was wondering if any past (or current) residents or preceptors/RDs could share any strategic advice for re-applicants to the residency application process, and comment on how applicants who are NOT current P4's are looked upon/ evaulated in comparison to the more traditional P4 applicant. Ie, is a P4 applicant more preferable bc they're perceived to be more "moldable" or is a working, licensed (albeit new) pharmacist regarded well for whatever few months of pharmacist experience they actually have under their belts?
Some background info on me: I didn't match my first time around, and since then I've JUST started as a full time hospital staff pharmacist. As a potential reapplicant, I'm NOT hoping to have a weak transcript/etc overlooked (I had a 3.7 GPA, clinical rotations, and hospital intern work experience)
Thanks in advance- after seeing how competitive things are becoming I'm facing a lot of doubts and it's time to start making some decisions
