<p>Hey everyone, I'm a female high school senior from California and I'm planning on pursuing pharmacy and I've applied to the following schools and under the conditions below, I'd like to know which school(s) you would choose to go to if you were presented with those conditions and why.</p>

<p>USC- TAP program- graduate in 7 years. Closest to home. No financial aid offered whatsoever so basically I'm paying for ALL 7 years. </p>

<p>Northeastern University- graduate in 6 years. Moving wayyyyy out of state. Maybe a few thousand dollars for financial aid. Co-op program that it offers is supposed to be really good and will lower my tuition costs as I enter sophomore year.</p>

<p>Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences- graduate in 6 years. Also moving way out of state. $12k offered in financial aid. Supposedly in a nice area and nice work guarantee.</p>

<p>St. John's (New York)- graduate in 6 years. Also moving way out of state. $10k offered in financial aid. Urban area I think? </p>

<p>University of the Pacific- graduate anywhere from 5-7 years. In state. Somewhat close to home. Probably $10k will be offered at most. Decent area and also pretty good work guarantee (supposedly).</p>

<p>Northeastern if you don't mind the co-op program. It works for some and doesn't work for others. It has a good name, good program, only 6 years, some financial aid.</p>

<p>MCPHS - I used to be a BIG supporter of this school, but then I began talking to other people (I was going into Health Psychology, but I talked to some students in Pharm) and they said the professors aren't very helpful and a lot of people are pretty anti-social that go there. Of course, it is Boston, and I'm just talking about the school itself.</p>
