WesternU-College of Pharmacy participates in the Early Decision (ED) process through PharmCAS. The Early Decision process is a binding option for applicants who have decided WesternU Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program is their first choice. This is an opportunity for you to secure your seat in the class early. If accepted, you are obligated to accept the offer and will not be permitted to apply to other PharmCAS institutions. If you are not accepted to WesternU through Early Decision, you can apply to other pharmacy schools through the regular PharmCAS admissions cycle.
The application deadline for Early Decision applicants is September 3, 2019. All application materials required by PharmCAS must arrive on or before the September 3rd deadline. In addition, WesternU supplemental application and all required documents must also be received on or before September 3, 2019. Admissions decisions will be made by October.
For detailed information on the Early Decision process, please visit the PharmCAS website.
The first step is to submit your primary application to the Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS). It can take approximately 4-5 weeks for PharmCAS to process application materials and forward them to us. Submitting materials early will ensure timely processing and help avoid web congestion delays.
You may submit your secondary application online, then follow-up with the additional documentation outlined in the secondary application checklist below, by the application deadline. The first time you sign in, click “first time user account creation” below the login boxes and select the appropriate program application from the drop down menu then select “Fall 2020” for term of entry.
Please review the checklist carefully to ensure that you submit all required documents in the appropriate manner along with your secondary application. A final evaluation of your prerequisites will be completed upon receipt of your PharmCAS and secondary application.
