Question for MCPHS Pharmacy Students

Hey I have a question,

I currently work for a pharmaceutical company but want to pursue my pharmd as a career move. I have a 4 year marketing degree and a 2 year math and science both from different institutions. I have worked for this top pharmaceutical company for 7-8 months and decided pharma sales is not what I want to do. I am highly considering going to MCPHS and trying to get into their accelerated program and am just wondering how the school is and if I have a chance to get in. I have a 3.7 GPA for each of my degrees and was super involved in college and have done a ton of community service over the years. I have some real world pharmaceutical experience as well. I was wondering if anyone could lend me their thoughts especially those that have attended or currently attend MCPHS.

Thank You

mcphs... they accept everybody. Just get your application there before the dateline. The quality of their education isn't that great. They just want your money. Don't go there... don't make the same mistake I made 🙁

what was so wrong with it? IS the environment crappy?

I feel like a lot of the hating on MCPHS is from people don't expect it to be as intense as it really is. it is hard, you need to spend a lot of your time studying or else you're not going to do well. MCP does not let everyone in, they told us they had over 2,000 applicants for our class of around 220 (for Manchester and Worcester). That said, sounds like you're a competitive applicant.
