Does anybody here go to St. Louis College of Pharmacy?

I"m looking to go to SLCOP also, I just visited the school yesterday. It's a beautiful campus and the labs seem well equipped. Apparently most of the staff wrote the textbooks you use and are willing to help as much as needed for you to understand the concepts. \n\nAlso students are given laptops to take to class so most things are done through those computers. \n\nThe school just went through a $32 million renovation (including the dorms which are very...very nice in comparison to some I've seen).\n\nSo overall it seems like a good place to go.  A lot of work, but that's to be expected of a 6 year program.

Chemistry is the important one but the others match nicely too. If you go to www.ucas.com and do a course search, the different universities that offer pharmacy will tell you any specific requirements that they have, in terms of subjects at A Level. I do know though that as long as you have chemistry and any other subjects that each specific uni is asking for, it is absolutely fine for you to do another subject that you perhaps really enjoy but isn't related to your other subjects - psychology for example. It might make you a more interesting candidate amongst the tons of students all studying straight sciences. \n\nAlso, don't be afraid to ring some of the universities up (not around the time the results come out though!) and ask for the admissions tutor - or send them an e-mail. Some will be a little offhand but most will be helpful and pleased that you have taken the initiative to find out.\n\nHope this helps and good luck!

I can't help you with the Virginia State part, but I can help with the OSU.\n\nI'm not in the college of pharmacy, but I do know the University as a whole.  It is really great.  Really friendly, outgoing, and fun people.  A lot of time is spent enjoying the sun in the spring when we get a break from the rain and you're always welcome to join a game of Frisbee, baseball, football, soccer, whatever.\n\nYou may get a really cool advisor who is totally willing to help you with anything and there are some really really awesome teachers.  If you do go here, Dr. Greaves' human sexuality (hdfs 240) is the most popular class on campus and the best one.\n\nThe campus is beautiful and perfectly manicured.  I don't recommend coming here if you have strong allergies though.  Also, remember that OSU was originally an agriculture school so on occasion you'll wake up to the "farm fresh" smell!!!\n\nOoooooooSsssssUuuuuuuuu! OSU!!!\n\n*Edit*  One more thing, OSU is a very liberal University.  We do have a strong conservative club if you're into that...but just be prepared.  Also, we're very political.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! You don't need a school for pharmacy tech Just go buy a study guide for the test study it and you will pass It's not hard at all and you are just throwing away 100's of dollars to pay someone to go over the test with you such as those school...the next testing date is in Sept.

Hi,\n\nI'm currently a 6th year student and will be graduating in May with my PharmD from Rutgers.  With some bias, I would highly recommend it.  The straight 6 program at Rutgers is a great way to go, but is extremely hard to get into and it's competitive admissions process is only increasing(I was on the admissions committee).  All pharmacy schools will offer you relatively the same education, a lot of what you learn comes from how hard you work.(just like everything else, cliche, I know.)  For admissions reasons, you might have to undergo interviews, so I would recommend a job at a local pharmacy when you are able, some might have age limitations.  As to the second part of the question, a pharmacist with a doctorate in pharmacy has a vast amount of opportunities from working in a local pharmacy to a position in the pharmaceutical industry(especially in the northeast).  A pharmacist in the local drug store (ie CVS) makes good pay and works to advise patients and make sure that the medication dispensed is correct.  Also a lot of recommendations on what over the counter products to use.  I plan on working in a hospital and will be doing a pharmacy residency next year so that I can be a clinical pharmacist in the hospital.  I think I touched on all aspects of your question at least a little.  If you have any other questions about this just type an answer that asks for some more specifics.

Hey, i go to saint louis university school of law. I did not do my undergraduate work here at SLU (pronounced sloo), but i know SLU has a great reputation. Our campus is gorgeous and it is in the heart of st. louis. There are plenty of fun things to see and do that are near the campus. SLU is actually the first university to be founded in the United States that is west of the Mississippi River. It has a long history of great academics. I think you would really enjoy this school.\n\nOnly flaw: very expensive. I hope you have scholarships. Good luck.

Go to your local pharmacy and ask to do a job shadow.  That is where you watch what they do for a day.  A lot of places will let you do this.  I am a Certified and licensed Pharmacy Technician.  I went to school for 18 months, and did an internship at a hospital and retail pharmacy setting.  They are so desparate for pharmacists some even help pay for college.  Or 'grow their own' to keep up with the demand for skilled pharmacists.  If you do decide to go into pharmacy, look for a pharmacy that does compounding.  It is very interesting to watch them make ointments, capsules, suppositories ect.  To be honest I dont really like pharmacy that much because it's too chaotic.  I would have liked it better if I could be in the compounding room actually making the drugs.  Remember...COMPOUNDING PHARMACY!  Also, retail pharmacy is more chaoctic than a hospital setting.

Both my cousins went there for teaching.  Been there once, its a very nice place to live.  Its a college town though.  But its nice.  And Eastern is a very good school.  Are you going for teaching? Lots of restaurants and such.

My husband just graduated from pharmacy school in May.  School was pretty hard, he had to study A LOT.  I think in the long run its really worth it though.  The pay is pretty nice once you're finished with it all.  Just remember, being a pharmacist isn't always about working retail (Walgreens).  There are plenty of hospital jobs out there where you deal with patients on a daily basis.  My husband meets one on one with patients daily and loves everything about it.  He would never say that his job is boring.  I do have friends that work retail though and they also really like that.  They do complain though that sometimes they feel like they're not using their education fully.

My friend does.  She really likes it.  She transfered there from Virginia Commonweath (VCU) in Richmond and loves GWU now.  She is just finishing her junior year and no complaints so far.  :)
