looking for schools with PharmD programs

<p>I'm a junior and planning to go into pharmacy. My sister is currently in a med program at drexel that takes her right to med school without applying. All she has to do is keep her GPA up and score a certain score on her MCATs. I thought that there would be pharmacy programs as well. I wanted to know what schools have a PharmD program so I would know where to apply next year. I could also gauge what SAT score I should try for. So far, I know USP has one but thats it. If anyone could give me a list, that would be great.</p>

<p>Sounds like you're looking for a "0-6" program - this list will get you started. Some programs only require you maintain a certain GPA, others (like ACP)will require a certain score on the PCAT, GPA, and possibly an interview to advance. Duquesne is no longer a 0-6 school. There's also schools like Butler U in Indianapolis, Wilkes U, and SUNY Buffalo which offer conditional acceptances. If you search pharmacy on these boards you'll likely come up with some average SAT numbers or you can PM me and I'll give you the ones I know, which are all in the northeast.</p>

<p>Try the University Of Pittsburgh, it has a top 10 or 20 pharmacy program, is in a great city (highly underrated), has conditional acceptance, and is very well known for anything nursing, pharmacy, med related because of it's relationship with the University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center</p>

<p>Here's info about its PharmD program: School</a> of Pharmacy- Admissions</p>

<p>I would be uncomfortable with committing to a career choice at 17. Part of the goal of college is to make you well rounded and give you new experiences. The average person changes careers something like 7 times. 7 times. People who commit to the debt of professional schools do not have that opportunity until much later in their career and by that time, it all seems somewhat like a bucket list fantasy. If you are competitive enough to apply for pharmd programs at 17 you probably will be at 19 as well.</p>

<p>i am also a junior and planning to major in pharmacy. i have already planned this ever since i was in 6th grade. i am also looking for college with pharmD programs. maybe you can help me as well. i am planning to plan to UW, USC, Stanford, and WSU. i heard these schools have the pharmD program. but i dont know about Stanford and WSC. maybe you can check those schools? and tell me?</p>

<p>thanks for the info guys! it helped. If i could just ask one more question. I wanted to know if anyone knows any colleges and programs that could get me a dual degree. I'm actually looking into PharmD/MBA. If anyone has any info about that, it would be great. thanks.</p>

<p>University of pittsburgh has one that is 6 years (can be conditional, meaning they reserve a spot for you in the program when you get in during your senior year).
Rutgers also has one, and I'm pretty sure USP has one as well.
I'm not sure about PharmD/MBA dual degrees, but after your 6 years of pharmacy and undergrad, you can apply for an MBA program separately. since it's only 6 years for your bachelor's and pharmD, getting a separate MBA degree won't be too bad..</p>
