Latest Pharmacy School Ranking?

[Yazdi990]

I would think that it depends more on the individual than the school. If you go to a low-ranked school, yet are motivated, get good grades, and network well, then you will most likely have an advantage over someone who attended a better-ranked school and didn't put forth as much effort.

A school with a better reputation might be more helpful with networking and rotations, but it still comes down to the individual student.

This is a funny question. I do not think the deans spend as much time filling out the rankings as you give them credit for. Of course I could be wrong, how would I know?

True. We are actively debating something which we have little insight into. Quite frankly, I only believe a dean would have the proper insight.

Good point owle.

If the rankings mean something to those who are doing the hiring, then it matters, regardless of whether or not the ranking system sucks.

Make sure you pick one of the 30% that actually responded.

Hey: 30%. That's an objective number! And it's one that makes me not give much weight to the rankings.
