I'm happy to help in any way. Here is what i found so far and will post whatever else I can find for you. This is the Admission Policy:


The criteria used by the Admission Committee include a number of factors. Major consideration is given to those applicants who demonstrate high academic standards as well as those who indicate qualities of self-motivation and promise as future pharmacists. In addition, the committee views with high regard those applicants who can function well with people on a one-to-one basis, possess strong oral and written communication skills, maturity, leadership qualities, and who have worked or volunteered in a health care environment. Academic transcripts, two recommendation forms and personal statements are reviewed carefully by the committee. Personal interviews will be required for admission. The School of Pharmacy cannot accommodate all qualified applicants.

This is if you have a post bachularest degree i believe:

Post-Baccalaureate Program

If a vacancy exists, the School of Pharmacy accepts a limited number of applicants who hold a baccalaureate degree in pharmacy (B.S. Pharm.) from a college of pharmacy accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education. Applicants are required to have earned their degree within the last ten years and have practiced as licensed pharmacists for at least 3 years. Such applicants may not be required to meet all prepharmacy requirements in order to qualify for admission, and if admitted into the doctor of pharmacy program, may be accepted at an advanced level for a minimum of two years of full-time study. Typically, admittees complete the same program as completed by Level III and Level IV students.


Pre-Pharmacy course requierments:

A minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units must be completed prior to entrance, including calculus, general and organic chemistry, biological sciences, English composition, public speaking (speech), social and behavioral sciences, and humanities. These requirements may be completed at any accredited two-year or four-year college or university. All courses must be completed with grades of C- or higher.
Grades of Pass/No Pass will not be accepted (unless a course is offered only on a Pass/No Pass basis). Candidates who have received or will receive a baccalaureate degree or who have completed units in excess of the minimum required will be considered more favorably than applicants who have fulfilled only minimum requirements.


I will give you the direct link to get the full course requierments because it's a bit much to post.It's:

This school is located at:1985 Zonal Ave. Los Angeles, California 90089-9121. Basicly it's in Los Angeles about 30 minutes away from UCLA. And if you go to the main website it will give you all the student information about life and all the other things you'd need to know. Personaly it's a pretty good school and it offers a lot . Trust me you would have a ball. I've visited before.

P.S.- I hope I helped you and I'll be happy to find out anything eles about it if you want me to
