I've heard from so many people that it's super-competitive. For example, I go to STJ with undecided major and thought of changing to Pharm Major since they had a college of pharm, but these guys only accept incoming freshmen, and no trasfer students because they have straing 6 yr program.
A college of pharm staff spent 20 mins explaining how tough their admission process is, claiming 200 spots out of supposedly over 2000 applicants. Less than 10% is indeed quite competitive, but when he furthur clarified the SAT range of accepted applicants, he mentioned their "savvy" students had between 990~1300. To me, that's not that savvy at all. And infact, I don't wanna sound like I'm boasting, but I have better SAT score than their top 10% pharm freshmen.
So my question is, how competitive is it really for transfer students to enter Pharm D program after completing 2 years of Pre-Pharm course. In other words, is it really quantity or quality? What's the middle range score of PCAT?

For those straight 6 year programs, they have very limited spots for transfer students. You need to be the top of the top to get in. A GPA of close to 4.0, PCAT 95+, and preferably already have some connection to the college. SAT scores play no role.
For 4 year programs, which most of the programs are, the situation is different. To be competitive a GPA of 3.4-3.5 and PCAT 75+ will be good.
My pharmacy school has an acceptance rate of about 11%.
PCAT is a percentile exam. Your score is your percentile.
