Does choice of school affect future career?

I'd like to do something in the business side of pharmacy once I graduate, probably PBM or independent pharmacy (do I need an MBA for that?).

Currently I'm debating between USC and MWU-CPG in Arizona. Does going to a higher-ranked school like USC give me better chances of doing what I want to do (i.e. networking, support, etc.)?

The answer is no, you get where you get based on your own abilities and desires....

Yes but it really depends on where you want to work and how tight the job market is.

I think you need to look into what each school offers you given your career interests and where you want to live after graduation. I am not familiar with MWU-CPG but USC has a lot of dual degree options that could help you with a establishing a career in the business side of pharmacy. Also, if you want to live in Cali, USC's brand name resonates with employers in the state much more than MWU-CPG.

I hate cats for that exact reason. I had like four when I was a kid and they all ran away...

Whenever they'd bite me for no reason I'd ****ing bit them right back. Jerks.
