    Getting through the studies can be tough guys, I knew it was the right path for me only once I graduated. I learned way more from practice than books.

    Great advice for incoming pharmacy students! I think how to transition into graduate school and studying for exams is key for P1 students.

    Do Pharmacy if you have spent time within the Pharmacy arena and you understand what Pharmacy is about. You will pay regardless of the high career field you go into. $100,00-200,00.

    Hi Bianca! I'm a future pharmacy student who plans on applying to pharmacy school. However I am conflicted on how I should acquire pharmacy experience.
    It's a little expensive, but do you think it would be worth it to get a pharmacy technician license before pharmacy school or should I just volunteer instead?
    Also would I be more competitive if I do get my pharmacy technician license?

      Pharmacy tech experience will help you get into the school, but I can tell you that I didn't have any and still got in. Pre reqs and GPA are a much bigger deal as tech experience is about like the PCAT; it doesn't necessarily correlate with doing well in pharmacy school.
      As far as jobs later, tech means basically nothing. They will care more about where you interned than anything for retail positions and somewhat about letters of rec.
      Residencies care about pharmacy school GPA and letters of rec.
      Industry cares more about research, publications, and, again, letters of rec.
      Just like she said, networking is important because everybody wants references and those letters

    I'm a retired pharmacist who worked in all fields of pharmacy & industry. This video is nonsense. Pharmacy is now an 8 yr committmment (& 9 or 10yrs if you go the residency route to become a specialized hospital pharmacist), not 6. Her points on networking, how to study, etc are all ridiculous. I hope a student thinking about pharmacy school doesn't listen to her.
