I am disappointed at the way the pre-pharmacy program is run. The science teachers have been making it very difficult to pass the classes and the scores are not curved. In one of my science classes, almost 40% had to drop to avoid failing the class. Dropping a major science class means it will take you another year to graduate. Many students also have to take easier non-required filler math/science classes that you would not have otherwise taken to build up your grade point average. An extra year to complete your program means another year of costly tuition I can barely afford. And this is still no guarantee you will get into their pharmacy program. Also, you need a LOR from a pharmacist to get into the pharmacy school. Many I talked to are having an extremely difficult time finding a place to volunteer to get that reference. Needless to say attending this school has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I hope someone in their administration reads this and changes things because I am not the only one who feels this way.
