Getting in: A Practical Guide to Pharmacy School Admission

Pharmacy is one of the hottest growth professions. Every year, thousands of people apply to schools of pharmacy, hoping to win a coveted seat. What determines who is admitted and who is disappointed? GETTING IN gives you insider perspectives on how to prepare to submit a successful pharmacy school application.

Amber Ault, Ph.D., a sociologist with experience on pharmacy school admissions committees, and Kajua Lor, Pharm.D., a recent pharmacy school graduate, pay special attention to what you need to know based on who you are, culturally, and where you are right now, academically.

Whether you're in high school, college, or a career change process, whether you come from a majority or a minority background, whether you're a first-generation college student or hoping to be a fourth-generation pharmacist, this book offers useful insights, examples, and worksheets that will help you understand what pharmacy schools want and strengthen your chances of "getting in."
