<p>gwt2017:</p>
<p>We ended up going with UConn, which has worked out well for my daughter. She decided during her first year that she didn’t want to stick with business, so she began taking pre-pharmacy courses in her 2nd year. She took the PCAT exam and was admitted in the pharmacy program at UConn, where she is about to complete her first year.</p>
<p>Of course we will never know what would have happened had she gone to UNC, but she is happy at UConn. UNC also has a pharmacy program that operates pretty much the same way, so she would have had to apply for admission to that program also.</p>
<p>Essentially she would end up going six years with either program, but the extra cost of attending UNC would have been increased by two years.</p>
<p>Also, she has taken summer courses at UConn, some of which were at a local campus right in the city we live in. This would have been much more difficult to pull off at UNC.</p>
<p>I will agree with the above poster that I don’t believe that the “Honors” designation will mean that much after she graduates, although of course she can put it on her resume.</p>
<p>But if she stays in the Connecticut area after graduating I think that she will make out just fine having a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from UConn. UConn is ranked 22nd vs. UNC’s ranking of 20th for public school pharmacy programs by FindTheBest.com.</p>
