Appalachian College of Pharmacy VS University of Iowa, School of Pharmacy :):shrug: Help! I am not sure which school to pick. I have given a seat deposit for both schools, but still don't know which one to officially pick. I will be moving from Los Angeles, CA. ACP is a good school and is only...

Recently got accepted into Pharmacy School (save your critical comments for another thread, i'll read them there). My parents were born and raised in Nigeria, then came to the states for better education, so I was born and raised here (I have visited and lived in Nigeria for a fairly short...

Hey guys! First thread here. I'm taking the PCAT on 1/3/18 with only the following prereqs: Gen Chem 1&2, Gen Bio 1, A&P 1, and Microbiology. I will not have Organic 1&2 or Calculus in yet, but I have College Alegbra/Trig pretty fresh. I learned the base of organic chemistry in another...

Hey guys! So I got accepted into pharm school for this upcoming fall semester. During undergrad I was fortunate enough for my parents to pay for my tuition at a state school. Now that I'm going to pharmacy school, I have to start taking out loans. Can someone explain to me which loans to take...

I don't see anyone ever talking about my school so I figured I would start a thread. This upcoming admission cycle will be the first time UT's pharmacy school will be accepting applications through PharmCAS and taking students that aren't UT students. I'm just curious as to how many other non-UT...

So I'm about to become a Senior this Fall and had the intention of becoming a Pharmacist. Until I got a job at walgreens as a Pharm tech I realized that Pharmacists in the retail environment have it boring and aren't much different than techs besides the obvious of having the knowledge of each...

I am trying to get as many people's opinion on this as possible. So I am a junior and have taken almost all my prerequisites except for Organic Chem 1 and 2 and anatomy (The most important ones). I need to take my PCAT by october of 2017 and apply between November and march deadline if i want to...

Current pharmacy students! I'd like to get your input on which school is better! Would you choose Western or UCSD? What is the difference between these schools? And does it matter which school you go to in terms of future jobs?

I'm looking to apply to the University of Texas at Austin Pharmacy school. The only problem I have is finding a place to live that won't destroy my bank. Hopefully, somewhere that is safe and where I may take the bus to campus (I heard taking the bus is cheaper if you're going to live farther...

I need help deciding where I should go to complete prerequisites for pharmacy school. My options are PBA and FAU. PBA seems to be the more practical choice as I would go their for two years and then apply to their pharmacy school for four years. With FAU, I would be going there to do prereqs...

I had my sights on becoming a pharmacist. I'm in my 3rd year of a 6 year pharmacy program. Unfortunately last semester I failed a class that was a prerequisite for 3 other classes so I have to take them this summer. I've never failed a class before but the thing is I knew this would happen...

Fortunately, I've been accepted to both Wayne state and LECOM schools of pharmacy. Unfortunately, I have no idea where I want to go. There are pros and cons to both schools For one, I live about 10 minutes away from Wayne State and about 3 and a half hours from LECOM. Wayne state is a more...

Hello everyone, I'd like to congratulate those who got an offer for UT Austin this cycle. They must have done amazing on their interviews! Unfortunately, I failed mine. I got my result recently and I'm still a bit baffled since. So I have always heard this advice that the interview is nothing...

First off I want to say hey to everyone since I am new to these forums. To give a little background, I just graduated with my bachelors degree in exercise science over here on the east coast. My plan for the longest time has been to go onto pa school and hopefully work more in the sports...

I'm going to be an SP for NEOMED until I apply to their PharmD program this fall, and was curious to see how much, if any, help with being an SP might give me on my application. Just trying to think of different ways to set myself apart from the other kids whom I'm competing with!

I'm just wondering what the average number of hours is that's spent physically sitting in class during pharmacy school? I've found a lot on the overall time commitment of pharmacy school but I'm still curious about this. How many classes are usually taken at once and how many hours each week...

Did anyone get accepted into pharmacy school with a low PCAT score? That is the only thing I am worried about I have great grades (~3.5) and ton of pharmacy experience (~2.5 years) my PCAT is 62 However I have an interview for the pharmacy school tomorrow! So maybe I am okay?

Hello! I recently submitted my PharmCAS application and I wonder how long it usually take for schools to receive it. I'm also waiting for the supplemental application, but it says I won't receive it until the school that I'm applying to has my PharmCAS application. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am currently a first year (P1) in pharmacy school and have had to deal with an unusual financial situation I was hoping someone could help with. Before starting pharmacy school, I made sure to figure out I would be ok financially. Then, about 2 weeks before my first semester, I...

Greetings everyone, Didn't see a thread, so I thought one should be made. Did anyone get accepted? What's your status?

Hey all! I was a Pharm tech at cvs it was first job, I then worked for an independent pharmacy. I got hired in at Walmart and I almost cried every single break. They don't care about their employees and it was just a whole different world. It almost made me change my mind about pharmacy school...

Hi i'm studying for the PCAT using the Princeton Review Cracking the PCAT. In the general biology section it says that "Under aerobic conditions, therefore, the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose produces : 30 ATP" I'm confused cause when I took microbiology I learned that in aerobic...

Chances of acceptance after landing an interview with UAMS? Chances of landing interviews with other schools (Creighton, KU, Drake, Iowa?)

I'm considering UF, USF, and FAMU for pharmacy, but I'd like to go to the same school for undergrad as grad to make things easier later on. Any thoughts or opinions on any of those schools would be helpful.

I'm currently in the process of applying to pharmacy schools. My state does have a highly ranked (top 10) pharmacy school (currently where I am for undergrad) so I could attend here to get in state tuition. However, I know I don't want to stay in this state after I graduate because it just isn't...

Like current news stuff or anything important they may ask about even though it's not that current. For example, I'm sure SB 493 would be something they may ask about. How about biosimilars? I'm not very good at understanding stuff like Obama care or health care reform. This stuff was never my...

Hi all! Just a question about how important is the location of the pharmacy school? I've seen a lot of people say that pharmacy school is where you build a lot of your pharmacy connections, are these local connections super useful when it is time for residency matching? I grew up in...

Hello everyone, I am a current Biochem. undergrad student and I got into this career just because I like chemistry. I am a junior now, and I still don't know what I want to do after my undergrad. I don't even know my options. I know this is a very vague and a stupid question, but can someone...

I took the PCAT today and I did absolutely terrible. I got way below the 50% percentile. I am freaking out right now. I feel incredibly discouraged. Should I just consider applying to schools that do not require the PCAT? Right now is September. Will taking it a second time in November allow me...
