Do I still need to submit a high school and college transcripts from institutions I attended some time ago?

Yes, you must submit your high school transcript and all college transcripts no matter how long ago you finished high school (whether in the US or outside the US) to the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy and to PharmCAS.

However, if you are lacking three or more general education perspectives, it is very important that you speak with our admissions manager to plan summer courses prior to enrolling in the PharmD program.
