2016-17 Updates This is the question that your experiment answers

Fall 2016 Update The regular decision deadline date is still March 1st. We will continue to use the multiple mini interview format (MMI) and a holistic admissions approach to selection of students. Students are located only on the HSC campus for the first 3 years of the pharmacy program. In the fourth year, students may choose to do their rotations based out of the OKC area or out of the Tulsa area.

Fall 2017 Update The PCAT format changed in July 2016. There is no longer a verbal ability section. Instead, there are more reading comprehension type of questions on the biology, chemistry and quantitative ability sections. PCAT scores from prior exams have been re-normalized. This means someone’s score could have gone up or could have gone down so applicants should check the Pearson website to ensure their PCAT score is still competitive. We still accept PCAT scores taken within 3 calendar years of the desired entry year and still use the highest score for admission. For Fall 2017 admission, all pre-requisites must be completed at a U.S. college or university. For Fall 2018 admission, applicants must either be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents at the time of application. An updated comprehensive application guide is available on our website in PDF format.
