Personal Profile & Essay Form
This is a required supplemental portion of the application that must be mailed to the College of Pharmacy
Office for Student Affairs.
Campus Ranking Form
This is a required supplemental portion of the application that must be mailed to the College of Pharmacy
Office for Student Affairs. The College of Pharmacy admits students for enrollment in the Fall semester
among four different campus locations: Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, and St. Petersburg. Students
do not apply for admission to a particular campus. The Campus Ranking Form allows applicants to
request their campus choice by ranking all four campuses in order of preference. Approximately 130
students are placed at the Gainesville campus, and 50-60 students are placed at each of the other three
campuses. The Admissions Committee determines campus placement by considering preferences,
reasons, and resources. Although the Admissions Committee attempts to place students at their preferred
campus, there is no guarantee that admitted students will be placed at their first campus choice.
