I think this is a wonderful gimmick to lure in students. It's like the drug dealer who gives you a free hit to get you hooked.
If you are going to go to pharmacy school anyway, why not.

That drug dealer analogy is EXACTLY it..... Problem is they're getting you hooked on a drug that ultimately sucks.

Hopefully the vast majority of the students drop out after their P1 year. That way, they don’t pay anything to the school and avoid ending up $200k+ in debt and being unemployed or working at CVS.

I wouldn't attend any pharmacy school for free at this point.

If a legit school like Utah is doing this - that just shows more how much of a dumpster fire this profession is

yeah if you're from out of state it's only 30k a semester after the first year! wow.
