how many of you were re-applicants? and if you reapplied, how many times did you re-apply until you finally got in?

Not a reapplicant... a career-switcher here.

 

[TheChemist]

There seems to be a lot of quarter-life crisis career changes going on.

 

[DC1120]

just out of curiosity... what did you all do before making the decision to puruse pharmacy? Was it pharmacy related, healthcare related, or something completely different?

 

[PharmGrl]

Saw this in another forum...

But I was curious to know how old everyone will be when starting pharmacy school for Fall 2006???

As for me, I will be 24 year old.

If I start this August, I will be 30 years old, going on 31.

 

[starsweet]

I'm 25 and a career switcher from engineering.

 

[pokey83]

[Stephie]

29 for me!!!!!

 

[Baxter81]

Because I am a returning student ( b.s. in Psych in 2003) I will be the ripe old age of 27 or 28 when I finish my pre-req's and start pharm d school. I'm old!!!

Dont worry!! Better late then never!

 

[CincyPrePharm06]

24 for me. I didn't get interested in pharmacy till my senior year of college. Luckily I had a decent amount of prereq's finished up because I was premed for a little while.

Well, I was a chemist first. Fortunately, I realized that I hated lab before I got out of school the first time. Spent 10 years doing environmental consulting (Superfund sites, business assistance, etc.) - then I got a job as a pharmacy tech so I would have a shorter commute instead of 2+ hours per day. Things just sort of went from there.

 

[Delphi80]

25! It's been a great year!!!

 

[Genuine]

So i'm sure we all kinda conjure up a person with each sdn screen name. For you, I conjured up a 21 year old.. hehe... I wonder how many more wrong ones i have...


I'll be 22

hahha... yeah i shocked myself too when i wrote my age down... I was like, Man I cant believe I'm 27! Just yesterday I was 21... hehe time sure flies.

 

[ashin]

Teacher by day... personal trainer when I have/had spare time

 

[n0estoy]

for all you career switchers, do you have any idea on what field in pharmacy you would like to get in to. i feel like you guys have probably given it a little more thought than we have.

 

[Fill your Rx 26]

22!

 

[freshbeatschris]

Ironically, I will be celebrating my 31st birthday on the first day of classes at Midwestern. I hope they go easy on me.

I worked as an analytical chemist at an environmental chemistry lab for over two years. They pay was crap, no room for upward mobility, and lab work was just not my thing..

 

[rosey189]

I'll be 25 when I start....have a previous degree in Nutrition

I am switching careers from the airline industry to pharmacy and I am used to dealing with the public on all levels (the good, the bad and the really really NASTY!!) So, I will probably work retail after I graduate to pay off some debt. It will also allow me to have a flexible schedule until my son is older. After that it will depend on if I feel like going back to school to get my PhD (UCSF has a great Pharmacogenomics program) or continue to pursue areas in hospital pharmacy or some other clinical area. I am sure my mind will change several times before I graduate from pharmacy school. I am still considering the dual program PharmD/MBA that USN offers as well, but I don't have to decide that until the second year.

I am not a career switcher seeing as how I've never had a "career" per se. Unless professional student is a career! heehee
I did get a degree in Psychology in 2004 for what it's worth.
