Question about EFC from FAFSA

<p>Why are you applying for pre-pharm tracks when you’re already in college? Can’t you just take your prerequisites at the CC, then take the PCAT and apply to pharmacy schools? Btw, many of the west coast PharmD programs require a BS prior of their PharmD applicants. This adds several years and thousands of dollars to the cost…and there is no longer a shortage of pharmacists in most of the country so it might be wise to hold your debt to a reasonable level.</p>

<p>Butler doesn’t give merit scholarships to pharmacy applicants, even as incoming freshmen and their COA is over $40K a year. I don’t know how many transfers they accept but my guess would be very few since they were, until recently, a 0-6 program. IIRC, there’s a table on aacp.org that gives some stats on accepted students and transfers. If not, you can probably glean a good amount of that info from the posts on the Student Doctor Network’s pre-pharmacy forum.</p>
