All time low? West Coast University advertises on the radio to get applicants.

[steveysmith54]

Was driving home, heard an advertisement on a very popular radio station asking listeners if they want to study to become a doctor of pharmacy at West Coast University. The advertisement had a disclaimer that employment is NOT guaranteed. I'd say that has to be considered one of the all time low moments for the profession.

Maybe as low as WCU CPJE passing rate:
CPJE Pass Rates – California School of Pharmacy by Percent: 46.2%

NAPLEX Pass Rates – California School of Pharmacy by Percent: 71.8%

I haven't looked at CPJE pass rates in a minute, but damn, your chances are better going to a non-CA program and self-studying rather than being a student in these new programs

I remember hearing radio commercials for some pharmacy tech school.

yup, sounded no different than tech school advertisement, or those trade schools advertisements you used to see on TV during the day time.
