PharmD Deadline Structure - for entry in summer 2025
Note: The information below refers to the 2024-25 admissions cycle, for applicants who plan to enter our PharmD program in summer 2025.
With the launch of the 2025 PharmD application on July 11, we want to share our deadline structure! In addition to a Final deadline of December 2, 2024, we also have a Priority deadline of October 1, 2024.
So what does this mean and how does it work? Let me explain...
Priority Deadline: October 1, 2024:
- We encourage applicants to use the Priority deadline as a target date when submitting your application to our program.
- Applicants who submit by the priority deadline, and whose application is verified and delivered to us by PharmCAS in a timely manner, may be invited to our December interviews.
- Submitting your application by the Priority deadline allows us time to resolve any application issues that arise. (You'd be surprised how many application issues surface. Often times, it results in a time-scramble where applicants end up running out of time to correct the issue.) Early submission allows more time to work with you in order to ensure your application is complete and ready for review!
- Submitting your application by the Priority deadline allows for the possibility of an earlier interview date.
- Submitting your application by the Priority deadline allows for more scheduling flexibility should your pre-assigned interview date not work for you.
Final Deadline: December 2, 2024:
- All applications must be submitted by the Final deadline, including: PharmCAS application submitted, ALL college transcripts received by PharmCAS, and at least three letters of recommendation received by PharmCAS.
- Applicants who submit by the final deadline, and whose application is verified and delivered to us by PharmCAS in a timely manner, may be invited to our January interviews.
When does the application become available?
The PharmCAS application launched on July 11.
Can I submit my application after December 2?
No. December 2 is the Final deadline.

Fee Waivers -- Don't Be Shy!
[Note: Beginning with the 2024-25 application cycle, we no longer require a UCSF Application Processing Fee. The only required fee is through the PharmCAS application.]
Applying to grad school can be costly.
We know that.
Fee waivers can be a way to offset that cost considerably!
Applying to UCSF School of Pharmacy is a two-part (two-fee) process -- and both have fee waiver options available!
1. Submit a completed PharmCAS application
For fee waivers for submitting the PharmCAS application, you should contact PharmCAS directly.
2. Submit a UCSF Application Processing Fee
Consider requesting a fee waiver to cover the UCSF Application Processing Fee. A little work is involved but it could certainly save you an additional expense. There are several different categories in which a fee waiver is granted:
- Verification from your current undergraduate Financial Aid office; or
- Meeting certain income eligibility guidelines as a non-student; or
- Submitting a statement of need
I've had several applicants share that they don't meet the first two options and are curious about the third (Submitting a statement of need). We have many applicants in this situation. The answer is easy -- simply complete the Fee Waiver form and submit a statement of need that includes a bit of information on your current financial situation -- and how a fee waiver would help with the cost of applying. Easy-peasy, right?
The UCSF Application Processing Fee Waiver form and instructions can be downloaded online!
