Question about Pharmacy School Accelerated

[fererras]

Hey I have a question,

I currently work for a pharmaceutical company but want to pursue my pharmd as a career move. I have a 4 year marketing degree and a 2 year math and science both from different institutions. I have worked for this top pharmaceutical company for 7-8 months and decided pharma sales is not what I want to do. I am highly considering going to MCPHS and trying to get into their accelerated program and am just wondering how the school is and if I have a chance to get in. I have a 3.7 GPA for each of my degrees and was super involved in college and have done a ton of community service over the years. I have some real world pharmaceutical experience as well. I was wondering if anyone could lend me their thoughts especially those that have attended or currently attend MCPHS.

Thank You

Your gpa would certainly be competitive for MCPHS's 4 year program. The accelerated program usually draws more competitive applicants, to what extent i'm not sure. Either way you would put yourself in a good position to get accepted, provided the other pieces of your application were good. The fact you have worked in a pharmaceutical company would certainly help as well I would think.

From what I hear many people complain about the accelerated program at MCPHS, saying its incredible rigorous. They have a very low retention rate (comparatively) if I remember correctly. Beyond that I cannot comment since I don't go there.
