I am a New Jersey high school senior and wish to be a pharmacist someday. Rutgers is the only school that has the pharmacist program, and it is a good school for sure. However, it seems that it is only the 27th best pharmacy school in the nation, according to a list of ranked pharmacy schools.
Some people are saying that the school that you graduate from does not really matter, as long as you have good grades. NOW I AM CONFUSED. Should I then bother to apply to UMich in Michigan, which is the 3rd best pharmacy school in our nation according to the list but will definitely have a higher tuition? Help me out, please~ THANK YOU.

No, no one cares except if you are trying to get an academic position.
UMich is a 2+4 school, and Rutgers is a 0+6 school.

It does not matter which pharmacy school you go to. Just as long as you have a license and could practice, then you are a pharmacist anywhere you go in the US.
2+4 year program is basically where you do 2 years of your undergrad finishing up the requirements in order to get into pharmacy school. The 4 years is the time that you are going spend in pharmacy school as opposed to the undergrad school.
Hope this helps!

Pre-Pharm like Pre-Med isn't a substantial yet extra of an advising music or checklist of cautioned training to take. I went to a school, for prePharm, which had a pharmacy application, yet there are a number of pharm scholars who went to high schools that have not got a application. while you're on the two year prePharm music, you will likely not could call a substantial. the main hassle-loose majors are biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. California is the toughest state, in terms of admissions. you will need closer to a three.5 GPA, and that's additionally actual at somewhat some pharmacy colleges. it incredibly is annoying to get right into a school, era. my very own college has an attractiveness cost of a million in 9. the final favourite GPA for effectual applicants is approximately 3.4-3.5.

When you are first applying for pharmacy jobs they will look at the university that you graduated from and the grades that you got there. There are not a ton of pharmacy schools, so odds are your future employers will be somewhat familiar with the school's program and how difficult it is.
If you are looking for a school kind of close to where you live check out the University of Sciences in Philadelphia. It is one of the oldest programs in the country and it is a respected program.

I assure you it makes no difference where you graduate from. Everyone takes the same license exam no matter where you graduated from. It would only make a difference if you went on to teach at the university level or possibly went into research.
My paycheck does not have the name of the university I graduated from nor does it have my GPA. Go where ever you can get into and can afford.

If you're major concern in going into pharmacy is the money, I would suggest doing something else. There are much better ways to make money.
