I’m a dual degree program with a local school that, as long as I keep a certain GPA, will guarantee me to Rutgers.
USciences and Albany have acceptance rates of 64%. Mass has an acceptance rate of around 80%. Those percentages might be a little outdated but just know that those percentages are the general range.
Those schools are very good (Just to mention because I forgot before that Albany now requires the PCAT to be taken after 2nd year/before you go onto 3rd year, but generally you are an early assurance). Many people go there for pharmacy and other professions and attain their PharmD and get a job just fine. They are all located in urban areas by hospitals; they are small but prepare you fine for pharmacy.
USciences is good–probably out of all of them the best school. It’s the first/oldest pharmacy school in the country and has great connections with the pharmacy industry in Philadelphia and the tri-state area (NJ, PA, DE). All the schools I mentioned are pretty small but I don’t think you would be losing out on the college experience. The students you will encounter there are different; they’re all STEM students devoted to a professional career. That’s why they chose that school however you wouldn’t be missing out on anything.
No job is guaranteed but if you do well in school and make connections for yourself through internships, shadowing, and rotations, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a job.
