Do you think it is important factor to do some volunteer work or work as an Pharm tech? Couple years ago, I did some volunteer work but not much, and I don't have any working experience as a Pharm tech. However, I has spent 20 hours a week doing research for the past 2 years. Do you think that'll help? Thanks.

The research experience is good, but practical experience in a pharmacy would also look very good on an app. Even if you can only pick up a few hours a week, I would try to get a job as a pharm tech.
 
I agree...you never really know if you want to be a pharmacist until you work in pharmacy. Get some tech experience...it will definitely help you out.

Agreed. I still dont see how people want to be a pharmacist without ever stepping foot in a pharmacy. No disrespect, its just not a field that I feel you could read about and just love.
