knowing that UCSF is ranked first by US News, this is surprising for me.
what was the criteria that was used to rank it as that?
I originally thought because of success after graduation or board exam pass rates
but I saw this recently:
http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/publications/0415_0915_stats.pdf
UCSF actually has the lowest california board pass rate with 10.5% of the class failing JPE exam
even Touro and Cal Northstate has higher pass rates.
they say ranking is important to land a residency, is this really true?
how can a school with lower pass rates be more competitive for residency?
earlier last year UCSF was even put on probation, if my goal is to be a clinical pharmacist or work in industry would it matter if I go to UCSF or Touro?
