PCAT Guidelines Effective for Fall 2014 admission to the PharmD professional division There will be no minimum PCAT score required for students applying for admission in Fall 2014. The most recent PCAT score (composite score and writing score) earned by a student will be used for admissions purposes, regardless of the number of times the student takes the test. For applicants applying for admission to the Fall 2014 PharmD class, PCAT scores obtained prior to July 2012 will not be considered. This two-year time limit will continue in subsequent years. It is recommended that students take the PCAT after the PP1 coursework is completed, ideally no earlier than September of the PP2 year. However, July testing prior to the PP2 year is available for those who wish to take it then. If additional fall test dates are offered, no PCAT score will be accepted from tests taken after December 1 of the year prior to admission. The cumulative GPA, science GPA, essay score and PCAT composite and writing scores will be used to determine interviewees. Contingent admission students who are concerned that they will not meet the 3.5 GPA requirements for admissions will be advised to take the PCAT. Students may wish to consider taking a practice test. There is an online practice test available for a nominal fee from PCAT publishing company, Pearson. For information on the PCAT and practice test, visit the PCAT website at pcatweb.info Register Early! For fall PCAT test dates, registration opens in March. UT’s School Code is 051. PP1 = pre-professional year one PP2 = pre-professional year two
