<p>Does anyone have 0-6 pharmacy school suggestions that are great?
I live Pittsburgh, I've been looking into Pitt(cond. acceptance), Duquesne, URI, Buffalo, Rutgers, and Northeastern. What do you suggestion?</p>
<p>Also, any suggestions for PharmD/PhD joint programs?</p>
<p>Cheers,

<p>How will I finance my education at the at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy?</p>
<p>The University of Michigan College of Pharmacy offers the most generous financial aid package of any pharmacy school in the U.S.</p>
<p>Case in point: In 2009, our financial support to PharmD students surpassed $1,000,000. These were not loans, but actual scholarship awards. We will distribute even more grant-in-aid support this year.</p>
<p>No other pharmacy school in the U.S. comes close to this level of grant support.</p>
<p>Each year, every 3rd and 4th year Pharm.D. student that applies receive merit- and need-based financial support, with an average annual grant, per student, of $6,000. In addition, all students with a grade point average of 3.6 or better are awarded Dean’s Scholarships, and qualified first-year students can also compete for Academic Recognition Scholarships.</p>
<p>Many colleges of pharmacy will show you a low list price. Don’t take it at face value. When you factor in our exceptional grant-in-aid awards (which continue to increase annually), our PharmD degree is cost competitive with any PharmD degree-granting program in the U.S.</p>
<p>Remember this: All PharmD degrees are not equal.</p>
<p>For more than 128 years, the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy has been a recognized world leader in pharmacy education. A Michigan PharmD degree is synonymous with superior ability, high achievement, intellectual rigor, and quality.</p>
<p>If your goal is to own a degree from one of the world’s premier colleges of Pharmacy, Michigan is the right place for you.</p>
<p>University of Michigan is probably a reach for this poster.
A “conditional acceptance” at Pitt indicates this to me.</p>
<p>“Does anyone have 0-6 pharmacy school suggestions that are great?”</p>
<p>I was just responding to this part of the inquiry. :-)</p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies!<br>

Does Michigan have the joint PharmD/PhD program? I don’t think Michigan is a 0-6, I think it might be a 2+4 school for pharm.</p>

I think your response is offensive and rude. The assumption that Michigan is a reach for me is not correct. I could easily get accepted into Michigan and what I mean “conditional acceptance” for Pitt is that if I maintain a QPA of 3.5 for the first 2 years, I automatically get into the 4 year pharm program. That’s what conditional acceptance for Pitt means.</p>

<p>First of all, Michigan is not a safety school for just about anyone. Secondly, Michigan does has a preferred admissions program that I suppose would work similarly to the one at Pittsburgh. If indeed you are a top student, you really should look into it. :-)</p>

<p>I second Michigan and Northeastern University. Both are very difficult to get into (at least fi your OOS for MI; Northeastern is difficult regardless of where you live).</p>
<p>Duquesne, URI, Buffalo, and Rutgers are all good safeties. </p>
<p>You may want to add some additional safeties like UConn or Temple.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses rjkofnovi and informative. I’ll look into the Michigan preffered program. How hard is to get into say University of Florida, Purdue or IUC? </p>
<p>Buffalo and Pitt are atop the Pharm list for schools.</p>
<p>I have a kid in Buffalo’s School of Pharmacy, who chose Buffalo over Pitt because its cost was signficantly lower (even though we’re in-state for Pitt). SUNY Buffalo was very generous with scholarships, and has a new School of Pharmacy building. On the other hand, Pitt is a very vibrant university in a nice city, with access to premier hospitals.</p>
<p>Purdue is not a 0-6 program and is pretty difficult to get in just from sheer numbers that apply. The last few years they’ve had between 800-1100 applicants for 165 spots. Average age is 22 which means most will have a bachelor’s before admittance. </p>
<p>If you’re willing to head to the midwest-what about Butler in Indianapolis? They have a good 0-6 program.</p>
<p>UConn is not a 0-6 program. It is a 2+4. Great college atmosphere. I am a parent with a D there. D was admitted to UConn from oos as a freshman (UConn Pharm gives preference to their own students) It has been a great decision. If you have your heart set on a 0-6 (and can afford it) I’d would recommend Butler also.</p>
