0-6, 2+4, transfer?

[polanspring]

I am a high school senior and am leaning towards going into pharmacy. I can't seem to find a list of 0-6 programs and early assurance programs. Is there are difference between these two? Also, can anyone provide me with a list? Also, can anyone provide me with 2+4 schools?

Lastly, if I happen to go to a university such as Cornell University, would I be able to go to a pharmacy school after two years? Is it a good idea in the first place?

I would say just go to a 0+6 that you do not need to re-apply to the professional phase. Although if you can do well and keep up your grades at Cornell I'm sure any pharm school would be happy to have you. Just almost doesn't make sense to goto Cornell though if you are not going to finish a degree there. I guess if your really wealthy and it doesn't matter or if you are getting scholarship's to pay I'd go too though.

The following schools offer 6 year Pharm.D. programs. No prior college coursework is required. To determine if a school accepts transfer students, please visit the school's website.

Albany College of Pharmacy
Duquesne University
Florida A & M University
Hampton University
Massachusetts - Boston
Northeastern University
Ohio Northern University
Philadelphia
Rutgers University
St. John's University
St. Louis College of Pharmacy
University of Connecticut
University of Findlay
University of Missouri at Kansas City
University of Rhode Island
University of Texas at Austin (see additional details)

University of the Pacific offers a 5-year, or "2+3," Pharm.D. program to qualified first-time freshmen. They also offer a 6-year, or "3+3," Pharm.D. program to freshmen who do not meet the requirements for the "2+3" program.

The University of Pittsburgh offers a conditional admission to a limited number of high school seniors, and if the student proceeds to meet set criteria for the first two years of the pre-pharmacy program, he or she will advance directly into the professional program.

Come on now, use google.

I checked and this list isn't completely accurate. I think it's old =/

It's apart of the FAQ stickied in this sub-forum.

Some of the questions on that site are fairly subjective, so you're getting a fairly generic response. However, they do have a list on their of "accelerated programs," so you have somewhere to start.

 

[polanspring]

but are the list of 0-6 schools and early assurace schools on that site all the 0-6 schools and early assurace schools in the states right now?

for searching for 2+4 schools, do i just look at schools with a pharm school (but not a 0-6 or early assurance)?

Also, can i get into a school with a 2200 SAT, top 10percent in class, decent ECs

I don't believe 2+4 is a good descriptor. There are essentially 0+6 schools and then there are "normal" PharmD schools, where the degree takes 4 years (occasionally 3, depending on the program).

The AACP site allows you to search for schools based on this kind of criteria. The list generated in response to my search for 6 year programs:

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University www.pharmacy.famu.edu
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences-Boston www.mcphs.edu
Northeastern University www.bouve.neu.edu/pharmacy
Ohio Northern University www.onu.edu/pharmacy
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey pharmacy.rutgers.edu/
St. John's University www.stjohns.edu
St. Louis College of Pharmacy www.stlcop.edu
The University of Findlay www.findlay.edu/academics/colleges/cphm/default.htm
The University of Rhode Island www.uri.edu/pharmacy/
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia www.usp.edu/academics/collegesDepts/PharmPracticeAdmin/PharmD

This seems to be the link that might prove most helpful to you.
