anyone still having a difficult time deciding between these two schools?

I'm from CA(norcal) and don't know which school to attend =(

But...
Will the networking at USC later help me find a job in norcal?
Does USC give me a better chance to get into residency after I graduate?


Thanks for all you help!!

Both good programs, but USC's name recognition and network of rotation slots throughout CA will help you with residencies/job placement.

HOWEVER, if you plan on doing just retail work...I'd go to USN, it'll spit you out faster, which is important considering the coming pharmacy surplus. Just be sure you can figure out when you can do your intern hours to satisfy CA BoP requirements since you'll be in school full time and I don't believe you have summers to work.

And remember, you probably don't know what you want to do exactly, so my vote is USC just in case you change career paths.

I think the usc networking is a bit overrated, all that really matters is your pharmD, plus im sure you can network just fine at usn. if you choose usn, you will not only be done in three years, but you will also save a years worth of tuition

I thought this is taken into consideration so the tuition is actually higher per year, so it evens out in the end.
