First-year

Current high school students, including those with college credit, or high school graduates who have not attended a college or university should apply as a first-year, or freshman, applicant. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, which means applicants should receive an admission decision within a few weeks after Wilkes receives all materials. SAT or ACT scores and official high school transcripts are required. Students interested in the guaranteed-seat doctor of pharmacy program should apply as early as possible in their senior year. Application deadline for this program is Feb. 1.
