Pharmacy School Rankings 2025 Pharmacy School Admissions Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average acceptance rate for pharmacy schools in 2025?

Acceptance rates vary widely by tier. Top-ranked pharmacy schools often admit fewer than 10% of applicants, while regional programmes typically admit 30–60%. AdmitBase publishes the most recent acceptance rate for every ACPE-accredited pharmacy school in the table below, sourced from AACP Institutional Research.

How is acceptance rate calculated?

Acceptance rate is the number of admitted applicants divided by the number of applications received, as reported in each pharmacy school's AACP Institutional Research disclosure. Yield (the percentage of admits who enrol) is reported separately. AdmitBase displays both metrics when available, and leaves the field empty rather than estimating one when a school reports neither.

Are acceptance rates the best signal of admission difficulty?

Acceptance rate alone can mislead. A school with a 20% acceptance rate may be easier to get into than one with a 30% rate if its applicant pool is significantly stronger. GPA medians, not raw acceptance rates, are the best predictors of an individual applicant's chances. AdmitBase uses GPA-led scoring (the PCAT was retired in 2024) to calculate personalised match scores.

How many pharmacy schools does this page cover?

This page lists acceptance-rate data for 2 ACPE-accredited pharmacy schools, refreshed annually, after the latest AACP Institutional Research disclosure becomes available.
