Additional RequirementsThe D’Youville College of Pharmacy participates
in PharmCAS, the Pharmacy College
Admission Service. Applicants should complete
the PharmCAS application, submitting
the results of the Pharmacy College
Admissions Test (PCAT, code 104), official
transcripts from all colleges previously attended,
and three letters of recommendation
to PharmCAS. Non-US citizens must also
take the TOEFL and TSE and have the scores
reported to PharmCAS.
Selected applicants will be invited to campus
for an interview. The interview process
employs a series of multiple mini-interviews
to assess non-cognitive skills important to
rendering patient-centered care. The School
of Pharmacy’s core values (excellence, lifelong
learning, cultural diversity, professionalism,
leadership, social responsibility, critical
inquiry and collaboration) are the domains
evaluated by the mini-interviews.
In considering applicants for admission to
the professional program the AdmissionCommittee will review the candidate’s academic
performance, PCAT scores, letters of
recommendation, pharmacy experience,
motivation for choosing pharmacy, and
service activities. Successful applicants will
demonstrate the ability to perform well in a
rigorous course of study, possess excellent
verbal and written communication skills, be
devoted to a life of service, and be willing to
take responsibility for their patients’ drugrelated
problems.
Performance on the personal interview will
help the committee assess the applicant’s
potential to develop into a competent, compassionate
pharmacist capable of rendering
patient-centered care.
