So, my top two choices for pharmacy school (out of the list that I applied to) are Midwestern CCP and Creighton University, the former being in Illinois and the latter being in Nebraska. I've gotten into Midwestern, and if I also get into Creighton, its gonna be a tough decision. I figured it would help to start the decision-making process sooner than later, should it come to that.
Among others, one of the deciding factors is the job market in each state, since I've been told that a pharmacy school's prestige with regards to employment is regional rather than national. I've also been told that the job market in Illinois is pretty bad, with 5 pharmacy schools pumping out graduates.
As far as the job market in Nebraska, I haven't heard anything good or bad. It only has 2 pharmacy schools, but its not nearly as populated...
Does anyone here have any info that can shed some more light on the employment 'health' of either state?
