Greeting all,
has anyone got accepted or interviewed at one of the following pharmacy school and what do they have to offer?

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
Roosevelt University
LECOM Bradenton School of Pharmacy
California Health Sciences University

Would someone recommend these school to anyone else? Since they are new to the profession, what do they have to offer in term of education and reputation.
I don't want to through my 48,000 per year for school that does not earn me the PharmD diploma.
I heard some schools did not make it to the accreditation status, they left their student sink with debt and with no degree. Some school are newly accredited in 2011 and 2010, any thought on those schools?
I want to go to a good reputable old school. Does anyone know some of them?

please advise and put me in the right direction.

They're more than likely diploma mills as pharmacy doesn't need any more new schools.

Having applied a while back ago during the time when some of those schools became accredited, none of the schools you mentioned are necessarily "easy to get into"

Look there ^ you'll get an idea of what to look for if you're truly interested in a reputable college. The only schools I would consider diploma mills are Chapman and one or two colleges in Texas and Maryland (no reason to name them, but you can search for them). Regardless, the NAPLEX is changing, and for a majority of schools the curriculum is rigorous. There's still numerous hoops to jump through.

EDIT: I can also attest to the fact that the opening of newer schools is only further damaging the profession, but I'm sure we're tired of hearing that.
