Supplemental Application

Note to applicants applying for entry in fall 2011

If you are applying for entry in fall 2011, you may review the information below for informational purposes only, but do not use these forms for your application. If you do, you might be ineligible to be considered for admission. Fall 2011 Supplemental Application forms are expected to be available in July 2010.

The Supplemental Application collects information that PharmCAS does not collect but that is required by UCSF to complete our comprehensive process of evaluation. To complete it, you need:

You must download, complete, and print our electronic forms, then submit them through regular post (e.g., U.S. Postal Service).

  1. Complete the forms.
  2. Checklist: Prepare the forms for mailing.
  3. Submit the applications.
  4. After submitting the applications.

Deadline: You must e-submit your PharmCAS application on or before midnight Eastern Standard Time on November 1, 2010. You must mail all components of your Supplemental Application so that they are postmarked on or before November 1, 2010. Late applications will not be considered under any circumstances.

We strongly encourage you to plan a schedule to complete your application materials in advance of the deadline. Technical difficulties with the Supplemental Application will not exempt you from the November 1, 2010 deadline.

Submitting Transcripts

You are required to submit copies of your official transcripts (sometimes also known as "marks reports"). Some transcripts must be sent to PharmCAS, and some must be sent to UCSF. For details, see Checklist: Transcripts.

Submitting Letters of Recommendation

Do not confuse transcripts with applicant recommendations. All letters of recommendation are submitted electronically through PharmCAS -- do not deliver these to UCSF.

International Applicants

If you're an international applicant, see Information for International Applicants for other considerations you should be aware of before you submit an application. If you're not sure if you're an international applicant, see Residency.
