APPLICATION TO PHARMACY SCHOOL
A year in advance of pharmacy school admission, a student must complete the application and take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). The PCAT tests knowledge of biology, chemistry, mathematics, reading comprehension, and general academic ability. The test is offered four times a year, with registration beginning in early spring—the test can only be taken five times. Most successful applicants to pharmacy school have accumulated a year or more of work experience as a pharmacy technician before entering pharmacy school.
