<p>My kid has been happy at Buffalo and will be a pharmacy student there next year. The prepharm advisor was very helpful. Buffalo is adding some new prereqs for its pharmacy program, which may make the program closer to a 3+4 instead of a 2+4. </p>
<p>More schools are moving to make their programs grad programs, and the prereqs vary widely. Some schools require a year of calculus based physics, some require macro or micro-economics, some require anatomy or microbiology, etc. Meeting different prereqs if you plan on applying to several schools is tough. If you might be applying to several schools, you need to be very focused when taking electives to make sure they meet prereqs. You may also end up taking some summer school credits. This is a key reason why 0-6 programs or guaranteed admission programs are so desirable - especially since competition is stiff for openings through general applications. There are fewer and fewer 0-6 programs. Duquesne, for example, used to offer one but doesn’t anymore. You probably have to go to each pharmacy school that you’re considering to determine what it’s prereqs are.</p>
