Important dates

Dalhousie says general Fall 2027 applications open October 1, 2026. Its current Pharmacy application page still shows the completed February 1, 2026 deadline and March 14, 2026 interview date, so those dates are not carried forward. The requirements page refers to a February 1 transcript deadline, but the programme has not yet posted a complete Fall 2027 application and interview schedule. current university admissions information

How selection works

Dalhousie ranks applicants first on academic performance. The current requirements page assigns 60% of the total review to academics and 40% to the interview, with the highest-ranked academic applicants invited onward. official admissions information

This is an interpretation of the published programme structure, not an admission prediction. official admissions information

Practice and next step

Record a first response to the linked fair-access scenario. Review whether you identified the competing needs, asked for missing information, applied a consistent principle, and communicated the decision with empathy. Choose one weakness, make one deliberate adjustment, then record a second response and compare it with the first. The linked CASPer Essentials path is optional structure practice; it is not presented as a school requirement.
