Upon submission of all required application components, the complete file and applicant profile will be reviewed by the CoP Admissions Committee. At said time, the committee will decide to invite the candidate for an interview, place the candidate on hold for further review, or reject the applicant. All candidates who are invited for an interview will be contacted via mail and email. After the personal interview, the applications and interview scores are presented to and reviewed by the Admissions Committee for final admissions decisions.

Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT)

The PCAT is required for applying to the College of Pharmacy. The University of Hawaii at Hilo College of Pharmacy will not accept any other admission test in place of the PCAT.
