It all depends on your GPA. The Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT) is optional for applicants with a 3.0 prerequisite GPA or higher. If your prerequisite GPA falls below a 3.0, we recommend that you take the PCAT to strengthen your application.  Learn more here: https://www.wingate.edu/academics/graduate/pharmacy]]> 2019-09-21 14:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/l_williams4/h9uzs7sqj99n/wish/387574319 https://padlet.com/l_williams4/h9uzs7sqj99n/wish/387574326 Are students allowed to have cars as a freshman ?

Like all universities, we would love for every student to end up with a degree, but we know that isn't possible. Our graduation rate of 53 percent is actually higher than expected. In a group of 10 regional universities (Wingate, Campbell, Gardner-Webb, UNCC, Queens, Stetson, Belmont, Samford, App State and Elon), Wingate leads the way in exceeding expected graduation rate. Wingate’s rate is 10 percentage points higher than what should be expected, based on a number of factors, including our Higher Education Research Institute profile and Pell rate. It is also worth noting than 88 percent of Wingate graduates finish their bachelor's degrees within 4 years. ]]> 2019-09-21 14:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/l_williams4/h9uzs7sqj99n/wish/387575567 https://padlet.com/l_williams4/h9uzs7sqj99n/wish/387578378 What Are The Requirements For The Dance Team ?

Yes, we have added more parking over the last few years to accommodate growth. However, that does not mean there will always be an open spot next to your residence hall or classroom building. Most Wingate students walk or bike from their room to classes and other activities and leave their car parked unless they are leaving campus.

Tuition and room and board vary from year to year. The tuition increase over the past few years has averaged about 7 percent a year. However, room and board cost decreased this year, helping to offset total costs. What  concerns most families is the out-of-pocket portion which they owe, not the total tuition before financial aid is applied.

90% of our graduates go on to some form of graduate school, either research based or clinical programs. The vast majority of Wingate grads who apply to med school are accepted. Keep in mind that many students who come to college believing they want to be doctors change their plans partway through, opting for a different healthcare career or even choosing a major outside of the sciences.

Also, do the teachers want the students to pass? Do they actually care for the students? The pace of learning varies from class to class and is subjective. What one student may feel is too fast could be just right or even slow to another student. Professors do want students to pass and will give advice and point them to free resources such as tutoring and supplemental instruction. It is then up to the student to use these resources.
