How the KU rate is worked out

University of Kansas School of Pharmacy does not post how many people apply, so we don't give a rate and don't estimate one. What it does publish is its class size: 113 students. For schools that do publish applicant counts, see the table of pharmacy school acceptance rates by school.

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.
