is it only a outstanding student can be a pharmacist? be a pharmacist must have good memory is it?

Answer 1

A College of pharmacy just opened in South Texas (Texas A&M - Kingsville). It is the first professional school in Texas south of San Antonio. Just as with any other professional school (e.g. law, medicine) pharmacy school is rigorous and requires much commitment. To answer the question,
the vast majority of students who succesfully complete professional school are usually accurately described as "outstanding" students. Memory is a big part of it indeed. Just as a doctor must have a good memory, so must a pharmacist. There are some programs that are not as competitive as the one described by the first poster, with a 10% admission. Most programs admit a higher percentage, but don't be fooled, they ALL reject the majority of applicants. I advise anyone applying to professional school to aim for AT LEAST a 3.5 GPA, with a good deal of coursework relevant to the field (obviously the sciences for mecical or pharmacy) - a great deal of chemistry and biology and to a lesser extent physics. Also, test scores are EXTREMELY important. The PCAT is no easy test. I describe it as a more rigorous GRE with the addition of chemistry and biology sections. In addition to GPA and PCAT scores, you should distinguish yourself in your undergraduate career - join honor societies when invited to do so, participate in the honors program if your university has one, etc. To answer your question once again, yes, a pharmacist will have been an outstanding student.

[edit] Qualifications and registration

The basic requirement for pharmacists to be considered for registration is an undergraduate or postgraduate Pharmacy degree from a recognized university. In most countries this involves a four-year course to attain a Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) degree. However in the United States, to become a registered pharmacist, students graduating after 1998 must complete a Doctor of Pharmacy degree which takes six years from an accredited college of pharmacy. In the United States, a Bachelor of Science (BPharm) degree in Pharmacy will not be sufficient to become a licensed or registered pharmacist in any state. Any college graduate who has graduated on or prior to 1998 is grandfathered and can register, however new students after 1998 must complete the Doctor of Pharmacy program or PharmD.

In order to practice as a pharmacist, the person must be registered with the relevant statutory body, which governs the registration and practice of pharmacy within the territory of its jurisdiction. There is often a requirement for the pharmacy graduate to have completed a certain number of hours of experience in a pharmacy, under the supervision of a registered pharmacist. The statutory body will usually administer a written and oral examination to the prospective pharmacist prior to registration.

Answer 3

One would think so, but in general there are bright students and not-so-bright students that make it into graduate-level programs, the latter typically to fulfill demographic quotas, or because of "connections" they might have

Answer 4

hard work is just as important as smarts. there are tons of more competitive fields out there. being a pharmacist isn't a big deal.. kind of like dentists- they're probably only there for the money. which is messed up
