for all you pharmacy majors out there..... did you ever doubt yourself?? I mean I have pretty good grades in school, I have a 3.3 for my first two years of pre-pharm, and I get As and Bs in most of the science courses. but I still doubt myself all the time. I dont know if I'll be able to make it through pharmacy school. I feel like I'm always memorizing stuff but never really apply them and in pharmacy school you have to know how to apply not just memorizing stuff. is it really possible for someone that's not a native english speaker but speak okay english to become a successful pharmacist???????😕
 
I always hate that moment when I get an indian male IT help on the phone with barely audible speech... damn cheap company outsourcing everything... You are doom, my friend! Get out of pharmacy school now! C_C

personally i like messing with the indian male IT helpers. I am like what is your name. And they always give some american name. MAHAHAHA.

to OP, calm the hell down. it is just pharmacy school. relax..
 
The 2nd smartest kid in my year is this Asian guy who knows English, but when he speaks, its kinda hard to understand what he's trying to say. He has like a 3.95 gpa.

He works in a Chinese private owned pharmacy and he's doing well as an intern. He did clinical rounds with this somewhat famous preceptor with me and even the doctors and clinical pharmacist were impressed with his knowledge, pushing him to do residency in a few years.

Maybe he won't be able to communicate properly in a community setting, but he'd do great in a clinical setting.

So yeah, okay English and you could still be successful.
 
Wait, are you implying that the 1st smartest ISN'T Asian? What kinda crazy school do you go to?

Yeah, 1st smartest kid isn't Asian. The top student in my class is Caucasian. On top of that, they're nice kids. They aren't snooty or overly competitive.

What's funnier is that 12 of the 15 that were "kicked out" of pharmacy school throughout the years, due to poor GPAs and such, were Asian (Chinese/Korean/Indian). So now my class is 10% Asian (not including the Asian-Indian students). Yeah... I thought it was pretty shocking too....

Which pharmacy school do you go to?
 
My school is like 95% white and probably 2~3% asian.
 
Stereotypes are nothing more than self-fulfilling prophecies.
