Is it hard to get into pharmacy school???

Question

Very few colleges offer pharmacy program...Once you've done your prerequisits how hard is it to get into pharmacy school???

Answer 1

Yes, it's very hard to get accepted. Acceptance rates are about 1 in 9. To be competitive, you'll need a GPA of at least a 3.5 and a PCAT score of about 75.

Answer 2

medical school. Medical schools require pre-med courses. Law school there are no requirements. In fact you can take any course you want, it doesn't have to be law courses. I don't know about pharmacy but i'm pretty sure for pharmacy you don't go to school for 4 years. As for the competitiveness i am not sure. There are more law students than lawyers in the US. I know a few law students, i've talked to a few lawyers, and i was thinking of law school myself so i did a little research. Nearly 50% of people who finish law school don't even become lawyers. They do something else. Over half of the lawyers in this country if you ask them if they started everything over and i mean before they went to lawschool, i'm 100% sure they'd say they'd never pursue law and would of liked to have done something else. It's tough finding placement as an attorney. You start off after lawschool working 60 hours a week and on $30,000 a year pay. If you graduate from an ivy-league like Harvard, Yale, Columbia, then you still start off 60 hours a week but $175,000 salary. So if you're in a non-ivy law school, you may end up working first 5 years making under $100,000 and those 5 years are tough. Then again after medical school you have residency. You also work around 22 hours a day everyday for 3-7 years depending on your area of study. As of this year residency students salary will rise to $75,000. Pharmacy, i don't know.
