I just graduated from UVM, which in Latin stands for University of the Green Mountains, but which has come to be known as the University of Vermont. I hated the social life and area of the country, but altogether it provided me with a decent education. I majored in Politics, and double minored in history and economics. The school is on its way up, with 300 million in construction last year. I'm glad I'm out of there.castevens said:So. Where did you go to college?
excellent money to be made in the pharmacy business, am i right? I have a friend who put herself through college as a pharm tech. I applied to northeastern law and went on a tour last summer. is the law school near where you attend or is it a separate campus?castevens said:Haha, had to get credit for that post, huh?
Well you're way ahead of me now, but can't hurt to keep trying!
I'm, as everyone probably already knows, at Northeastern University in Boston. I am going for my doctorate in pharmacology, and I am spending this summer working at a pharmacy in Rhode Island.
I was just looking at the salary statistics, and it is a well-known fact that Pharmacy has one of the highest starting salaries (but very little upward movement when seniority sets in), but I was still suprised at the numbers. In Boston, the middle 50% made 135k-145k with benifits included.Patrick said:excellent money to be made in the pharmacy business, am i right?
Yeah the "campus" is quite small...possibly even one building.castevens said:Same campus. My room last year (Willis Hall) was facing that Law School's "Campus" (2 buildings, I think). My girlfriend is applying to NU Law this upcoming year.
Have you started law school yet, or are starting next year?
haha thanks...trying not to let that realization set in so that I don't look down my nose at other people and so I dont begin to think of myself as somehow better than the average person...thats when lawyers become "lawyers." and no one likes a freakin "lawyer." well, we'll see how I feel after the first year, I hear its about the hardest thing a human brain can ever do haha. if i make it through then i'll be proud of myself.castevens said:By just getting into law school, you've proven yourself to be the best of the best!
OKAY, now I have some advice for your girlfriend as a new veteran of the application process.castevens said:She has not taken the LSATs yet, so she is very nervous about that (because we have heard from other sources that NU is nearly impossible to get into), but she has a 3.6 GPA in History right now. Thanks for the good-luck, I will pass it on to her, but it is good to know that she will probably have to apply to other schools.
(Did you know that NU Law doesn't have grades??)
Best of luck to you at Maine Law! Keep us updated on how everything's going up there.

yeah thats impressive. I actually wanted to go into medicine when I was younger and I toured the Mass college of Pharmacy and Allied Health Science (MCPHS) in Boston and one of the major emphases there was how well-paid pharmacists and related positions are.castevens said:I was just looking at the salary statistics, and it is a well-known fact that Pharmacy has one of the highest starting salaries (but very little upward movement when seniority sets in), but I was still suprised at the numbers.

Also, it is one of the most sought-after majors in college, with one of the biggest rejection rates. It is estimated that in 2020, there will be 400,000 jobs in pharmacy, and only about 200,000 pharmacists.
