If you are interested in getting into a pharmacy school in Texas you should try to at least find out of all of the pharmacy schools in the state of Texas. Why? This way you will have more options. As of this writing, none of the pharmacy schools in Texas participate in Pharmcas. This is the central service application processing unit, where for a fee, depending on how many schools you apply to, will send out your application to the schools of interest for your behalf. It is similar to AMCAS, the central application processing unit for pre-med students who are applying to medical school. Below are the pharmacy schools in Texas:
1) Texas A&M University - Kingsville School of Pharmacy
2) Texas Southern University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
3) Texas Tech University
4) University of Houston College of Pharmacy
5) University of the Incarnate Word School of Pharmacy
6) University of North Texas School of Pharmacy
7) University of Texas College of Pharmacy
So as you can see, there are a total of 7 pharmacy schools in the great state of Texas. There are plenty to choose from. You might want to take a look at the school's website for pharmacy school requirements and other requirements needed in order to apply to get into the school.
Now the 3 Big Tips in applying and hopefully getting into any one of the 7 pharmacy schools in Texas are:
1) I can not stress this enough so I am going to repeat it. Do everything early.
2) Be knowledgeable of the application process
3) Never be scared to call up the various pharmacy schools for information or advice. The longer you wait to get important information, the lower chance of your acceptance.
