There are plenty of What are my Chances: Texas posts for the medical student boards, but I'm not finding anything useful for pharmacy students.
The stats for admission for Texas pharmacy schools are interesting. TSU, one of the better ones has a reasonably OK average acceptance GPA at around 3.7, with average PCAT at a respectable 85th percentile. UT Austin, the premier school in Texas, has one of the highest averages.
So, does anyone know what the chances of getting into Texas schools are for residents and non-residents? What do they specifically look for that may be different than schools in other parts of the country (United States)?
Here is a list from the What are My Chances thread of various situations that you can take a whack at for determining applicant viability for Texas schools:
Post #9: Very low GPA, great PCAT, many years pharmtech experience
This one got accepted to a Colorado school, but how would he fare in Texas?
Post #1028: Low GPA, OK PCAT, almost no pharmacy experience
It's my post! I'm a resident, but how would I do in my own state?
Post #21: Decent GPA, Great PCAT, Some pharmacy experience
Would obviously get in if they were a resident, so assume for out of state purposes
Post #82: Low GPA, competitive PCAT, deft of pharmacy experience, Research experience
Seems like a somewhat average to below average candidate for graduate studies in their field (Biology), but would these stats land an interview for a Texas institution?
Post # 1048: Decent to good GPA, Crippling PCAT score, A little bit of pharmacy experience
A decent candidate for California schools, since they don't use the PCAT, but how much does the PCAT score matter in Texas pharmacy schools?
With these in mind, I posit you, the community, with determining what the likelihood of getting into a Texas school is and try to determine, if not outright state, what schools in the state generally and perhaps specifically look for.
