Application and Admission

There is no centralized application service to schools of pharmacy. Schedules are highly variable from school to school. The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is usually required.

Most of the 83 colleges of pharmacy require the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Assessment (ACT) for Admission. 44 colleges also require or recommend the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT).
