How the Arizona rate is worked out

Arizona publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030: 312 applications received, 143 enrolled. 143 divided by 312 is 45.8%. Source

The school does not publish how many offers it made, so this counts students who enrolled. The share offered a seat is somewhat higher, because some admitted applicants go elsewhere.

We only use numbers the school posts on its own site. National PharmCAS and AACP tables count applicants differently, so they are left out, and so are PCAT averages, since the PCAT was retired in January 2024.

What Arizona asks of applicants

  • Overall, science, non-science and prerequisite GPAs must each be at least 2.5, and 2.75 or higher is strongly preferred. Source
  • 62 units of prerequisites done by June 1 of the year you start, each with a C or better and no pass/fail grades. Source
  • Prerequisites finished more than seven years before you enroll may expire and need to be retaken. Source
  • The college says it no longer considers PCAT scores. Source
  • High school students can apply to the PharmD Early Assurance Program, an accelerated path into the PharmD after two years of undergraduate work at Arizona. Students need a 3.0 science and a 3.0 non-science GPA after their first year, then still file PharmCAS and interview in the fall of their sophomore year. Source
  • Tuition, program and mandatory fees run about $34,000 a year for Arizona residents and about $56,800 for nonresidents. Source
