Get in touch with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy:\nhttp://www.nabp.net/index.asp?target=/lictransfer/intro.asp&\n\nThey can tell you if you are eligible for licensure.\n\nIf not, one possibility is to see if you can transfer your license to a country or provence that is recognized by the United States.  Don't know if Puerto Rico would work.\n\nIf none of these work you would probably have to go through the pharmacy program here.\n\nIf you have to go through the pharmacy program here, check and see if the pharmacy school will accept some courses towards the basics. If they won't, check and see if a school such as Excelsior will recognize your credits.\nhttps://www.excelsior.edu/portal/page?_pageid=57,1&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL\n\nIt all depends on how badly you want to practice pharmacy in this country.  Wish you luck

Yes it is hard to get in to Pharm School.  My roomate was pharm student.  \n\nIf you apply yourself it'll be alright.  But you'll have to be really good at memorization (in terms of medications and their generics) and you'll have to do a lot of chemistry. \n\n Most Pharmacy students ONLY study.  But it is well worth it in the long run because you'll make really good money when you graduate.  \n\nHe went to Ferris State university in Big Rapids, Michigan which is great school for Pharmacy.   Good Luck!

Well, obviously, you need a good background in science, especially chemistry and biology.  But go online to a pharmacy school (or two or three) that you might be interested in attending, and there will be information there.  What we tell you here doesn't matter nearly as much as what the particular school requires of you.\n\nAs an example, here is the information from the USC Pharmacy school.  But check out some others as well. Good luck.\n\nPre-pharmacy Course Requirements\nA minimum of 90 semester or 135 quarter units must be completed prior to entrance, with a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

find out which major university is nearest to your house (if you dont plan on moving away to go to pharmacy school.) i go to duquesne university pharmacy school. i'm in my last year of school. if you want to take all of the undergraduate classes at community college, tell your community college advisor that you are interested in pharmacy school. bring with you the undergraduate prerequisites from the major universities website. (mine would be www.duq.edu for duquesne), and follow links to pharmacy school, and undergrad courses. every university has the curriculum laid out as to what they require students to take in order to be eligible for the "professional phase" of pharmacy school (which basically means--all my undergrad courses are finished and i can now learn real pharmacy stuff.)\nif you get all of your undergraduate courses finished at community college, apply to the major university every year you are in community college (because they may get more pharmacy school applicants one year versus the next), and the earlier you apply the better. ALSO, go down to the major university and go to the pharmacy school offices and try to schedule a meeting with one of the advisors and find out what they have to say. You could probably give them a call and schedule some sort of meeting. I actually transferred into duquesne from pitt, so i needed to do a lot of this process. I do know that the earlier you get out of the community college and into the major university the better off you are!\nhope this helps!

Actually it's between a Pharm D (Doctorate) and a Masters (RPH) if you want to work in the US as a pharmacist.  The B.S. will prolly on let you work as a Pharmacy Assistant under the direction of a Registered Pharmacist

There are several ways in which ranking can be done. US news rankings for example ranks University of California on the top. BUt then there are other surveys wherein Rutgers comes on the top.\n\nHowever, what is important to know that by the end of Pharmacy (D. Pharm) degree, one gets the licence to work as a pharnasist..and so the school is important but not exclusively important criterion for the program in pharmacy. One should make a good choice depending upon your resources.\n\nUniversity of Maryland, Duke, UTexas are some good names..Institute of Sciences in Philadelphia is one of the finest institutes too. Hope this helps you a bit. Best.

I can speak for the University of Houston.  My good friend graduated from there less than a year ago and got a starting pharmacy job at Albertson's for 96k with a 20k signing bonus paid over 3 years.  Those numbers sound good enough to me to pick that school.
