I feel very happy that I got accepted to both schools.
But I am still so lost on where I should go..
I guess it depends whether I like the city or the suburbs since the tuition seems to be about the same for out of state students.. I heard that they have very saturated amount of pharmacists in Iowa so that working at the hospital is pretty hard..

Any thoughts will be very very appreciated^_^

Ohio State is one of the top 10, maybe top 5 schools in the country, I'd go with them.

Of course if Iowa is way cheaper, go with them.

Either way, good luck.

If you go to Iowa, you get to be classmates with SKP!


On second thought, choose Ohio State for the above reason

Both will be great choices. Congrats

depending on how you look at it, being classmates with me is reason enough to choose one over the other 😀

I can't comment on Ohio State...but Iowa City is one cool town both from my little experience and from what I've been told. I can see how there would be a surplus of pharmacists in Iowa City because it seems everyone wants to live there, but I doubt whether the state of Iowa is in a pharmacist surplus. I imagine we are in a shortage like most of the country. From what I've been told - there are plenty of [pharmacist] jobs available. Of course, if your not from Iowa, you probably won't be staying after graduation anyway [i probably won't]...

good luck with you decision - make sure to make some contacts with current students and maybe some faculty/deans at the respective schools for more information...in what area of pharmacy do you want to practice? This could make a big impact in where you would like to study!

take care,
