Early Admission Program FAQs

Can I apply to the EAP more than once?

No. Application to the EAP can be made only one time – during your senior year of high school.

How important is pharmacy-related experience on my EAP application?

Although it is not required, it is recommended that students interested in pursuing an education in pharmacy gain experience in the field. This is especially true for students interested in the EAP. Health-related classes, job-shadowing, volunteering, working in a pharmacy and informational interviewing are some excellent examples of ways to gain experience.  If admitted to the EAP, students will be required to accrue healthcare-related experience prior to entering the Pharm.D. program.  

Do Honors/AP/IB classes help my application?

Doing well in rigorous high school courses is a beneficial asset to your EAP application. However, Honors/AP/IB courses are not required for admission to the EAP.

Are weighted GPAs considered?

Yes. Weighted GPAs are considered as part of the EAP admissions process.

My GPA/SAT score/ACT score doesn’t meet the minimum requirement. Can I still apply?

Applicants who do not meet the minimum criteria will not be considered for admission to the EAP.
