Most Pharm.D programs don’t require standardized test scores for admission. The USC School of Phamarcy’s Pharm.D program is one such program. The average GPA for an admitted student to the USC Pharm.D program for 2008 was 3.5. For a list of the average GPAs for students who matriculated to Pharm.D programs in the US click here ([AACP](<a href=“http://www.aacp.org/site/view.asp?TRACKID=&VID=2&CID=377&DID=6863]AACP[/url]”>http://www.aacp.org/site/view.asp?TRACKID=&VID=2&CID=377&DID=6863)</a>).

<p>I’d say admission to any pharmacy school is generally considered competitive. Just do well and show interest in the field. Good luck!</p>
