Has anyone else looked at UW Madison's supplemental app? They make you put in your pre-req course work info AGAIN and it looks like they want you to submit a second personal statement type thing...

I guess you also have to take anthropology and ethnic diversity as pre-reqs...I had assumed I had done most possible prereqs already.. and will not have time to take those classes

I'm sad I just wasted $50 submitting my pharmcas app to them...even though it was my own fault for not looking into it first. So I wanted to give others a heads up
 
I remember that from last year. That supp was a PITA.

Someone told me last year that they were pretty new to pharmcas, and their supp was pretty similar to their non-pharmcas app, which makes sense. I sucked it up and filled it out, but I already knew about the anthropology/diversity requirements. The seeming randomness of pharmacy school pre-reqs drove me to making a spreadsheet so I could keep track of it all!

Check the website. You may not be out of the $50 yet. You would be able to fulfill both requirements with a single course if it meets the requirements for ethnic diversity.

If you have your schedule planned perfectly for the next year I can understand that the single course wouldn't fit.
