Pre-Pharmacy students are those who identify themselves as such, formally or informally. Western does not offer a “Pre-Pharmacy” major, and there is no formula for getting into pharmacy school. Selection committees evaluate applicants across multiple areas through a holistic review process. Important components include GPA (both cumulative and science/math), letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, community service, pharmacy awareness, diversity awareness, Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) scores in some cases, an interview, and background checks (including legal, conduct, and social records).

Pharmacy schools emphasize the importance of a liberal arts education and do not recruit students from one specific major or discipline. This gives you flexibility in planning your educational program. Use your undergraduate years to explore many academic fields, to develop basic skills and knowledge, to demonstrate expertise and to experience a field of study (major) of your choice. Align with a major in which you both excel and enjoy. While Biology and Chemistry are popular choices, Pre-Pharmacy students have majored in a diverse range of disciplines including Anthropology, Behavioral Neuroscience, Business, Kinesiology, Languages (i.e. Spanish), Literature, and self-designed programs. Some pursue combined majors such as Biology/Anthropology, Biochemistry, and Cellular & Molecular Biology.
