I applied to University of Tennessee school of pharmacy (memphis location; all p1 and p2 students have to do their didactic studies there, because that is where the compounding labs are), Belmont, and Sullivan university (I realized later on that Sullivan does not have a great reputation at all in the Pharmacy world; it's considered a "down south" school, but I did get an interview there), and I considered Belmont for a little while since I live in Tennessee, but I was turned off by the high tuition costs. Plus, UT is 17th in the nation and number 1 in Tennessee and the Memphis campus is literally 25 minutes away from where I live, so that makes it an obvious choice. Plus, it's one of the nations oldest Pharmacy schools, being founded way back in 1898, so it has a reputation and is well-known, which gives me an advantage when it comes to being competitive in a oversaturated Pharmacy market.
