Newer schools.

The newer school, the more lenient they are (generally).

That said, I won't be naming any names just yet since those tend to turn into flame wars. =P

Search around this forum, there's a lot of threads talking about this.

Your friend shouldn't be overly focused on getting into the easiest school - more focus on maximizing her profile (grades, PCATs, EA's, enjoying life and not stressing out) so she doesn't have to worry.

HICP. ...as long as you can write a check for $35K, you're golden.

(Don't anyone accuse me of 'hating'. You all know that this is a FACT!)

LECOM - confuse them into thinking they have already accepted you. judging from their admissions staff, i'm sure this is very easy.

The best way to get into a school is to apply early. I know a guy to get in with a 2.75 GPA at UOP.

Stay positive ...and if you have the money apply to a lot of schools to increase your chances.

Would anyone say South University or FAMU are easy schools to get in with sub 3.0 gpas ?

Where do I start? UCSF, UT-Austin, UNC, Temple are at the top of my head right now. I'm sure all pharmacy schools are easy to get into so it doesn't matter where you apply, as long as you have a pulse.

 

[kristakoch]

Here's my question goheel, have you applied to pharmacy school at all? THey really are not easy to get into, very very competitve, some more than medical school. Pharmacy schools usually only let in around 120 people per year, instead of 200+ for med school, and there are 1000 people applying per school every year. SO, basically, no it's actually quite hard to get into.

he is being completely sarcastic. UCSF, UT-Austin are the toughest and the most prestigeous pharmacy schools in this nation in my opinion.

Oh yeah...South's 3.4 average GPA makes it much easier to get into!

UF applicant/admittance ratio seems very low at 3:1. Anybody know the 2004 stats?

They have a 3-year program right? Does South require a PCAT?

I'm so happy you put that in here. I've been looking all over for that little galloping green guy, South. Some how putting "galloping green monster" into my google search didn't yield much He's saved on my hardrive now

I looked at U of SC's stats - I make up 25% of their out-of-state students (that's my class' stats). It has stayed pretty much the same the last 2 classes with the exception of the accepted:applicants ratio - I believe that has increased.
