LEARN HOW TO BECOME A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN WITH THE ADVICE OF REAL PEOPLE
This Question From Pharmacy Technician Schools in Alabama | 2 Answers
I am currently a college Sophomore at the University of North Alabama. I have been trying to find as much information on Pharmacy school as I can, but I would love a first-hand account from people who have been there and done it. I am most interested in what it takes to actually get into Pharmacy school. For instance, is it important to have Pharmacy Technician experience in order to get in, or are grades and volunteer work more important? What types of things would look good on a resume? I currently have a 4.0 GPA, so I know that I can keep the grades up. But, if I need work experience how do I get certified to be a Tech.? Also, are there any companies out there that pay for your Pharmacy school if you work for them? Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Pharm Tech experience is not required. I wouldn’t even recommend it. It gets too hard to go from working as a pharm tech to going back to school.
Grades and other extra curric stuff (like volunteering, but not necessarily) are more important. Get a good PCAT score. That will be important to help show that your grades aren’t because you went to an easy school.
You don’t need a bachelors to get into pharm school if you’ve fulfilled all the pre-req courses. Go ahead and apply. If you don’t get in, than finish up your degree and apply again after you have a bachelors.
Some companies pay for your Pharm school, but it’s usually a loan repayment program. You’re going to have to take out loans and pay for pharm school. The loan repayment programs don’t start until you’re out of school and have already got the debt to your name (sometimes they don’t kick in until you’ve worked for a couple of years for the company). Veterans Affairs and some retail pharmacy companies have these programs.

idk about those but then i think youll be more competitive with a bachelors. i myself am going to try to enter a 6 year pharm program when i get to college. itll be easier. oh well. goodluck. i dont think you have to be a pharmacy technician, but itll probably be better because youll know the pharmacy environment. i think its too late for you to become a pharmacy technician because you need a liscence for that. fortunately ill have that by the end of high school, theres a program that lets me, yay. goodluck, ohwell.
