Updated application info for 2013-2014 is posted on the College of Pharmacy website. Make note of the August 1 “Early Consideration” deadline.
Also, we’ve created a video version of our application workshop! If you missed our workshop this spring, or don’t live near Corvallis, this is a great way to find out more about applying to the Pharm.D. program. Feel free to post questions on Formspring after viewing!
PharmCAS just announced that they are extending all November 1 application deadlines to November 15 due to the severe weather on the East Coast. This applies to OSU applications. OSU supplemental applications will also be due November 15 rather than November 1. Please contact the College of Pharmacy if you have any questions.
Just a few more days until our November 1 deadline! Make sure to e-submit your application, get all your transcripts and references to PharmCAS, and get your supplemental applications to us by the deadline.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about whether it is okay if PharmCAS is still “processing” your materials on the November 1 deadline.
That is okay. However, you should make sure that you e-submit your PharmCAS application by November 1. You should also make sure that PharmCAS receives all your transcripts and letters of reference by that date. Finally, your supplemental application materials must arrive at the OSU College of Pharmacy by that date.
The November 1 application deadline is only about three weeks away!
A quick tip as you prepare your PharmCAS applications – PharmCAS operates on Eastern time. You must submit your PharmCAS application by midnight Eastern time (i.e. 9 p.m. Pacific) on November 1 for it to be considered on time. Obviously, all your supplemental application materials must also arrive at the College of Pharmacy on November 1.
Oregon State’s deadlines for Pharm.D. applications for Fall 2013 admission:
These are received-by deadlines, meaning that all your materials need to be received by that date. It is not a postmark deadline. PharmCAS needs to receive your transcripts, letters of reference, and so on and OSU needs to receive the OSU Supplemental Application materials.
