| Additional Requirements | Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the College. The number of students admitted each year depends upon the availability of resources for implementation of a quality educational program. Admission to the College is made through the Office of Admissions in the College of Pharmacy and PharmCAS, a centralized admission process through AACP. All students must submit a supplemental application to UK and send PCAT scores and transcripts of all previous college coursework to PharmCAS. To be considered for admission, applicants must have a 2.5 GPA out of a possible 4.0 in at least 70 semester credit hours of prepharmacy coursework. Early application is encouraged six to eight weeks prior to established deadlines. A rolling admissions process is utilized and review of applications begins in September. Applications for admission are reviewed and evaluated by the College’s Admission Committee on a comparative and competitive basis. Applicants judged to be the most qualified are invited for personal interviews and then final selections are made. Criteria used in judging the applicant’s qualifications include demonstrated academic and professional achievements, an assessment of communicative skills, integrity, commitment, dedication, motivation, character, maturity and emotional stability as determined by letters of recommendation, the applicant’s formal letter of application and personal interviews. The applicant’s PCAT score and pre-pharmacy coursework GPA are values used by the committee in judging the applicant’s academic qualifications for admission. Letters of recommendation and the applicant’s formal motivation letter stating their reasons for selecting pharmacy as a career and tentative professional goals also are considered. Applicants receiving the highest ratings by the committee are invited to the Lexington campus for a personal interview. Priority for admissions of nonresidents will be given to those who have exceptional qualifications of academic excellence. Background checks and urine drug screens at the applicant’s expense are required. The University will accept credits earned by College Level Examination Program (CLEP) only when the specific subject tests are taken. The general CLEP test is not accepted. A letter grade is recorded on the transcript if a grade is awarded. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate credits are accepted per requirements set by the UK Office of the Registrar. |
