Hi everyone! I desperately need your opinion. My background: I am 28 year old immigrant. I moved to USA 6 years ago. I got my associates from CC and got accepted to PharmD program (the best school in IL). Now, I am about to be a second year pharmacy student and I am afraid of my future. My...

Hello all! I had an interview with UCI last Thursday. I wanted to start a thread for PharmD applicants for this cycle.

Hi everyone! Has anyone had their interview with KGI's School of Pharmacy? I have mine in a couple weeks and would like to know what questions to expect. Also, in the email it said the interviews would start at 9am and are expected to last until 3pm, and it doesn't seem like the campus tour is...

I was considering Rosalind Franklin for pharmacy school but I heard they don’t have a great reputation and preceptors are not impressed with the students. Can anyone attest to this?

So I am a pharmacy student. I just finished my first year and am now doing my rotations. For a number of reasons, I’ve come to the decision that I don’t want to pursue a degree in pharmacy (PharmD.). After 2 years in my 4-year pharmacy program, we are given a Bachelor’s in pharmaceutical...

I am completely unable to decide what career path I would like to pursue. Unlike most of my classmates, I did not have a firm career path in mind during high school, but thought this was normal at the time. After graduating I decided to save money by completing coursework part-time at a local...

Hi eveyone! I’m not sure if there is another thread out there but I’m creating this one for anyone who is interested in applying to USF COP for Fall 2019 admission cycle. Good luck to all!!

Note: TLDR at the end: This has been discussed with a high constant flow of "it cant be done" to "sign up for loan forgiveness and pay minimum for 20+ years." I'd like to open this discussion up with my own experience as to how I'm getting pharmacy school and cost of living covered at no cost...

I listed biology and human and anatomy classes as lab and lecture combined classes on PharmCAS and I made sure on everything before I completed the finalization. But when I downloaded my application flies to schools I applied for, these classes are shown as lecture-only classes. I don't know...

Hi

Hi All. I plan to choose "no score" option on my upcoming Pcat test, and I already listed recipient schools when I registered for Pcat. So, do I have to enter my Pcat CID into my PharmCAS application after I take the test?

I don’t have residency, just pharm.d and B.S plus couple years of clinical experience. I’m really interested in applying for CRA position at a pretty well known CRO, but of course you gotta answer the “desired salary” question on your application. What’s the typical starting range for pharm.d?

Hello! I am a recent graduate with a BSc in pharmacy from a foreign university. My goal is to apply directly to PhD programs in the US and pursue a career in academia. However, I've been accepted to a (one year) PharmD program at my alma mater and I have the opportunity to work at a hospital...

I am taking the PTCE in less than 3 weeks. So far I have been studying using Mosby's Review for the PTCE by Mizner (2e), studying flash cards on the top 100 drugs, studying flash cards on drug class prefixes + suffixes, and studying through the pharmacy-tech-study website. Is there anything else...

Anybody know what research opportunities/careers there are for people who only have a PharmD degree and are interested in research?

Hello, RPh community, After a couple of months with CVS as a floater, I quit due to what I felt was a mental and physical abuse to the RPh and techs. I told my DM it's not ethical to understaff every pharmacy I go in order to save more money. Hence, it could overwork the pharmacist and might...

Hello all, I am currently a college freshman and have had interests in becoming a pharmacist for the past two years now. Currently I have shadowed clinical pharmacists and a few retail pharmacists. The job seems so interesting. I now have a few questions 1. Will pharmacy be still too...

I got admitted to both schools but I'm really lost between them. I have heard that USC is very disorganized in terms of the professors teaching the classes (Many resident students and PHD student teaching parts of a class with some that have barely understandable accent) Also I was told that...

Hi folks, I have four pharmacy schools to decide and I would appreciate all your thoughts and inputs. MCPHS at Worcester, Northeastern U, Temple U and Jefferson. The location, cost and residency are what I considered, and I will have to take loan. Also, does anyone know how much of the...

Anyone have interviews here and mind sharing the interview process and the questions they ask?

I also got an acceptance letter for the PharmD program from University of the Pacific in Stockton. Are there any current students or alumni that can give me the pros and cons of attending a 3-year program (UOP) vs a 4-year program (Western University)? Your advice will be highly appreciated...

It seems a majority of people think that West Coast University School of Pharmacy in LA is a terrible choice. I was accepted, and I really liked the campus, the teachers, and research opportunities. They are still Candidate status, but they may be fully accredited this June if all goes well...

Any advice someone can give regarding this school's interview style? I hear there is a writing portion. What is that writing essay about?

I mean, tough. Been looking for 9 months, networking, calling on all contacts, yielding very little actionable leads. I have even received BCPS in that time as I have some clinical experience but all/most employers are wanting “recent inpatient experience”. It’s nuts, in 15 years we’ve gone...

I know schools look at volunteer hours as part of the application process. I was a Division I athlete and worked part time as a RA (resident assistant) for 3 out of 4 years. I majored in Bio and minored in Spanish. My schedule didn't leave much room for volunteer time... do you think lack of...
