Date: January 16th, 2026 11:15 AM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) he got into a fraud 6 year pharm.d program. they offered him a "$25k scholarship" that they offer probably to everyone. total cost will be north of $300k (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822789&forum_id=2.#49593665) |
Date: January 16th, 2026 11:18 AM Author: Nazca Redlines Why is it 6 years? Is it UG+grad school or something?
For academic subjects, 100% of PhDs that the candidate pays for are flame. They should be funded by the school + a stipend (based on the candidate's lab work, research, and/or teaching). Is that not the case with a Pharm.D.?
How is the quality of the school? Would he be doing work with his 6 year, $300k (plus opportunity costs!) investment that he couldn't do with a 2 years my masters in bio or something? |

Date: January 16th, 2026 11:21 AM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) yes, it's an accelerated program. normally to become a pharmacist you need 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of pharmacy school.
it's not really an academic doctorate, more of a professional doctorate like a JD. so you pay for that shit.
school is a TTT but prestige doesn't matter for pharmacy school. and yeah you need a pharm.d to be pharmacist. |

there very much is prestige in pharmacy schools, but the schools at the top of the list would surprise you |

Date: January 16th, 2026 12:01 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) probably at the margins if you want to teach or something. but if you're standing in a cvs or a hospital pharmacy why would it matter?

Date: January 16th, 2026 11:28 AM Author: shitlaw boss vibecoding productivity tracker (π§) Pharm.D. is a "professional" degree like an MD or DDS. They even have an equivalent of "residency" although it's optional. Pharmacists are a cartel which basically have no reason to exist in a world where everything is digitized, but they've never been enough of a drain for anyone to really care about killing the industry. That could certainly change though as their role becomes increasingly trivial.
It's certainly a less secure path than an actual doctor, not something worth investing 300k in (especially given pharmacists obviously do not make as much as doctors). |

No you don’t get a raise this year - that goes to the CEO and the shareholders.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822789&forum_id=2.#49593979) |

Date: January 16th, 2026 12:24 PM Author: fulano Here is my uneducated take on this: it is almost certainly a cash grab on a very vulnerable segment of the population to try to trap them into 6 years of tuition with poor prospects after graduation.
there are instances in which i could see something like this making sense - if for example, new mexico was short on recruiting family doctors or nurses to live in their state, i could imagine implementing a program whereby essentially trapping a 24 year old into a local practice would make sense for both parties.
i dont know enough about pharm but i assume life will be quite different in 2032. seems like a major red flag to me hermano |
