people at UIC weren't the friendliest during the admissions process. But I must say that they make you feel welcome once you are in. I like it here. But than again, I am a Chicago girl, so I am used to that "big-city" attitude. Chicagoans are not the most happy-go-lucky people in the world.

chitowngyrl, since Illinois at Chicago Pharmacy wouldnt tell me what kind of gpa/pcat score is needed to get in, could u tell me what u had to get in? thanks

 

[mindstAt]

uw-madison pharmacy average cum. gpa was ~3.75, math and sci avg was ~3.9. that was for entering class of 03'. dont recall what the pcats were.
thats strange your schools dont share that info with you. uw gave me a list of the last 10 years statistics on entering classes, no hassle when i asked for it. go figure.

btw s13 = silvia?

I heard a rumor during the interview process that they were projecting the average pcat for matriculants to be in the 90th percentile.

Sure, my scores were PCAT = 93 and GPA = 3.6. I will see if I can find out what the official average for my class was for you. I don't see why they wouldn't tell you that kind of information. But I'll find out for you.

I talked to an admission counselor (Miss Fleming) at UIC yesterday, during the PharmD application workshop. These are some of the statistics for this years class: 160/1500 applicants got accepted, a total of 330 were called for an interview, the avg PCAT score was 80th percentile, and surprisingly the average cumulative GPA was 3.1. If anyone wants to know more about UIC, they offer this workshop frequently. If you go under UIC's pharmacy website and click under news and events (I think), or something close to that you can find when they offer the next worksop.

Yeah I've heard 90% and up is good for UIC. I've even heard of some girl with a 93% not getting in.
