<p>I work in the financial aid office at a school with a pharmacy program. While the last 4 years are considered the professional phase, the first 2 of those are still considered undergrad in a 6-year program. Students still get Pell, and we still give undergrad scholarships. Each school can have its own rules for undergrad scholarships, of course, and you would have to read Pitt’s rules … but I would be surprised if they limited the undergrad scholarships for pharm students to only 2 years.</p>
<p>This is a quote from the FAQ page of the Pitt Pharmacy school:
“Our program is at an undergraduate level for the first two years, and a graduate level for the last two years.”</p>
<p>Yes, QuietType, pharmd programs begin professional phase in year 3 of a 6-year program. But a student who does not have a prior bachelors degree may still be eligible for undergrad aid like Pell … and the school may still allow a student to use its undergrad scholarships for another 4 semesters. I searched the Pitt website but could not find a definitive answer. Guess we’ll have to wait for the first conditional pharmacy admit who receives a scholarship offer to report on the terms! :)</p>
<p>Kelsmom - That’s what my quote is saying - Pitt considers years three & four of the six years total to be undergraduate, not graduate. (even though those two years are done while the student is ostensibly in the graduate school of Pharmacy) Only the last two years of the six are billed and classified as “Graduate” school.</p>
<p>For FULL TUITION you need a 33/top 5%, you can get a $2,000/$10,000 scholarship with ACT 32/top 5% though it’s not guaranteed. 31 is on the edge, I’d say at that point GPA is very important.</p>

<p>General Comments:
Probably the only out of state school I want to go to and most likely will go to. Acceptance letter was postmarked October 6 and scholarship letter was postmarked November 23 (6 weeks apart!). Acceptance letter received two weeks after postmarked date and scholarship was received today. I thought I wouldn’t get this scholarship since most people got it within two weeks, had much better test scores and received it before they got the academic portfolio. So if you haven’t received a scholarship within two weeks, there’s still a chance for you. My SAT score doesn’t seem high enough to getme the scholarship, so, for ACT, I would think 32 is the minimum for full tuition.</p>
