Hey guys i'm accepted to several places and i would like to know where is the best place for me. Does any one know of any charts which would give info about the schools passing and failing the board exams?
And also i was wondering about western, is it true that they r really on probation for not having a high passing rate? if so why do i c so many ppl so eager to go there?
THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!

The best school is the one that fits you best. Most schools have solid passing rates for the board exam, so i wouldn't worry too much about it. Besides your passing the board exam is more on how well you've paid attention over 4 years, not the school.

it has statistics mainly about ca schools and the cpje, but has a little data on naplex.

regarding western, i have not heard anything about them being on probation. you do hear that some pharmacists don't think very highly of western (refer to the thread "waitlist, anybody?"), but i think one of the main selling points of their program is their block schedule where you just study one topic for six weeks, take a test on it, and then you can "supposedly" forget about it when you move on to your next block topic instead of having to take 4-5 classes on different topics simultaneously.

out of curiosity, would you mind sharing the schools that you have been accepted into and are debating between?
