Student reviews

Professors

College student

To have a chance at getting into the PharmD program, you need to go through early action. Never use regular decision if you want the school to even think about putting you into the PharmD program. Otherwise, the school accepts a lot of people to the PharmD program. There's about 300-400 students in the program with me in my first year, but it's predicted that half or more of them will leave buy the third year.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

First of all, the school is so nurturing. You can first witness that through meeting admissions counselors. They're SO SWEET, actually care about you, & show that the COLLEGE cares about you. I met the counselor at a college fair & from there, we instantly clicked! She followed up w/ emails, letters, interviews and super friendly greetings when I went to the open house.
