Apply to both pharmacy and DO or wait a year?

[wzhang728]

Is it a bad idea to apply to 25 DO schools and 18 pharmacy schools in the same year given the cost of attending interviews and extra classes? The other option would be to apply to only DO schools this year and apply to pharmacy only if I don't get in. I have a 3.5 GPA 31 MCAT and upper 70s pcat but horrible interviewing skills.

I'd suggest only applying to DO schools.

Try applying to some MD schools as well.

Instead of spending money on applying to 18 pharmacy schools, use it to apply to MD, DO and physician assistant schools. With your stats, there is no reason you should be wasting that kind of money on pharmacy school applications.

You seem to have good stats, just try your best in whatever path you wish to pursue. 25 schools is a lot; the odds seem to be in your favor
