pharmacy schools require you to have pharmacy as your first choice. They have plenty of pharmacy applicants, and will consider those over candidates who are only considering pharmacy as a second choice. Pharmacists are completely different to medics. Pharmacy shouldn’t be selected if you don’t get into medicine. Maybe consider bio med and then try and transfer over to medicine after - your heart has to be in pharmacy. It is a totally different job and is NOT second to being a doctor. Pharmacy schools will find this application insulting. If you don’t get the grades for medicine, it doesn’t mean that you’ll then be a successful pharmacist….. they are not second rate doctors 🤦*♀️

Hi this isn't necessarily true- many unis will accept applications for pharmacy as a fifth choice, but it depends on the uni and it's important to check. Not saying pharmacy should be taken lightly or treated as lesser or anything but it is very dependent on the university.

unfortunately what you’re staying is not true, I can say as a senior pharmacist with >10years experience and working in education.

Hi, I'm sure maybe that may be the case where you have worked but several pharmacy unis have stated that they accept applicants that put them as a 5th choice so long as they're willing to put the work in
