I'm a highschool sophmore considering pharmacy. I love chemistry and math, so I thought it might be a good fit for me. Everything I read says that pharmacy is a great profession, but that getting into a college is extremely competitve. What I'm wondering is have you, or anyone you know, ever been rejected from a pharmacy school. Were you trying hard? did you have good grades? had you worked at a PharmAssitant at all before applying?
Thanks for the insight!

Very few schools will accept students direct from high school. I personally volunteered in a hospital pharmacy. The overall acceptable rate is about 1 in 3 or so. I know of many people who were not accepted.

I commend you on looking up information on a career in pharmacy at a young age.
Many people get rejected from pharmacy school every single year. IN fact, I believe more students get rejected than accepted due to the fact that a lot of students are applying., Many do not know how to apply. I recommend that you do not fo the pharmassistant thing. I do not believe in those programs. I actually have a tip ebook and a further in depth "how to get into pharmacy school" ebook out.

yup, had one friend got rejected 3 times (he had a 4.0 average all the works), he got in this year. and another one got rejected twice before he got in.
Dont quit trying. Sometimes pharmacy department want some people to have had taken a 1st or up to 2nd year university courses.
Keep trying, I am sure you will get in!

Take this time off and try to get an internship. maybe take some extra classes to show them you are interested in pharmacy school
