The Harrison School of Pharmacy utilizes the
Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS). This centralized service
allows applicants to use a single application to apply to multiple PharmD. Degree programs. PharmCAS collects and processes applications to
pharmacy colleges and schools that participate in this service. Applicants
who apply through PharmCAS submit a completed web-based application
comprised of biographical data, post-secondary institutions attended,
academic course history, work experience, extracurricular activities, and
a personal statement. It is the applicant’s responsibility to read and
follow all PharmCAS and institution-specific instructions. To initiate
this process please go to
www.pharmcas.org and follow the
instructions.
Upon receiving of your completed PharmCAS application, you will be
notified via email at the address you provide to PharmCAS.
Early Decision
The Harrison School of Pharmacy is a
participating school and offers "Early Decision" status through
PharmCAS. The Early Decision program is a binding
option for applicants who have decided that a particular pharmacy
degree program is their first choice and that they will enroll if
accepted. As an Early Decision applicant, you can apply to
only one pharmacy degree program.
The Early Decision application
deadline is September 2, 2009. In addition to
completing the PharmCAS application, you must arrange for PharmCAS
to receive all of your official transcripts and fee by September
2nd. If your application, transcripts, or fee arrive after the
deadline, PharmCAS will automatically change your file from early
decision status to regular status.
You may be offered early admission,
denied admission, or deferred to regular applicant status.
If you are offered admission as an Early Decision applicant, you are
obligated to accept the offer and you will not be permitted to apply
to other PharmCAS institutions. If, however, you are
denied admission as an Early Decision applicant, you may apply to
other PharmCAS institutions for an additional fee. Refer to
the PharmCAS application fee schedule to determine the cost to apply
to each additional program. PharmCAS institutions will make
admission decisions on early decision applicants by October 23,
2009.
