Shoot, i should have asked this when i put up my last post. But could someone who is, or has gone through the 4 yr professional program, give a compact view of what class schedules look like. Anyone from ACP here to offer some input. Or just anyone.
I'm trying to get an idea of how things work in P1. Do classes run M-F from 8:30 to 3? That type stuff. Are there several breaks? Is there decent free time? Nothing detailed, unless you have the time (and i would be most grateful for whatever input.) I'm obsessed with spending time with my son ad husband. But just kind of want to have an idea of how things are.
The daily schedule can vary a lot depending on the school. Most schools post their class schedules on the web, so I'd look at the specific schools your interested in.
For example: http://www.uchsc.edu/sop/pharmd/2.Class_Schedules.html

1PD schedule at my school was different since classes are online. We were on campus on average 3x per week. Sometimes we were on campus once a week, or every day.
So my schedule looked like this:
M: Sleep till 11AM. Watch prerecorded lectures from 11a-4p. Relax for rest of the day.
T: Go to campus for a few hours. Watch prerecorded lectures once back at home. Relax for the rest of the day.
W: Sleep till 11AM. Relax for the rest of the day.
Th: Go to campus for a couple of hours. Watch the previous day's lectures once back at home.
F: Go to campus for an hour. Catch up on lectures once at home.
Sat: Watch whatever remaining lectures. Relax for the rest of the day.
Sun: Sleep till 1p. Vegetate.
Wash, rinse and repeat.
