MCV vs. ACP (Help!!)

[asha629]

Hello all, I have been following the pre-pharmacy posts for several months now and finally decided to register because I have a question. I was accepted to MCV in late December and have already paid my deposit to attend classes this fall. My problem is, is that I have now been accepted to ACP accelerated program which starts this May. I thought I really wanted to go to ACP but I had settled with MCV because I hadn't heard anything from ACP until just last week. I would be nice to go to Albany since I will finish in 3 years but I am not sure if I can move so quickly (from Northern Virginia to Albany, NY). Any advice?

I'm assuming you're talking about the schools in VA....

on that assumption i would go to MCV hands down.

Reasons for me:
ACP- not accredited
MCV- accredited
(MCV)
ACP- Grundy
MCV- Richmond
(MCV)
ACP- no building
MCV- building
(MCV)
ACP- 3 years
MCV- 4 years
(ACP)

Rotation Quality and established:
MCV- estabilished
ACP- not many area pharmacies/hosptials not established
(MCV)

I'm from the area around grundy..... My cousin attends law school there.... I personally have several questions about the pharmacy school and their choices for people on their board etc.

If you are not from the area be aware that the enviornment is different (one law student was written a ticket for jogging on the road)

This envornment will probably be ideal for some......
Make a list of your pros and cons and see which one wins out...

Remember... its not always just about getting out faster

The ACP that is being discussed is Albany College of Pharmacy, not Appalachia. 😉 😛
