Hi guys,

From what i learned, I think this question is usually asked during the interview " Would you work for the state/city in the future if you were offered admission into pharmacy school? How would you answer this question? I know there are people who didn't get into the school of their choice and had to go elsewhere. So when they graduated, they might go back to the state in which they wanted to work. cux u know how there are new pharmacy schools opening in new cities and states because there is a demand for pharmacists in those regions. so, during the interview, how would you answer this question? You wouldn't want to say " I would want to go back to my state and work..etc, do u? This will make the admissions committe feel like u r not worth keeping since u are not going to work in their state/city when there is a demand for pharmacists.

If you are not sure where you want to live after graduation, it's fair to say so. many of us may think we are going to go back someplace, but once we are away for awhile, we may not have the same attachment.

You want to be at honest and open to possibilities. Pharmacy schools aren't that worried about whether you stay in their state or not, so that shouldn't be a huge factor in admission.
