      5 years ago, I also got an acceptance letter to St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Mine was in a plastic champagne bottle: still the coolest piece of mail I've ever gotten

      [–]DaBearsDaBears 17 points18 points ago

      Last year I got the plastic champagne bottle for my acceptance letter from them too! I guess they changed it up this year.

      [–]watermelonmeowmeow 3 points4 points ago

      They give the high priority students the pill bottles. Like those first years in physics.

      [–]Karma_Anemic 13 points14 points ago

      University At Buffalo School of Pharmacy student checking in. We don't get cool mail... as a matter of fact I didn't get any mail. Got my acceptance via e-mail... not gonna lie, more than a little jealous. Still, UB kicks ass. Nowhere where I'd rather be.

      [–]dustmote 1 point2 points ago

      Hey, I technically found out I was accepted to my university through text message.

      I was really confused, but it was a fuck-up on their end, they set up the texting system while people's letters were still in the mail. It sent all the accepted kids really confusing texts about signing up for some reception through an accepted students website. My letter arrived a few days after I had called admissions and checked into it.

      [–]diabolotry 0 points1 point ago

      Never got an acceptance letter. Got a bill, so I knew I was in.

                  Why are pharmacists paid so well? Genuinely curious.

                  6 to 8 years of grueling school work, having to insure patients don't receive the wrong medication (which could kill them), and dealing with asshats daily if working in retail.

                  [–]beatriceboxcar 7 points8 points ago

                  A friend of mine who went to pharmacy school in NY said that something crazy, like only a quarter or a third of the freshman will actually get their pharmacy degree. She also worked harder in school than any two other people I knew combined. But yes, she did buy herself a sports car as a graduation gift.

                  [–]davick 4 points5 points ago

                  As a pharmacy school dropout from STLCOP, I can confirm that turnover rate.

                  [–]Karma_Anemic 1 point2 points ago

                  At the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy the graduation rate is almost 100%, but getting in is hell. Glad to be here now though.

                  [–]Karma_Anemic 2 points3 points ago

                  Depends on the School. The more demanding to get in, the higher the grad rate. When my parents when to Pharm school the first thing the dean said to them was "look left, look right, one of you isn't gonna make it." Now a days, I'm in the same pharm school and they're more demanding of their candidates. Dean comes in first day and says, "look left, look right, you're probably gonna marry one of those 2 people." I was sitting next to 2 dudes, it bummed me out a bit.

                  [–]beatriceboxcar 0 points1 point ago

                  They same the same thing at any school. I was talking specifically about a pharmacy degree.

                  [–]ZEB1138 1 point2 points ago

                  Yeah. I'm in my 4th year of 6 right now. My class is about hall of it's original size. For those who make it past 3rd year, my school claims to have a 98% retention rate. So, if you make it the first three years, you generally make it the last three. 4th year is rough, though. I'm learning the most important and interesting stuff I've ever learned, but they exam schedule is crazy. Generally have 2 exams every week. I'm lucky if I only have 1 test in a week.

                  [–]aGATORnamedERIC 0 points1 point ago

                  That's crazy high to me. I'm in my 3rd year at UF, and I can really only speak for my campus (there are 4, totaling about 280 students) that of the 52 or 53 that started, only 1 has completely dropped out of pharmacy school, and 4 are still in pharmacy school but won't be graduating with the rest us.

                  [–]raging_asshole 0 points1 point ago

                  Ensure = to make sure of

                  Insure = to cover with insurance

                  So I guess technically they have to do both, but I think you meant the former.

                    Fun fact: there's more to being a pharmacist than filling bottles with the right number of the right pill. It's a large combination of people skills, problem solving, and science. Also, pharmacists have to be diagnosticians to a degree seeing as how people will much sooner go bother the pharmacist at the corner store to get free advice on their own time than make an appointment with a doctor and pay him for it. Also also, the role of pharmacists is expanding everyday, pretty soon we'l be writing scripts ourselves.

                    [–]ZEB1138 1 point2 points ago

                    Some already do. One of my professors works in ambulatory care at the VA and he can write scripts. Also, those working on Indian Reservations can, as well. The nice thing about working on a Reservation is that the Government pays off your student loans while you work there. It's kind of a post-grad scholarship you apply for.

                      As someone who is in pharmacy school now I respectfully disagree... still, we're moving towards e-prescribing for a reason. Eliminate handwriting, eliminate a large source of confusion that leads to med errors

                      That's only $15-20 less than my attendings make in the ER, and you don't have to deal with poop, vomit, death, abscesses, etc. I'm the drug guru in my department, and I'd love to do pharmacy, but being colorblind has already hindered chem plenty as an undergrad.

                        [–]dont_knockit 4 points5 points ago

                        My first job was as a clerk in a pharmacy and I can confirm this. Insurance woes were a large portion of what the pharmacists spent time dealing with. And they have no control over it -the insurance cos fuck with people but the pharmacists are the ones who have to see the faces when they tell them that they have to pay $750 or go without. Again and again. They also usually had 12 hour shifts. But I understand they make very good money and have good job security.

