Whats Harder to get into Med School Or Pharmacy School?

Question

Hi, Im A College Student @ Queensborough College, I talked to my adviser and I told him I want a career in pharmacy, and he told me its almost impossible to get into one because its highly competitive, And my Alternative is to get into Med School to be an M.D. and i heard thats Competitive too. So Can anyone Help me wit sum advise and tell me which one i have a better chance of getting into, Pharmacy School Or Med School

Answer 1

You're going strictly on the basis of competition. I'd say both fields are competitive, of course, but whether or not you'd be accepted in either school would depend on your scholastic record, and other requirements that would have to be fulfilled. I would suggest that you apply to both schools, and compete with academic abilities rather than the probability of which school you'd have a better shot at. It doesn't make a bit of difference how competitive the fields of pharmacy and medicine are. What's important is what you present to either. A word of advice, though. Don't use expressions such as "wit sum" on your applications, or they will end up in the round file.
Good luck!

Med school definitely... MCAT questions are soooooo much harder than PCAT questions. The MCAT is like a slap in the face its so difficult. Plus you have to score pretty high for them to accept you without a bachelor's degree.
