How the Ferris State rate is worked out

Ferris State publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2026: 272 applicants, 109 enrolled. 109 divided by 272 is 40.1%. 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 Ferris State asks of applicants

  • Two academic years (4 academic semesters) of pre-pharmacy coursework, with applications through PharmCAS due June 1, 2027 alongside transcripts, a personal statement, a Kira Assessment, and two recommended letters of recommendation (the PCAT is not required). Source
  • Applicants with a science B.S. get a course-by-course review to see which pre-pharmacy requirements they already meet. Source
  • Ferris runs the Guaranteed Early Admission Route (GEAR), which gives strong high school seniors and pre-pharmacy college students pre-admission into the PharmD program and reserves a seat for 2 to 3 years while they maintain a 3.0 science and math GPA (with at least a C- or 1.7 in each course), and applicants who apply before the January 4, 2027 priority deadline receive a $3,000 Priority Scholarship. Source
  • Professional program tuition averages $34,901 a year, the same for Michigan and non-Michigan residents, while undergraduate pre-pharmacy tuition is approximately $14,420 per academic year for U.S. and Canadian residents and housing and dining run approximately $9,000 to $13,000 per year, per the college's current program facts page.

The Ferris State pharmacy school interview

After PharmCAS verifies an application, the Admissions Committee invites selected applicants to an invite-only admissions interview with faculty and students, offered in both virtual and face to face options on the Big Rapids campus. Decisions typically arrive within 2 weeks of the interview under rolling admissions for the 120 seats, and the admissions office also offers virtual appointments for questions about the program and the application process.
