Hey everyone, so I’m currently interviewing to schools and I need help deciding what school to choose. So I haven’t heard back yet from all the schools I’ve interviewed at but I’m just gunna give you two different scenarios.

First: assuming I get in everywhere I interviewed
Wayne state university (Pros = I live in Michigan with parents so it would be much cheaper, Cons = I hate Michigan)
Vs. Philadelphia College of Pharmacy at University of the Sciences
Vs. Midwestern University in Lombard IL
Vs. Thomas Jefferson University PA

Second:
Midwestern University vs. Thomas Jefferson University

Best: dont go to any 🙂

Second best: go for the cheapest, which I assume WSU since u r in state and can also live w parents.
 
Use this link if you haven't done so yet:

http://www.aacp.org/resources/student/pharmacyforyou/admissions/Pages/compareuspharmacyprograms.aspx

Filter your results based on your state, then select range of tuition dollars starting at the lowest end, slowly moving up. I'm actually surprised at the number of schools that still offer the degree at less than $15,000/year.

If you decide upon a school that charges >$35,000/year for the degree, then I suggest an emergency visit to the nearest neurologist and then another 10 appointments with a local psychiatrist.
 
What are the differences for you financially between the schools? Are you looking anywhere in OH, KY, WV? We have some fairly cheap but solid pharmacy schools.
