Hey all,
I'm currently a HS senior and I have a huge decision to make. I have been accepted to a six year pharmacy program at St. John's University (in Queens, New York). In addition, just recently I won a scholarship that will cover five out of six years of the PharmD program (it will cover everything, tuition, room, board, costs). I've been hearing bad things about the field of pharmacy, new schools opening, saturated market, wages going down, etc. In addition, I don't know very much about the pharmacy department at St. John's and their website doesn't help much either, nor does it talk about graduate hiring rates. I feel that this is an opportunity of a life time, I can get a PharmD in only six years, and only walk away with about 40k in loans. What is your opinion on this? Does anybody know about St. John's pharmacy program?
Thanks!
