Top 10 Schools of Pharmacy?

Applying to College
1

I wanted to go to a pharmacy school, but sadly I didn’t notice until now that I don’t know many of the pharmacy schools… Except Rutgers and er… UCSF?

<p>I believe UCSF is only graduate, and has no undergrad program.</p>

<p>A friend of mine recently passed up Berkeley for USC Pharmacy School for undergrad (more selective?). It's supposedly good.</p>

<p>St Johns University in NYC</p>

<p>Did a google search. Here are results hope this helps</p>

<p>Is there an undergrade pharmacy school like Rutgers School of Pharmacy?
The school offers a 6 year program of pharm.D which means a student can enter directly from highschool without taking any pre-pharm classes</p>

<p>I never really understood pharmacy schools. Can somebody explain the process to me? Is it like med school where one enters in after 4-5 years of undergrad? or is it a program that one enters in for 6 years after high school?</p>

<p>Supposedly your suppose to go to any college you want but you have to take the required "pre-pharm" or "prerequisite(?)" courses that the pharmacy school wants you to do. After you take those, you take the test PCAT I think... and you apply to a 4year pharmacy school... But schools like Rutgers offers a 6 year pharm.D program which allows the student to directly enter the pharmacy school without the need of taking the "pre" courses. What I am trying to find out is what other schools offer the 6year pharm.D program??</p>

<p>In almost all schools you can just take two years of prereqs and then apply to transfer into the Pharmacy school, getting only a PharmD and thus taking 6 years out of high school for a degree. All the combined program guarantees is that you don't have to apply for transfer, ensuring you a spot in the school's pharmacy program. You can get out in six years either way.</p>
