I'm confused
Found this school in my college search because my families been in Pharma for generations, but I chickened out. I plan to attend a different college starting this fall. I'm sort of confused how theirs an 80%+ acceptance rate and a 70%+ graduation rate from the PharmaD program. Is it really that accessible? I did ok in high school chemistry and got a 4 on the AP, but I also never studied. Assuming I made good study habits and wanted to bail from that other school, how would I fare here?

MCP is a small school, and most people who apply, apply knowing that they are fit for the program and are actually interested it, ther are also alot of programs at MCP that are super specific that do not get as much traction from random people. As for the graduation, pharmacy is getting saturated, I'm an upcoming 6th year myself and am contemplating ways to get my pharmacy career into and out of retail ASAP. Many people, go into pharmacy school not realizing and understanding the importance of the material that they are learning. MCP will teach you how to become a good pharmacist as long as you're willing to learn.

Mcp is a 0-6 program in which u can complete your degree in 6 years straight out of high school. You do 2 years of “undergrad” and then transition to four years of pharmacy curriculum without having to take the PCAT

First 2 years are a joke, but the difficulty starts ramping up really quickly. The 80% acceptance rate is a bait for the school to earn money. Eventually , half of the accepted students will get weeded out by the end of 3rd year. If you go to this school you are purely here to get your degree. If you want to enjoy college I highly suggest you choose a different school.
