Can't say if it has changed since I left (Class of '83) University of Iowa was easy to get into and very difficult to stay in. I graduated with the class behind the one I started in. The class I graduated with began with 120 shrank by sixty then swelled by sixty and actually graduated sixty. That's greater than 50% mortality rate.
There were tons of former pharmacy students walking around campus (University of Iowa)
You just gotta ask yourself how bad do you want it? When I was a P3 on probation faced with huge student debt and a family to raise on a minimum wage job it got right down to brass tacks in a hurry. I resolved that it was do or die and "they" would have to pry my cold dead fingers off the banister of the pharmacy school to get me out of there. Being pig headed stubborn helps.
That quality will serve you (and hinder you) in the real world when faced with angry customers, greedy managers, and lazy technicians.
