I was just wondering what the age distribution is for pharmacy applicants here on SDN ...
edit: btw, its an anonymous poll for all you shy people out there.
26...27 in March 🙂

27+ here.
+1
No way. I'd be dead by 27+Dang, I should have made this poll more extensive with age + retail/clinical/research aims... getting more curious. If I had to guess, probably most are aiming for retail pharmacy(?)
KMIMS, I am in the same boat you are! I'm 22 but older people always think I'm fresh out of high school (or still in it). I cut my hair so I'd look a little older at least.
look on the bright side. at least you can be a cougar and not look it.
25 human years and like what 10000 potato years

Not a drop-out, but I was originally pre-med. Pharmacy (as a path) seems to be more family-friendly.
LOL

SAME HERE! 🙂
..turning 22 in March!

if you are 25 years or older then you are one

Will be 25 when school starts
25 but people always think I'm a teenager. People look at me in disbelief when I tell them I'm a mom! 😱
Probably retail (I know, it's BS) but it seems like retail offers the most flexibility in work schedule, at least in my area because they are so short on pharmacists.

Hi! I'm actually 29 right now and will probably celebrate my 30th birthday during the first week of pharmacy school in August (if I am accepted this cycle)! No one ever believes me when I say that I have 3 beautiful daughters aged 13, 2 1/2, and 1, because they say I look too young to have 3 children. 19 is the guess I usually get, and I say thanks! =) I also have one more baby girl on the way, due in June! I currently work as a tech in the busiest Walgreens in the East Bay Area and it so far has not deterred me from wanting to do retail... However, I'm hoping that during rotations I'll be able to fall in love with another aspect of pharmacy and pursue whatever my heart desires then! Good luck to us all! 😛
Never even considered pre-med.
Screw that rotation business.

I'll be 32 when I start pharmacy school this fall. I'm married, no kids, and am certainly no pre-med dropout...I'm a recovering bench researcher. Publications and lab audits just didn't cut it anymore for me.
I was still target practice for al-Qaeda when I was 25😱
Glad you made it out.
I'm 22 right now; will be 22 when the school starts (IF I GET INTO ONE PHARMACY SCHOOL..😀....😀....)
I'm only twenty.
