oh dear, no longer havin the stat test, i can see why they are so desperate for students and such a low ATAR of all time
they seem to be greedy tryin to fail more students becuz pharmacy is underfunded atm
lol from someone who isnt even halfway in their 1st yr uni and completed their hsc last yr
that 97% stat only reflect internship yr but when you actually apply for a job, its much lower than that
i'm not sure about you, but pharmacy is a mess
why do you think the ATAR cut off for pharmacy this...
No 1st yr is quiete a bludge, though there are few subjects that you may need to study harder for whilst others you can leave till last minute and breeze via easily
2nd yr i think was the most hardest
hospital, rural (fairly bland for me), pharmaceutical industry-designing new drugs, chemical structures gives me a headache >.<
international, research
no, there is no favouritism
there were some ppl that didnt do any science courses and did fine
stat is just a hurdle
i think the the degree is enjoyable to some extent especially when you get to 3rd yr where you learn the important stuff
1st yr is basically useless, 2nd yr was really difficult...
lol i think all of us had this in mind when wanting to study pharmacy
but i wouldnt take the risk, all the good locations wouldve been taken, its usually partnership and u need to fork out $$millions
its not that easy if you just want to open a CWH, i can assure you how many pharmacy owners have...
not sure about your friend, but they can be discriminatory if your an international student or not fluent at english- happened to a friend of mine
To OP- if your not considering doing community pharmacy (which is highly saturated), then that shouldn't be a problem if your opting to do something...
your best option is to avoid pharm, it is very hard to find jobs as a pharmacist atm and with big discounts chains like chemistwarehouse, cincottas- pharmacy is down the drain, lower wages, pretty much the scripts are handed and counselled by pharmacy assistants
Just wondering, when you graduate, where do you normally start off like working in hospitals or something and how long it normally takes before you can successfully start your own business?
hey anonymus, can we find placement at our own workplace (working at chem warehouse) and get paid for it as well?
or is placement suppose to be mainly voluntarily work?
