Let your people hype you up. 📝
You’ll need two letters of recommendation from folks who really know you — people who can speak to your academic strengths, communication style, problem-solving mindset, involvement in activities, work/volunteer experience, and what makes you you.
A rec from a professor or pharmacist isn’t required, but it’s highly recommended.
No matter who you choose, they’ll need to complete the official PharmCAS rating form — that part’s a must.
Got more than two people who want to vouch for you? Go ahead and submit them — we’ll review all recs you include. Just make sure your first two hit our requirements before adding extras!
