So this 6 year program is 2 years of pre-pharm and 4 years of pharmacy school, correct?
I am confused as to if you meet the pre-pharm requirements, are you automatically accepted to their pharmacy school?
Or do you still have to apply to the pharm school with everyone else?
Thank you!
The answer is NO ! You will not be automatically accepted into their pharmacy school unfortunately !
In general, you still have to apply like everyone else during the 2nd semester of your 2nd year pre pharmacy, write your PCAT, going through interview. The school will also look at your GPA and compare yours (PCAT, GPA, interview, work/volunteer experience in pharmacy …) with the rest of the applicants pool.
Thanks for the answer!
So I would not be able to apply to the TAP program if I was in the 6 year program?
From the USC website, even their TAP program does not guarantee admission to the USC pharmacy school. You would have a better chance, but still have to go through the application, interview, PCAT process after your pre-requisites are complete (or the semester before completion.)
