Abstract

Prematriculation course withdrawal was an independent predictor of both P1 success and P1 GPA. Students with less than two prematriculation course withdrawals were more likely to be successful during the first year of pharmacy school. College of pharmacy admission committees may consider prematriculation course withdrawal frequency when making admission decisions or to identify students that may need additional academic support during the first year of pharmacy school.
