The PCAT may be required for any applicant at the Admissions Committee's discretion. We do not compute an average PCAT score for applicants because not every applicant will take the test. However, a strong PCAT score can significantly enhance an application file. A composite percentile score above 70 is preferred. If you take the test, please be sure to have a copy of the score report sent to our office.
Recommendations are an extremely important criteria as well.
We suggest selecting as references individuals who are well acquainted with the applicant in an academic or employment setting. Two recommendations are required. Additional ones will be reviewed. Pharmacy work experience is encouraged. A student who has chosen a career path without investigating the environment and characteristics of the vocation may be perceived to lack interest and initiative.
