This Question Is From: Pharmacy Technician Schools in Wisconsin and has 1 Answer
Ok, so currently I’m pretty set on becoming a pharmacist and have received admission to the following schools: Drake University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Purdue University, and University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Michigan.
Now, here are there pharmacy graduate program rankings (I’ll be undergrad but this is for the future)
UMICH- #2
UIC- #9
Purdue #9
Wisc- #11
Drake (in des moines) #51
Now, right now Drake is my first choice because it’s not huge like wisc and not right next door like UIC.. Michigan is verrrry expensive an purdue is also one of those schools that has gigantic lectures and overall populations.
My question is though, would it be a mistake to choose drake over the other schools? I mean, How much to employers look at the ranking of the school when you apply for a job? I know Michigan is very prestigious, but it’s also a big school and very expensive. I read somewhere that going to drake might hurt you in getting a job because it’s not well known and not as prestigious (it is a good pharmacy school though #51 isn’t bad). Also, it’s in Des Moines, not a terribly large/well known city.
Is it possible to go to drake’s undergrad and transfer to UMICH for grad? or would they not accept my credits?
Please, I really need advice on where I should go!
