In order to be eligible for admission, a student must:
- Complete 90 semester hours of required course work at an accredited
institution. Courses in the pre-pharmacy curriculum are not offered at UT
Memphis.
- Achieve a grade of "C" or higher for each required pre-pharmacy course. The
overall academic average for all courses completed must not be less than 2.5 on
a 4.0 scale.
- Complete the national Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT)
with a minimum composite score of 40th percentile and individual subject area
score of not less than 25th percentile. Applicants with below minimum PCAT
scores will not be interviewed. The minimum composite percentile is not a
competitive score. The national average composite score is 50th percentile and
the average accepted student is 80th percentile. The Admissions Committee
strongly advises applicants to take the PCAT in the Fall prior to the year of admission.
This give you time to take the test again in January if you believe that a
re-take will significantly improve your score. To apply for PCAT testing, write,
call or visit the PCAT website (online registration at the website begins July
1, 2004):

- Complete a personal admission interview with a College of Pharmacy
representative (by invitation only).

NOTE: These are minimum acceptable
requirements. Admission to the College is very highly competitive, and
successful candidates for admission will generally present credentials
significantly higher than the minimum requirements.
