Application deadlines
PharmD applications may be submitted starting in mid-July. The review of completed applications for interview slots begins on August 1 and proceeds on a rolling basis.
As interview slots are limited, it is to your advantage to apply as early as possible. In previous years, a higher percentage of applicants who applied early were interviewed and admitted than those who applied closer to the final deadline.
