<p>I have been accepted to </p>
<p>Northeastern
Univ. Rhode Island
St. john's
Albany College of Pharmacy</p>
<p>Which one would you chose?</p>
<p>I like Northeastern the best, but it is the most expensive.
And I live only 15 miles from Albany Pharmacy, so I could commute if I had to.</p>
<p>any thoughts?</p>
<p>Northeastern is good...you can also get an MBA along with a pharm D in 6 years.</p>
<p>How did you hear back from st. john's already? I applied to their Pharm program and was told that we hear back march 15th</p>
<p>Well, if you like NEU the best....I guess the real question is, how big of an issue is the cost? Could you afford NEU without accumulating crushing debt?</p>
<p>Well considering she is gonna be a pharmacist and this is a 0-6 program meaning she is basically into grad school, she can afford to take on a quite bit of debt that she shouldnt have as big of a problem paying off witha starting salary around 90k :)</p>
<p>From what I know about these schools (researching online & talking to people in the field), they all seem to be pretty good. My daughter is considering these same schools, so if you don't mind me asking... is there a big difference in the cost? Did they give you any merit money? Why do you like Northeastern the best?</p>
<p>NEU has a great location and superb academics. Seems like the best choice to me. If NEU has co-ops for pharm majors, that might be a big draw, too!</p>

Here is a list of pros and cons of the program in another thread.</p>
<p>NEU is in a great loction, right in the City of Boston but still has a campus feel & Co-Op seems like a plus. Large school with a lot of activities and choices.</p>
<p>They gave me a Prelim. financial package of $26,000 per year for 4 years, which included $5000 in loans that would have to be paid back. (so $19,000 free) Tuition, room & board is about $46,000.</p>
<p>Albany College of Pharm gave me $12,000 (all free) a year for all 6-years (need to maintain a 3.2 gpa). Tuition, room & board $28,000.</p>
<p>But its a small school with limited choices outside of healthcare field and limited activities.</p>
<p>Do be aware that Albany COP is currently under probation by the ACPE for losing too many students from its entering class. That's the case with any 0-6 high school program - the attrition rates are atrociously high and a lot of people lose a lot of time and money out of a program without realizing what they're truly in for.</p>
