I'm currently in the process of applying to pharmacy schools. My state does have a highly ranked (top 10) pharmacy school (currently where I am for undergrad) so I could attend here to get in state tuition. However, I know I don't want to stay in this state after I graduate because it just isn't for me. I could handle another four years here, but I'd really prefer to leave sooner rather than later. I'm looking into other pharmacy schools out of state (some which happen to be top 10 as well but also mostly because they're in locations I'd be happy with), as well as some lower ranked ones (mostly Northeastern as a direct entry with a bachelors degree rather than their 6 year program). I have two concerns. While in state tuition would be nice, would attending my in state school limit me for residency and work options to my state? Additionally, I know Northeastern is not ranked as high as the others I'm applying to, but I love the idea of living in Boston as well as their co op program. Would going there limit my job options as well? It seems to still have a very good reputation even though it isn't ranked as high. At this point, I am definitely interested in pursuing a residency position after pharmacy school. (Obviously all of this relies on me actually being accepted but for the sake of answering these questions, let's assume the unlikely situation that I do get accepted everywhere.)