                        I was a pharmacy tech for eight years and dealing with insurance always fell to me, but I worked at an independent drug store most of that time.

                        I work in an ER. Several of our staff are former pharm techs and a couple have pharmacist parents. The consensus is that if you can survive a few years of emergency without strangling someone, pharmacy would be a cake walk.

                        Med/surg and critical care are great fallbacks for either though. The one day I filled in for ICU, I was doing jumping jacks in the med room to stay awake.

                        My dad is also a pharmacist. He also works for Walgreens. He enjoys it, but then he's been working there for nearly 30 years now, which allows him to be an ass to customers. A privilege he exercises often.

                        I'm in pharmacy school now (4th year) and amphetamines are, by far, the most highly abused substance among the student population.

                        [–]TheGoomba 2 points3 points ago

                        I went to college for music and programming. Adderall was used by almost everyone. For a lot of things. Studying being #1, but I had kids snort it in my bathroom at parties, and a few friends who did it to stay up playing video games. As a music student the second most abused drug was Beta Blockers. Nervous performance majors trying to take the edge off of juries.

                        [–]ZEB1138 1 point2 points ago

                        The thing about amphetamines is that if you want them, you can get a prescription for them. It's really not hard to get a doctor to write you a scrip for one. I don't understand why people feel the need to get them illegally.

                        I don't use them because I plan in going Navy and I don't want a history if ADD on my medical record.

                        [–]TheGoomba 2 points3 points ago

                        I have ADHD, have since I was 8 or so. I've had an adderall script that I'm SUPPOSED to take for a long time, so it was really weird seeing all these people WANTING to take it. I never sold; absolutely refused to. It was even weirder having to abandon people I used to consider friends because they thought I was an asshole for not selling.

                        But, yeah, I bet it's about as hard as walking in and saying "man, I can never seem to focus on anything for more than a few minutes"

                        [–]ZEB1138 1 point2 points ago

                        I have a lot of respect for you for not selling your Adderall. It also takes a lot of guts to stand up to your friends like that.

                            My wife went to pharmacy school at the University of Texas at Austin and completed a PGY1 and PGY2 residency before going to medical school.

                            Pharmacy parties were the best. Jello shots were loaded into oral syringes 'borrowed' from the pharmacies the students worked at: CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc. Inject the shot into your mouth!

                              For those of you not familiar with STLCOP, they're changing the program as well. It used to be 0-6; basically once you're in, if you keep your grades up and do okay on the PCAT during your second year, you're golden. You get in right out of high school, insane in my opinion. Also, at one point in time they were accepting 120+ students, and only gradating about 80 of them. (I'm not a STLCOP student, but I've worked with some students there.) Numerous other schools are 2+4, saying that you take two years of undergrad coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, all that fun stuff, and take the PCAT to get accepted. Once accepted, C's get the degree, and that's all that matters, about 95% of students in 2+4 graduate, once in the 4 year Pharm.D program following undergraduate work.

                              However, STLCOP will be changing soon. Instead of 0-6, they are going to 0-7. That's even more money to be loaned, joyous! I think my boss said that there will be no class of 2019 due to the fast, so well.. OP, your friend has seven years of 'fun' ahead of them. Good luck!

                              I was hoping for an Hogwarts's acceptance letter :(

                              Finally, something from my college makes it big on Reddit. Way to go! We'll look forward to selling you our crap next year!

                              Tell him congrats for me. Message me if/when he needs therapeutics notes.

                              I would use that to store my weed for the next four years.

                              That's cool!

                              contact me when you're a working pharmacist so you can hire me as a tech. national certification and no one seems to need any techs. it sucks balls.

                              [–]astroFizzics 0 points1 point ago

                              That's pretty awesome IMO

                              They use the same bottle for rejections, except it contains an anti-depressant... in suppository form.

                              [–]TheKavahn 0 points1 point ago

                              Hey I live right next to that place

                              [–]tsarmina 0 points1 point ago

                              If it's a prescription for more cow bell, he should definitely go there.

                              you could stash so much weed in that bottle

                              [–]sometimesijustdont 0 points1 point ago

                              Pharmacy schools have standards and actually send acceptance letters?

                              [–]hahsee 0 points1 point ago

                              Haha! This is pretty freaking awesome!!

                              All I got was a lousy e-mail

                              [–]lungleg 0 points1 point ago

                              Can we see the letter?

                              [–]CoonwithaC -1 points0 points ago

                              I'm from STL ... Is this school like well known or popular among pharmacy students? Thought it was just an average pharm school?

                              [–]Ent_angled 0 points1 point ago

                              You'll probably run into the Infamous "Bitch Banes" then. He's quite the character.

                              [–]Boobookittyfawk 0 points1 point ago

                              What an awesome way to receive an acceptance letter.

                              [–]beaglebabex3 0 points1 point ago

                              When did he apply? I applied for the same school and haven't heard anything yet... this makes me nervous.

                              [–]rickanddianne 0 points1 point ago

                              Too cool for school. Congrats and good luck to your friend.

                              [–]jbroome 0 points1 point ago

                              Good thing they didn't get accepted to vet school.
