How selection works

South College considers academic preparation, the complete application and recommendations, small-group participation, and individual interview performance. official admissions information

Interview details

Confirmed

Selected applicants participate in a small-group interview day and an individual interview with one or two interviewers. Interviews may be virtual or on campus; virtual sessions are synchronous. official admissions information

Not published

The school has not published all Fall 2027 interview dates, total interview-day duration, group exercise details, question types, scoring weights, or format-assignment rules.

Who this program may suit

This programme may suit applicants seeking an accelerated three-year PharmD with a choice between Knoxville and online hybrid delivery and who are comfortable with group and individual interview components. 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.
