UConn v. UMass

<p>I want to apply to pre-pharmacy and I'm OOS for both. I really don't care about the social aspect as long as I get a good education. I want to go to a good professional pharmacy school. So which one do you recommend if I had to choose one only from these colleges and why?</p>

<p>I can’t speak to the pharmacy programs, but we visited both when Ds were applying to school.</p>

<p>U Conn is ranked higher in USNWR (60’s vs 90s) if that means anything to you. I thought the campuses each had a similar feel when we visited. I guess that’s a reason, though not compelling. </p>

<p>If one school offered you an honors program, and the other didn’t, I would give serious thought to taking that. Similarly, if one offered significantly more (merit or otherwise) money.</p>

<p>So – UConn, based on slightly better reputation, unless you really loved UMass were offered more money or honors program there.</p>

<p>You’re right, I think I’m gonna go with UConn; it has a good pharm program. Thanks for your input :)</p>
