Hi, is anyone looking to apply to LIU Brooklyn - Pharmacy in Fall 2019?

Am I the only person frightened to take my PCAT? I live in New York, and my test day is on July 18th. I'm so frightened, I feel like I've studied a lot, but nothing is retaining. If you have any tips of how I can overcome this burdening fear, please comment below! It would be much needed; much...

Hey guys! So I'm planning on taking the PCAT for the first time in July and have a few questions. Even if you don't have answers, feel free to post your own opinions to my questions or any other questions you might have about the upcoming PCAT! 1. When did you first take the PCAT? I've been...

Just wondering if anyone heard back from Northeastern Pharmacy school？ I had interview two weeks ago, probably it is the last round, but I didn't find too much info about class of 2022. Any input?

I'm from Alabama and the only 2 pharmacy schools in my state are Auburn and Samford. I'm currently a Senior, graduating class of 2018. I haven't decided what I wanted to be/do. I already got accepted into college and got some scholarships. I'm a very nervous/anxious person. I always doubt...

I am very fortunate to have been accepted to a few different pharmacy schools, however I am having a tough time making a decision and am looking for some advice. Right now, I am deciding between ACPHS (Vermont Campus), LIU and SUNY Buffalo. I'm evaluating these schools based on cost of...

I've been trying to compare these two great schools but would really like the community's input for the pros and cons/ experiences from each college. I am an out of state applicant to both schools. It would be my first time at both locations. My goal is to get into an inpatient residency and...

How long did it took for your PHARMCAS app to get verified? I submitted mine on December 27, 2017 and it finally reached COMPLETE status on monday after one of my transcripts finally arrived. Will taking so long hurt my chances at getting into pharmacy school??

I was just curious about the ideal resume and GPA to getting accepted by pharmacy schools? What type of volunteering or internships, etc. should be on my resume? Also how many volunteer hours and how much experience (jobs, internships, etc.)? What is the lowest GPA accepted by most pharmacy...

I was accepted into Concordia's pre pharm to pharm program, but decided to go to Madison instead for undergrad. Is it a good idea to try and transfer back and avoid taking the PCAT or try Madison or MCW. Another factor in my decision is what each school prepares one for, I would like to be...

Hi, I'm takind the PCAT soon and I have about 6 weeks to study for it. I do not know if that will be enough time to prepare for the test! I bough dr.collins prep, can you please tell me the best way to study and plan my time using dr.collins? I will be studying for about 7 hours a day. would...

Hello, I wanted to know what the best study materials are for the pcat? I heard about dr. collins, perarson and kaplan. I was going to buy dr. collins but my friend took her september pcat for 2017 and she said it really didn't help her as much as people said. I have heard this from other...

Hello, I was wondering if it looks bad if I take the human physiology prereq at a different university for my pre-pharmacy courses as an undergraduate. The reason I am thinking about taking it at another university is because I have already went to the course at my university and the same...

Hello! I am in my first year of pre- pharmacy school and I hate it. I did poorly on my first chemistry and calculus exams. I'm really struggling to adjust to college and I don't know if pharmacy school is worth the stress. I have read about the saturation in the pharmacy job market and I am...

I am a student at St. Johns (6 year PharmD program). I am a freshman, but I don't want to waste my summer and I wanted to look into a pharmacy internship. Do pharmacies or any companies accept interns, or when should I look to get an internship (what year).

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...

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...

How do you guys do it? I mean how to do maintain a decent gpa and do research? What are the time demands for the research? Also, would research be good to have for applying MD non PhD? Honestly, I know people say don't check boxes but I'm not lab savvy at all and I honestly dislike labs...

I've been thankfully accepted to the two pharmacy schools I wanted to be in, however it's a tough decision deciding which one I should go to... As a person with little slow learning capabilities what would anyone recommend, even though of course pharmacy school is still a challenge. Thanks!

Depending on the area you live in, finding a pharm tech job may be easy or close to impossible. A few years ago when I decided on pharmacy, I remember the drive I had to find a job in a pharmacy as a tech, heck even as a volunteer or a shadower. Bottom line, many applicants overlook the...

Hello! I need some advice. I spent my first two years at a community college where my cGPA is approximately a 3.3 overall.I then transferred to a university were I did not do so well. I kept getting C's after C's and I lost hope in ever becoming an A student. I got a 2.4 and 2.5 in Orgo 1 and...

Hello SDN, This is my first post so please bare with me. I'm currently a high school senior holding a 3.67 GPA with an unimpressive 1180/1600 SAT through my first 6 semesters. I plan on retaking the SAT this coming month as I was horrendously unprepared the first time I took it. The first...

Stats: GPA is 87 (3.3 on the 4.0 scale) SAT: 1,070/1600, but retaking. Took college forensics (though I don't know how that could help me in pharmacy) No AP classes Interested in: MCPHS, LIU Brooklyn (2+4) and that's pretty much it. Let me know which other ones you would suggest. If you don't...

So I originally signed up to take the PCAT this January but after some time, got worried that this may be too late for applying to pharmacy schools, especially since those I am interested in have rolling admissions. So I am now signed up to take the PCAT in 4 weeks...even though I feel VERY...

Hey guys. I'm currently a sophomore doing public health as my major. I so far have a 3.75 gpa and a PCAT composite of 92. I am currently a pharm tech trainee (at cvs) working 20 hrs a week but I should be a licensed tech by thanksgiving. My only real contributions to the community post high...

Hi, so far I have taken my first bio course and I dont know weather to continue with bio and take microbiology which is in the 200 level or start taking gen chem 1. should i save microbiology and anatomy with physiology later? I am going to kind of be in my sophmore year in the fall I took...

I submitted mine on 8/15. It still hasnt been verified. I figured it was still early and they would only take a few days to verify. It has only been 1 week though. Has anyone sumbitted their apications in the month of august and been verified yet? Or does anybody know how behind they are on...

I've been hearing about how pharmacy is very saturated and graduates come out with no job offers. While this information is not new to me, I cant help but wonder if this is a national thing or just regional/state. Where I live (Maryland) there are always openings for pharmacists and it's not...

Hello, so far I have taken my first bio class and I did good but I had to study so much and I wasnt even full time. My problem is I have to relisten to every lecture and it takes me so long because I pause and write down everything and I can't miss a detail because the tests are VERY specific...

I looked up a few timelines and most are three year pre-pharm programs that say study for the test year 2 and take it year 3. I'm a freshman and classes start tomorrow. I have six semesters here and I'm off to pharmacy school. When do I take my test and when do I apply for colleges? Should I...

Hello everyone! I just finished Spring classes and am now completely free for the summer. I know some of you will suggest simply relaxing or spending time with family before Pharmacy school starts, but I think I'll have time for a little bit of everything. :) So, current pharm students, what do...
