<p>I've been accepted by both - NYU CAS would cost 14k per year and St. John's would cost 72k for 6 years. Right now, I feel great about being a pharmacist but the thing is, throughout these four years of high school, I've been pretty unsure about what kind of future I want, going from computers to medicine and now to pharmacy. I'm really interested in health professions, whether it be a doctor or pharmacist or researcher, but right now, a pharmacist is what I want to be. If I do go to NYU, I'd have a Pre-Med concentration setting up for Med School, but I'd have some flexibility when it comes to switching majors and so on. At St. John's Pharm program, however, you take classes that are tailored around pharmacy and nothing else. It's nearly impossible to transfer in, according to the dean of the School of Pharm and you MUST be transferring in from another pharmacy program to even apply. Plus, if I decide I don't want to be a pharmacist sometime within that time, I've lost all that time, because the classes I take for that program won't be good for any other degree. The plus is that I'd come out into a field where my position is highly sought and very well-paying.</p>
<p>Basically, this decision boils down to wanting a better education and flexibility at NYU or wanting a set path to a career I really like right now at St. John's, and with pharmacists currently being in demand right now, I feel that getting that well-paying job shouldn't be THAT hard.</p>
<p>What do you all think?</p>
