Pharmacy School??
 

Hey!! So I haven't been on Greekchat for atleast two months.....anyhow, I have been thinking about starting to take the required pre-pharmacy classes so that I can get into pharmacy school, and I just wanted to know if anyone had been to pharm school, applied, or is thinking about it??!!! If so, do you have any advice?? My dad went to Pharmacy school, but that was almost thirty years ago and everythnig has totally changed since then!! Thanks!!!

I haven't any useful advice to suggest on your query. I just wanted to post to say we missed you lots around here Rachel - welcome back. :)

thx!! Ièm not really going on here anymore generally, but its nice to know that I am missed!!! Ièll try to stop by more!!

I'm not in pharmacy school, but 2 of my roommates from college applied. They had to take a bunch of chemistry and physics, so if you're not good at that stuff, you'd better start looking at other stuff. :p But seriously, the only advice I can really give is to apply to tons of schools, because it's hard to get into a pharmacy program and one of my roommates didn't get in anywhere. I think what hurt her was that she had attended 3 different schools, and that was frowned on I guess because it made her seem flaky. Who knows.

i think some of my friends were applying for schools on the east coast. i couldn't tell you what the school names were, but that's somewhere to look.

also i think oregon has one. i don't know though.

try to take Organic Chemistry in the summer... as your only class. Trying to take that and Physics, BioChem, and A&P is murder!

My little sister in is Pharm school at Ole Miss right now. In the 6 years I've known her, she's had her nose in a book the entire time. If you aren't into studying 24-7, then you might want to reconsider. Try going to www.olemiss.edu and checking out the pre-pharm and pharm programs. That would give you a better idea of what you're up against.

Also, it can give you an idea of what part of pharm you might like to go into. I know there's the research area, actual pharmacy area, pharmaceutical sales, etc. My lil sis is going into the actual pharmacy area.

Good luck whith whatever you decide...
