I need help about pharmacy school and admission.?

Question

There is only 2 pharmacy schools in GA. How can I pass the admission and interview at UGA because I heard the admission is very competitive. There are about 900 applicants and they only accept about 127 students. Please help! Thank you.

Answer 1

Which means you need to expand your options. You may have to apply out of state to extend your chances of making it into a program. Apply at as many as you can afford. Doing so not only heightens your choices and chances at acceptance to more than one, it also may provide you with cost benefits...it's all about the financial aid packages and the costs will vary widely...and the most expensive schools can sometimes end up costing less than your in-state schools. Some schools aren't quite as competitive as what you're finding at the U of Georgia.
I found the following in an old Yahoo answers:

Answer 2

Unless your grades are around the 3.5 to 4.0 already, you can't do much about it. The admissions test is another hurdle. Only the top scorers are considered. I think that the only way to assure an admission is to have a very high GPA, and almost max the admissions test. You already got a pretty good idea of where you stand from what I have said here.

Answer 3

I'm approaching the same dilemma bc I live in Ga and there's only Mercer and UGA to apply to- but I think you should check out South University in Savannah..they offer the pharmacy program too.
