Reactions to controversial changes to the admissions process of the Doctor of Pharmacy graduate program at Drake University prompted an evaluation of information given to this year’s sophomore pre-pharmacy class by Pharmacy administrators.
“(College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences) Dean (Raylene) Rospond is going through the process of a critical review of communications sent to the sophomore class,” College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences senator Ben Urick said.
This year’s sophomore class is the first to go through the Drake PharmD Difference program, which has new requirements including an interview, writing assessment and PharmCAS application in addition to the previous GPA and coursework requirements.
Students received e-mails informing them whether they were preliminarily accepted, placed on the waitlist or denied admission to the professional program on Friday at 4:23 p.m.
A Q&A session with Rospond and sophomore pre-pharmacy students will be held in Medbury Honors Lounge tomorrow at 5 p.m.
Please check Thursday’s issue of The Time- Delphic for full coverage of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences decision.
