Primary Application Process and Deadline (PharmCAS)

The Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) is the centralized application service for Western University College of Pharmacy. PharmCAS offers a web-based application service which allows applicants to use a single application and one set of materials to apply to multiple PharmD programs. Western University's application deadline to apply to PharmCAS is November 1. All application materials must be complete (including TOEFL scores) and submitted to PharmCAS by the November 1 deadline. Applicants who do not submit all application materials by the deadline will not be eligible to continue in the admissions process. It is your responsibility to follow PharmCAS's instructions. Failure to do so may delay application processing and you will be inelgibile to continue in Western University's application process. It can take approximately 4-5 weeks for PharmCAS to process application materials and forward to Western University. Submitting materials early will ensure timely processing and help avoid delays.

For more information regarding PharmCAS, visit their website at www.pharmcas.org.

Supplemental Application Process

In addition to the PharmCAS application, Western University requires applicants to submit a supplemental application along with an application fee of $65. All accompanying documents may be printed from this web page. The supplemental application packet is due November 1. Applicants who do not submit all application materials by the deadline may not be eligible to continue in the admissions process. The minimum required GPA is 2.5 overall and 2.5 sciences. A final evaluation will be completed upon receipt of your PharmCAS and supplemental application. Western University is not responsible for delays in mail delivery. We strongly encourage you to apply early.

Depending upon the number of applications received, interviews may be conducted on a rolling basis. The College of Pharmacy would review completed applications, conduct interviews and make admissions decisions throughout the admissions cycle.

Please be sure to read the Supplemental Application Process and Checklist completely before beginning your supplemental application.
