What are your general comments?

small new pharmacy school. had a chance to talk to students. they said school raised tuition by like 5 % every year. I know its usual. Some Profs are young and dont have much knowledge. Some dont prepare for the lecture.The school force you to live at the dorm which is overpriced. The students could be lying tho. Anyway Mcp is my 4th choice. UOP, LLU, and UCSF will be my choice.The students said they take every students who applied there.Its kind of true. They are still taking students even in like May.Good luck everyone.
