To be considered for need-based scholarships, admitted students must fill out the FAFSA and KGI Need-Based Aid Application. Additional information can be found by clicking here.

• How many students are accepted each year?

  Estimated entering class size each year is 50-60 students.

• Do I need to take the PCAT, TOEFL, or any other standardized tests?

  No, the KGI PharmD program does not require the PCAT, TOEFL, or any other standardized test for admission.

• What is Early Decision?

  Early decision is no longer offered as an option in PharmCAS. Applicants are encouraged to apply early in the admissions cycle to ensure that scholarships are still available and there is still room in the class.

• What is the status of my application?

  Once your application is verified by PharmCAS, the Admissions office will begin the review process. If the Admissions Office determines that you qualify, you will be sent an invitation to interview via email.
