School of Pharmacy Admissions Application Procedure
Individuals interested in applying to the LECOM School of Pharmacy must complete a PharmCAS
Application and a LECOM School of Pharmacy Supplemental Application. All applicants must complete
the PharmCAS application in order to access the LECOM School of Pharmacy Supplemental
Application.
PharmCAS
PharmCAS (www.pharmcas.org) is a centralized application service
that allows applicants to use a single application and one set of official transcripts to
apply to multiple Pharm.D. degree programs. Applicants must designate the LECOM School of
Pharmacy Erie Campus and/or Bradenton Campus as the selected pharmacy institution(s) on the
PharmCAS application. The PharmCAS application deadline for LECOM School of Pharmacy is March 1,
2010.
LECOM Supplemental Application
LECOM requires all applicants to submit a
LECOM Supplemental Application. Once LECOM receives the completed PharmCAS Application, applicants
will receive an e-mail message providing information and instructions to complete the Supplemental
Application. The e-mail message will include a username and password to access the secure LECOM
Candidate Portal to complete the LECOM Supplemental Application and submit the $50.00
non-refundable application fee. Payment of the $50.00 application fee is required at the time you
submit your application. The submission of the LECOM Supplemental Application should only take a
few minutes to complete and we encourage applicants to complete the process as soon as
possible.
If you apply to both the Bradenton and Erie campuses you must indicate your
primary and secondary choice on the supplemental application. Decisions regarding your secondary
choice will not be made until after decisions have been made for your primary choice.
Applicants are evaluated on academic performance in the prerequisite courses, interest in and
adaptability to the profession of pharmacy, and an on-site interview. Applicants being considered
for admission will be invited for an on-site interview on a rolling basis between November and May.
Acceptance offers to the LECOM School of Pharmacy are made on a rolling admissions basis.
Applicants are encouraged to complete their applications as early as possible to receive early
consideration or an interview. Applicants selected for a personal on-campus interview will be
notified in writing from the Office of Admissions. Applicant interviews will be conducted November
through March.
The deadline date for submitting the LECOM School of Pharmacy
Supplemental Application is March 16, 2010.
