<p>hi all.. so i want ot be a pharmacist, and i have yet to be admissioned into UCSD (i did submit the application though!) but the other day we have a weird sub, who went about "criticizing every school" he apparently made it funny by the things he said, but still when he was talking about UCSD i felt pretty insulted (for some very strange reason-- even though i am still in HS)</p>
<p>he was talking about how there is a lot of competition at UCSd, how friends spit in the platter of another friend so that their lab would get screwed up, etc. the highest suicide rate at any school, and all.. the thing that caught me most was that he said that Skaggs Med. School accepts less students who went to UCSD? is this true?i want to go to skaggs cuz of their pharmacy, but i was just wondering..</p>
<p>maybe you shouldn’t believe a teacher who doesn’t even know the schools he’s talking about.</p>
<p>skaggs is the PHARMACY school. it’s in no way affiliated with the school of medicine.</p>
<p>oh okay astrina haha.
yeah i was thinking the same, i didn’t believe it, but i wanted to make sure.
does the pharm school also take lower amounts of students from UCSD?</p>
<p>You should try the 7-year B.S./Pharm.D. program.</p>
<p>the majority of my pre-pharmacy friends ended up attending UCSD and UCSF. i don’t know about how the SOM admissions works, but in pharmacy it’s been beneficial for those people to have been UCSD undergrads applying to their own institution. </p>
<p>my roommate’s research advisor wrote an excellent letter of rec and presumably had some backdoor connection because he knew of her acceptance before she did. our home department (chemistry) has several professors who lecture for the pharmacy students, and students working in their labs would have a possible advantage as well. </p>
<p>UOP also has an accelerated pharmacy program.</p>
<p>The Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences only accepts 60 people per year; 20 of those who are accepted have to be from UCSD and the rest are from the other schools.</p>
