This Question Is From: Pharmacy Technician Schools in Wisconsin and has 3 Answers
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.
Now, here are there pharmacy graduate program rankings (I’ll be undergrad but this is for the future)
UIC- #9
Purdue #9
Wisc- #11
Drake #51
Now, right now Drake is my first choice because it’s not huge like wisc and not right next door like UIC..
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?
Learn about College Dilemma… *sigh*? and the cost of pharmacy technician school as well as which pharmacy technician schools are the best and offer the most pharmacy tech classes and courses. You can also get information on College Dilemma… *sigh*? as well as pharmacy technician salary, pharmacy technician duties and pharmacy technician jobs and career opportunities.

Other than a select few schools like Harvard, Yale and Stanford the employers do not care what school someone went to and only in a few subjects. When we hire engineers we want to know what the person did and that they graduated from an accredited school. But the ranking some magazine gave the school, based on a survey of students does not matter to us in the slightest.
If Drake is your first choice, go for it. And Number 51 is still pretty good as I think there are something like 20,000 degree granting post secondary schools in the USA.
You should pick a school near where you want to practice. It will help you get a job. At UIC, more than a third of the pharmacy students did their undergrad at UIC.
those rankins seem pretty darn good…
it would be best to go to the smaller college.
go to the school that you have your heart set on.
