What are your general comments?

Not bad. Its very easy to get accepted. I think its an ok school. Don't read the other negative comments. Everybody has to pay taxes. Pharmacist still make good money even after the taxes(about 55%). I know foreign pharmacists work for less but I don't care. They also pay taxes. I am pretty sure pharmacy is a good career. I am going there. I am glad that I got accepted. If you are not picky, its easy to find a job after you grad. Be positive.
