And not to question your judgment, but do you really want to stand around in a pharmacy all day long filling prescriptions? True, you have to look out for drug interactions, bad hand-writing by the physician, stupidity on the part of patients, but precious little human interaction. Also you get to work retail hours mostly. Last, I'd think that the healthcare industry is going to figure out a way to fill prescriptions automatically, with no need for overpaid human involvement.

You can get your pharmacy education at any University. Be careful about the schools too, make sure you are becoming a Pharmacist not a Pharmacy Tech. Although working as a Tech during school will benefit you, it won't be the career your looking for long term. You aren’t limited to just “Pharmacy schools”.

If you don't get in, finish your degree, and try again. The average applicant is not accepted. My own college has an acceptance rate of about 10%.
