PS Your personal statement should be an essay, clearly and concisely written, articulating your educational and professional pharmacy goals. You are limited to approximately 1 page (4500 characters, including spaces). The personal statement is an important part of the application process because it can add a dimension that cannot be obtained from transcripts, application forms, or recommendation forms. A well-written personal statement is an opportunity for you to convey a more complete view of who you are as an individual. Include your background and past experiences that relate to the professional pharmacy program. The Admissions Committee is looking for evidence of commitment, motivation, and compatibility with the goals of our professional program. (Please see PharmCAS Instructions for further detail.) GPA Although there is not a set minimum GPA requirement, it is highly recommended that applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA in the math and science prerequisites and have a composite score at the 60th percentile, or higher, on the PCAT in order to be considered competitive. Fee Complete and submit your online application. You will be asked to provide a valid credit card for payment of the application fee ($75) when you submit your application. RL Two recommendation forms are required as part of your application and are available as part of your PharmCAS application. At least one of the two recommendations must be from an academic professor or teaching assistant. Transcript You must submit transcript(s) of all collegiate work completed to date, including a UConn transcript and official transcripts for work completed at other institutions (including college courses taken during high school) through the fall semester. It is strongly recommended to submit your official transcript during the fall semester and then update once it becomes final, so not to miss important deadlines. Any applicant who has completed coursework at an international university or college MUST have their foreign transcripts evaluated by one of the foreign transcript evaluation services. DO NOT send foreign transcripts directly to the School of Pharmacy.
