They have a decent reputation, but sometimes I hear that students get lost in the shuffle with the MD and DDS students. Their out of state tuition is pretty high, they have a small class size, and living in Ann Arbor costs a fortune. The upside is that they have a teaching hospital, and they are generally ranked highly (especially when they are ranked by research $). I never applied there, but I did meet with Val Perry. She indicated that they were looking for very high GPAs and some odd classes (300 or 400 level stats, 300 or 400 level Biochem, Calc 2, etc). They didn?t require the PCAT when I was inquiring, but they would accept it if your score was outstanding. They will publicly admit that they give extra points to minority apps, and they will almost never accept community college students.
I lived in Michigan for most of my life, and it was pretty rare to run into a UofM pharmacist. I suspect they are working mostly in hospital/industry. UofM is generally regarded as a great school, so I would apply if it?s something that interests you. I knew a few students at Ferris State COP who were waitlisted at UofM. During the first week of classes, UofM called to accept them. They didn?t go. I?ve never heard of a ?B-? being accepted at UofM, but I suppose it?s possible.
