To ensure evaluation by that date, submit pre-professional course information (entire department course descriptions;, i.e., all chemistry classes, all biology classes, etc., from the university or college's general catalog) with a letter requesting review for equivalency to the Chair of the Admissions of the College of Pharmacy prior to December 1.
