If someone failed pharmacy school, would they be able to attend another pharmacy school?

 

[WhiteSnows]

No.

 

[atticus27]

yes

 

[NaOH]

Maybe?

 

[Passion4Sci]

Wow, that was completely unexpected...

I don't know, can you repeat the question...

But seriously, if you fail a class, I believe many schools let you retake it the next year. So you have to take an extra year of classes, but you still get your PharmD. I bet that schools wouldn't accept you if you failed because they'd think that you wouldn't be competitive in the program.

Yea, you can definitely go to a different school, why not? Obviously you have to apply with everyone else and start all over as a P1. It may or may not be harder to get in but you still have all of the same pre-reqs done as the first time you applied. Might be fun trying to explain what happened at the first school during any interviews...

Not to mention there could have been multiple circumstances why it happened. If it was simply "I just don't get it" then maybe pharmacy isn't for that person, but crap happens, so you never know.

Nope.
"Truck driving school" is the next option, to quote someone on here. Don't remember who said it, but I read it in a sig

Think that's sodium hydroxide.

Didn't think it was possible until found out a classmate that did it succesfully. So yes, its been done.

All I know is with tuition being 30k+ a year for some schools, I sure as heck hope I wouldn't have to.

I failed out of pharmacy school and went back to undergraduate to finish my BS degree.

I am graduating in May and got an interview for UIC.

Anything can happen! 🙂

One of my classmates could have, but I think they decided against it because I think at that point one has to determine if it's really what they truly wanted. Pharmacy school can be really hard if it's not truly in your heart or if you're not ready.

Thank you guys for the responses 🙂

Even if that person is re-accepted what if they fail out again. I think that student would need to ask themself as to whether they can handle pharmacy school and not whether they simply have the passion to be a pharmacist bc that only goes so far.
