<p>The requirements for conditional acceptance is 1300 SAT, 680 Math Section, top 10% rank. These do seem a bit low for a pharm program...</p>
<p>Does anyone know about how many students are accepted through conditional acceptance each year? How many actually make it into the pharm program after 2 years?</p>
<p>My son was accepted with Conditional admission and he was top 5% and had 1420 SAT’s. We sat down with a rep from the school of Pharmacy back in November. From what we understood they only offer about 64 students the conditional admission and a total of 108 are accepted into the school each year after the first two years in the School of Arts and Sci or transfers. Are you applying for fall 2011 or 2012? From what we’ve learned…timing is huge for Pitt admissions in general. The earlier the better. </p>

<p>There are 54 slots designated for conditional acceptance students each year in the Pitt Pharmacy program. This is 50% of the 108 seats in each admitting class into the School of Pharmacy PharmD program. This past year, probably 40-45 of the 108 P1’s were conditional admission students.</p>
<p>Applying early for the conditional acceptance program is the key.</p>
<p>i just attended a pharmacy application meeting for those applying for the pharmacy school in the fall of 2011. each year, there are 108 seats available.
the most recent class had around 54 conditional and i think 51-ish matriculated?
and the year before that, 48 out of the around 54-ish conditional matriculated.
my advice is to apply as early as possible because they only give out 54 seats in conditional per year and it’s rolling.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the info! Does anyone know how many students are conditionally accepted into prepharm?</p>
<p>It is 54 students each year. Or do you mean something else?</p>
<p>does anyone know how many apply each year? or an acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Yeah, I meant the number of people who apply each year…poor use of language</p>
<p>I guess…I don’t really know. But there are a lot of pitt students who are interested in pre-pharm. My guess is that they just look at the stats of the incoming freshmen who indicated a interest in pharmacy by checking the box on the application and give out conditional status on a first come first serve basis to those who qualify until all 54 are gone. </p>
<p>In terms of applying to pharmacy school after your first two years as undergrad, I think about 800 apply for the 108 seats? Of course, the 108 includes the 54 conditional students.</p>
<p>Not all the 800 applicants for the open seats come from Pitt. There are a large number of students who apply from elsewhere. The vast majority of the pharmacy class of 2014 were Pitt undergraduates, of course. I think about 10 - 15 of the class came from other undergraduate schools. By the way, the actual number of students in the class of 2014 is 109 - one larger than the stated norm of 108.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if anyone tracks or posts statistics as to the number of high school seniors who apply for the conditional admissions program. But when all the 54 or so seats are filled, that’s it for that year.</p>
<p>Just some news we heard this weekend while we were visiting Pitt. After your fourth year (second year of Pharmacy program) - they will be awarding a BS in Pharmaceutical Science and then of course the PharmD at the end of six years. You don’t have to take any extra classes, you just receive it and can participate in graduation etc. I think it’s a great idea if for some reason you had to delay your last two years or if you decide to go on another path, you at least have your BS in hand.</p>
<p>@Titanmom16 - just saw this last post of yours. Did not realize my daughter can actually have the BS degree as part of the program and that we’ll go to a graduation at that time. So question for you, does your son feel part of the UPitt college community now that he’s in his 3rd year (I think that’s what you mentioned in another thread)? How is the social life, etc., as opposed to the other students at the university that will be ending at 4 years? I’m just curious if the PharmD students segregate themselves apart or are they still able to join frats/sororites, clubs, join in to other things, etc.</p>
<p>My DS really does everything a normal Junior would do, except that all of his classes are now in Salk Hall. He goes to the Football games, basketball games etc just an any other student would. He also plays intramural sports and is in a club that is related to the Honors college. He has never lived with any Pharmacy students–not intentionally–it just turned out that way when he made friends Freshman year. He does live with mostly science majors, so he did take a lot of the same classes the first two years like Organic Chem, Biology, etc. He’s made friends in the Pharmacy program, and is joining a couple of the organizations within the program so I’m sure he’ll make more along the way. Also, they assign a P2 to every P1 and he contacted him over the summer to answer any questions he had. I would imagine he’ll end up living with other Pharmacy students after P2 unless some of his current roommates stay for grad school, which is entirely possible.</p>
<p>One big difference between P1 and being in another program as a Junior is that when you enter P1 they just give you your schedule, you don’t select your classes. The entire P1 class is together for the large lectures, and then small groups for Practicums, etc. He likes his schedule as he starts at either 9am or 10am and is done Thursdays and Fridays at 1pm, so it’s been a positive thing. The other thing is that he has to dress up (shirt and tie) every day. In February, they have a white coat ceremony and I believe they’ll wear that most days from then on. That of course is VERY different than a regular Junior

<p>A note on Salk Hall–it’s being renovated right now, and they are adding a large addition. Be sure to try and take a tour when you visist. Here’s a youtube on what they are working on: [Dean</a> Kroboth Introduces School of Pharmacy Building and Renovation Project. - YouTube](<a href=“Dean Kroboth Introduces School of Pharmacy Building and Renovation Project. - YouTube”>Dean Kroboth Introduces School of Pharmacy Building and Renovation Project. - YouTube)</p>
<p>I still think it’s a great thing that they give you a BS after four years as it gives you an option if you decide to go down a different path instead of getting your PharmD.</p>
<p>TitanMom - I just tried replying to your message - I only have a few posts so I wrote out this whole response to you and could not send a personal message. I would love a copy of that newsletter - if you could scan to signingteam@******** that would be great! As soon as I can send you a personal message, I will. I appreciate your response to me, and yes, we are Giant fans! I’ll be in touch. Thanks again. Gotta go post some more, so I could go “personal” on this website.</p>
