Question #1 : Google is your friend

Question #2: which one is better is dependent of the individual. You’ve provided no stats of yourself so that’s as far as I can contribute.

Question #3: The difference between a 3 and 4 year. I’ll take time on this one with examples.

Some 3 years have what’s called a block schedule. You study one subject intensively and quickly. You then build upon that subject with another topic and start to build a foundation. For example, Pacific University Oregon does a block schedule that requires the students to obtain a 90% or higher on each exam (twice a week or every week or every other week 12 months out of the year with a couple 2 week breaks). This high intensity leaves little to no time of interning but you graduate a year quicker thus a sooner income establishment.

A traditional 4 year pharmacy program has 16 - 22 credits per semester and is established similarly to undergrad (not work load...merely class scheduling). You are graded on a 4.0 GPA scale and will be expected (hopefully encouraged) to work as an intern after your labs and classes. Summer times are an opportunity to establish intern hours and IPPE rotations with sites given to you to work in. 2 semesters a year with interning / IPPE rotations in the summer. Last year you do APPE sites and prep for the NAPLEX.


TLDR; GOOGLE is your friend. 3 year program is intense with block scheduling. 4 year is traditional with more intern hour opportunities.

I would be worried that you do not want to submit a PCAT score. Take the PCAT, look at places.

3 years of school will be hell if you are not adequately prepared. My dad did a 16 month accelerated nursing program with the practical experiences and it was hell. You have to be ready to work and have the skills to pass these classes. So poor PCAT and poor GPA will be indicators of how well you will do in school.
