Applicants! What do you think is the hardest part of applying to pharmacy school? Please consider the actual application process only, not taking classes. Answer the poll and post an explanation below of why.
My answer: Asking for letters of recommendation. I have this natural aversion to asking for help, it makes me feel like I'm needy. Plus, a lot of the advisors/professors I worked with...I haven't really kept in touch over the years =( I hate when other people out of the blue ask me for favors, so I assume the same.
But then once I get over that and get the letter...I don't feel so bad. It's just the build-up and getting the guts to ask is tough.
