0+6 Pharmacy schools

Out of all these 0+6 pharmacy schools, I was wondering, what's the major difference between them? Some of them are harder to get in than others, but does it really matter which one I attend in the end?

Please tell me if you know of any schools below with great programs. I need to start weeding out some choices, since I won't apply to all of them...

Also, I've heard that these early assurance programs are very competitive. What's the average SAT score and GPA?
I'm expecting my SAT score to be around 1900's and my GPA is around 3.9
I've taken all the basic science courses offered.
Do I have any chance? If so, which schools would be a safety, match, or reach?

Lastly, what are the drawbacks of accelerated programs? Will it be harder to find a job after I graduate?

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

Are you an HS student? If not, there's no point in going to a 0-6 program, as they are pretty much meant for people going straight from HS who want to finish pharmacy in 6 years.
If you are an HS student, people like the Rutgers program (though I hadn't heard of it when I was applying back in the day). I go to USP and not too many people like this school, though I guess there are some good things about it. I don't know about other ones.

I suggest you double check your research. Not all of these programs are 0-6. UConn is a 2+4 program. Off your list, I only know the other New England/Northeast programs. MCP-Boston, Rutgers, St. John's, and URI are 0-6. Northeastern in Boston might also be a 0-6 or a 2+4. I think Albany College of Pharmacy is also a 0-6 program. Buffalo has a program I heard about when I graduated high school but I don't know anything about it.

As for landing a job after a 0-6 vs a "typical" BS required 4 year program, I don't think it makes a difference. The school's reputation/strength could make a difference, but I don't think that is based on this difference. Talk to pharmacists in your area/near the school to get an idea of the school's reputation. Talk to current PHARMACY students at the schools to see what they think. And figure out where you fit and what you can afford. Are you 100% set on pharmacy? If you aren't or if you are afraid you'll change your mind, don't go to a school like MCP or ACP.

UT Austin isn't an 0+6 program either.

Actually I believe ACP (now ACPHS) isn't 0-6 anymore. Neither is Duquesne. 0-6 programs are slowly disappearing.

I agree. I think that list may be really outdated or simply just not accurate.

There are only nine 0-6 programs left...they are going the way of the dodo bird

what is the difference between a 0-6 and 0+6 pharmacy school?

Never seen it written as 0-6, but I would assume there's no difference.

I write 0-6 and 2-4, just because that seems more logical to me and that's how I've always written it. No difference if someone writes it that way or another way.
