Quick facts

Admission requirements

Complete the published prerequisites with grades of C- or better. Applicants without a bachelor's degree complete 54 prerequisite credits; degree holders complete 39. Pacific recommends 2.7 science and last-45-credit GPAs and requires PharmCAS, a personal statement, and two references. official admissions information

Important dates

PharmCAS lists March 1, 2027 as the priority deadline and June 1, 2027 as the enforced final deadline for both pathways. Pacific's page separately displays June 30 for final handling, so applicants should create and submit through PharmCAS by June 1 unless the school confirms otherwise. Review is rolling. current PharmCAS directory

How selection works

Pacific reviews academic preparation, written materials, references, and interview performance. Selected applicants complete an interview before a final decision. official admissions information

Interview details

Confirmed

Pacific requires an interview and describes in-person and Zoom formats. The interview assesses programme knowledge, verbal expression, and personal and professional qualities. official admissions information

Not published

The school has not published Fall 2027 interview dates, length, question format, interviewer count, scoring weights, or format-assignment rules.

Who this program may suit

This programme may suit applicants comparing accelerated and extended pacing within one school and who value an interview option that may be in person or online. 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.
