Guys can someone help me out in making my decision about which one of the school should i go too??? i personally liked the programm at Wingate because of the fact that i would get more hands on experience but should i go to wingate just because of that??
thanx

I think u should got to massachusetts.

Yes, Wingate has a spectacular program!

I suggest you go to Mass college of pharmacy. You graduate 1 year eariler meaning, you dont lose that 100K potential earning by going to a 4 year program....100K is a lot o fmoney. Sure Mass may seem expensive, but it works out the same as other schools, considerinf it's a 4 year program. Despite what people say, it's the easiest pharmacy program in the US....easy to get high GPA as long as you stay on top of your work and dont do anything stupid.

thank you all for answering my question, it does help me in making my decision...but when i went to Boston for my MCPHS interview i didnt like the school, first of all it had no "Library" and no place to study quitely...and it looked like a high school because of the fact that there were alot of students that seemed to be freshman or something like that...if i am going to a pharmacy school it should have its own facility, its own building not with other majors...
so wat do u guys think about that??

so it sounds like it's really a decision between temple and wingate?

 

[jabhilok]

yep jc430...i would love to go to temple but i heard the neighbourhood is bad..when i went to the interview it didnt seem that bad but ppl say it get worse at night....

yeah i've heard all that about the temple neighborhood too. i've been accepted into mcphs, had interviews with temple and northeastern last week. i think i'd prefer boston over philly as a place to live, but finances play a big factor in my decision too. temple while expensive for out of state is still a little cheaper than both other schools, and philly can be cheaper to live in than boston. i did like temple though. it's a big research oriented university. the location like you said didn't seem that bad in the daytime. you have to take into account too that even at night, broad st. is a major throughfare, it's really only about 2 blocks from the subway, and if you do run into a bullet the temple hospital is down the street .

i've been in worse neighborhoods in new york city... just play it safe and use common sense. don't flash your money, don't look like you're a tourist and break out a map while you're walking down the street, etc. you'll be fine.

i'm surprised the warm temps in n.c. haven't yet persuaded you to head south =].

good luck with your decision.

There is a library actually.

But you have in fact stated some of my points about this school!

Go there if you are a commuter (save money) and/or this is the only school that accepts you (high rate of acceptance).
