School Ranking

[sna]

Anyone have a complete list of pharmacy school rankings that's current? Also are there rankings for dual programs like PharmD/MBA, PharmD/PhD?

Try searching. This has only been asked about 500 times now.

Rankings don't really matter. Not to mention the fact that the rankings out there are based on opinions, not fact.

I know UCSF is #1 and UNC-Chapel Hill is #3, UF is #11.

I think for PhD the reputation certainly matters and I like Chapel Hill's program a lot and what they have to offer.

For PhD's school reputation certainly matters more, but what really matters is who is you do your research under.

Guess what:
IF you go to UCSF and I go to the boonies for pharmacy school....when we both graduate, both of us will have the same degree (PharmD). I know some people are gonna argue with this, talking about prestige, when you graduate, offers... but I really dont care, cuz it issss trueee.

Really the only time where you went to school will matter is your first job. After that people really just care about your professional experience.

The only time I can think of which a school's reputation might, I mean just might, come into play, will be if you decide to do a residency. Even there, your grades and clerkships are way much more important.

just make sure that boonies school is accredited and you're good to go.

I graduated as Engineer from Cal Poly Pomona and I just fired the guy who graduated from Barkely a month ago. Does it really matter?

sometimes the school you choose can influence where you end up in life....

Case in point...

I paid a bunch of money and went to a well respected program for gradaute school and in my opinion, it hasn't gotten me any further than someone with my same degree who graduated from Anyschool USA. 😡

Go where you can get in and do the best you can while you are there...good luck!
