I think you have a good chance of getting in to Rutgers pharmacy.

As for which one should you go to, I suggest Rutgers, but mainly because of its in-state tuition.

I don’t know how good the pharmacy program at UNC is though.

UNC all the way. You’d be shortchanging yourself if you chose Rutgers over UNC.

UNC is a very good school, but Rutgers isn’t bad for pharmacy. I would say that going out of state to UNC for six years for the PharmD program is going to cost you about $165,000 more than going for 6 years in-state at Rutgers.

There’s no way a PharmD is worth that kind of premium.

Please check the tuition and fees listed on the school’s websites for yourself:

UNC has a top notch Pharmacy school, but really though, that OOS tuition might be a bit excessive, so I would probably pick Rutgers for the in-state tuition.

The Naplex pass rate for both should be very good. Instate tuition should be cheaper.

It has links to tables showing instate and out of state tuition rates for year P1 to P4 of pharmacy schools. You also need to add housing, food and tuition for prepharmacy years to get the total cost.
