<p>Hi everyone</p>

<p>I'm a senior whose looking at schools with a PharmD program in which I do not have to reapply for the profressional phase. Can someone give me a list? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Campbell in NC
Wingate in NC?</p>

<p>When looking for a 0-6 program, check for the most recent info on their web sites. Some of the former 0-6 programs (like Duquesne) have changed to 2+4 programs for new applicants. </p>

<p>You may also want to look at the schools that you’d be interested in to see if any of them have a guarantee program for incoming freshmen. Depending on your profile, you might be eligible for a pharmacy guarantee to a 2+4 school.</p>

<p>University of Vermont has a program</p>

<p>Rutgers
USP
SUNY Buffalo</p>

<p>are the 2+4//0+6 best in the northeast</p>

<p>some schools are changing to 2-4 that were 0-6. Websites may not be up to date. Just a warning.</p>

<p>Hey I am currently a high school senior and I just got into the following 0-6 year PharmD programs and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me by giving me information about these programs that can help me determine which is the best program for me.</p>

<p>For example, which of these programs is most highly regarded? or does it not matter?</p>

<p>Northeastern University (Massachusetts)
St. John’s University (New York)
Rutgers University at New Brunswick (New Jersey)
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (Massachusetts)
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania)</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>My pharm kid advise me that St. John’s and Rutgers are the best of this batch. He votes for Rutgers, due to the pharmaceutical companies in NJ. A big plus is that the schools also offer many backup majors. This is important since pharmacy is such a tough program. A good question to ask is about their attrition rate even in the 0-6 programs.</p>

<p>I would say they’re all well-established and respected pharmacy schools and you should look at factors such as location, fit, costs, etc. to make your choice. If you want performance standards, perhaps the NAPLEX pass rates would be the best measure:

<p>I agree with neonzeus that having a back up major or other choices within the school is a very good idea. It’s very possible you’ll want to change your major once you get to college.</p>

<p>Very true. If I had a dollar for every pre-med/pharm/vet/etc that changed his/her major after the first year or two of college, I’d have a beach house in Newport. ;)</p>

<p>However, that doesn’t mean that you won’t stick with pharm. :)</p>

<p>You also need to consider finances. You don’t want to have to take out big loans to pay for 6 years of schooling and OOS publics won’t give you FA to cover their OOS costs.</p>

<p>So, is money an issue? If it is, what is your EFC and how much can your parents pay?</p>

<p>University of Pittsburgh and URI are some that haven’t been mentioned.</p>

<p>Also, for pharmacy there really is no need for concern about a pharmacy school’s prestige. Most people don’t know or don’t really care to know what school their pharmacist went to. Just find a program that retains its students in a location you would want to be in for more than half a decade and keeps the education cheap.</p>

<p>Thank you Schrizto for your comment!!! My son got accepted to the Northeastern’s pharmacy program but it is just too expensive for us to send him there. I just don’t know what to do at this point, so your comment helps me refocus. Thanks again.</p>

<p>When did you get accepted to the Rutgers PharmD program? According to the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy’s website, decision date is February 28. Thanks.</p>

<p>Northeastern is very expensive. Did he apply to MCPHS? They tend to offer alot of merit and other aid and may be the least expensive of the east coast 0-6’s. Also have him apply to some 2+4 schools with early assurance - SUNY Buffalo is very highly regarded for pharmacy and is very affordable, even for OOS.</p>

<p>I have a high school junior who is interested in a pharmacy major. Where are the most reasonable schools for him to apply to? We have 5 kids and dh owns his own business. Last year he almost had to declare bankruptcy but this year has been better. DS has a 4.3 gpa (weighted) but hasn’t taken ACT or SAT yet (will in next few weeks). He is most interested in a 6 year pharm d or the 2 plus 4 that people have mentioned here. Does anyone know anything about Ohio State University’s pharmacy program? From the website, I can’t tell if it is a 6 year program- or maybe an 8 year? University of Toledo is near us. Ohio Northern might be too pricey- does anyone know what kind of aid they give. We also are near University of Findlay. His final in-state option is Univ. of Cincinnati.</p>

<p>I would love any insight as we begin the college search project. Congrats to all who have been accepted already!</p>

<p>Are there any programs you can still apply for?</p>

<p>We are in the same situation as you (looking for resonable pharmacy schools in Ohio). My husband is a pharmacist and our daughter wants to go to Pharmacy School. We have begun researching Ohio programs as the 0+6 OOS (out of state) seem all WAY too expensive and hard to get scholarship money for OOS students. Here’s what we have learned so far:
Ohio State is now 4-4 - you must have a bachelor’s degree before beginning the pharmacy program.
Toledo - 2-4 BUT reasonable cost. (Approx. $20,000/yr)
Cincinnati - 2-4 BUT reasonable cost. (Approx. $20,000/yr)
Ohio Northern (my daughter is a legacy there) - 0-6 but EXTREMELY expensive. 2009-2010 tuition plus room and board and fees is about $44,000. But they seem to offer alot of scholarship opportunities.
