February 1 is the deadline for submitting the completed application to the University Registrar and to PharmCAS (www.pharmcas.org). Since only one sequence of the required professional courses is offered each year, admission of new students to the College of Pharmacy is limited to the fall semester. The University of Florida and the College of Pharmacy encourage applications from qualified students from all cultural, racial, religious and ethnic groups and do not discriminate on the basis of handicap in admissions or access to these programs. Admission to this College is a selective process; therefore, meeting the minimum requirements for admission does not automatically guarantee acceptance. The minimum grade point average in preprofessional science and math courses is 2.50 for admission consideration. The minimum PCAT score for admission consideration is a 50th percentile composite score. The Admissions Committee of the Office for Student Affairs will consider such factors as educational objectives, adequacy of prerequisites, student performance and academic record, motivation for scholarly achievement and a career in the profession, test data and the student's personal record. Applicants may be required to visit the College for an interview.
