Mercer University Rankings by Salary Score

I originally applied due to the block course formatting, networking and due as expressed numerous times during the interview was their use of technology for learning. Two out of the three was a lie. They had just gotten rid of the block schedule. In addition, during COVID they mandated students to go to class and deemed the recordings were not needed, only audio will be provided for later access. The classes have also been informed audio may be removed next semester. This is an over priced school that lies... Read More and does not provide technological learning methodologies due to they are not needed. The majority of students used the videos as supplemental study materials but apparently that is not needed. Undergraduate schools offer this buy not an over priced PharmD program.

Mercer is all about money. As a Russian educated person with multiple degrees; the curriculum was a joke. A snide comments, gossips or yelling at students was a common unprofessional practice at Mercer. I recommend State School such as UGA as it is cheaper & the school concentrates on making pharmacists to be patient, 100% error free & supportive to patients. Mercer advertises as welcoming diversity for one reason only. The foreign students don’t know what they are getting themselves into: huge debts. A profession... Read More of pharmacist is a 12 hour work day mainly as clerks customers rush & yell at & the corporates using pharmacists licenses to make money selling drugs, without providing enough technicians if at all. Pharmacists have no choices and usually become depressed & commit suicides. While I was there a lot of students ( Asians mostly) committed suicide not making it as well as the culture demands. The corporate retail pharmacy cut techs hours & I know few pharmacists losing their licenses, ended up in jail, lost homes etc. Faculty is not helpful & recently power was given to female deans that went over their heads. There is favoritism & competition. I was an older female students & I felt competition from the red headed, temperamental & downright abusive law professor to students. The disabled students are treated poorly & the school has been notoriously reported to the Department of Education. If you become a puppet & obey hideous rules, take antidepressants & you can make it. It’s very expensive for the educational value advertised. It’s not there. The only memorable person who supported & believed in student was Dr. James Bartling who recently passed away. I like the pharmaceutical calculations soft spoken professor. She took time speaking with me in the office. I looked up to her wisdom. She was real. If you desired to chose this profession I would choose hospital or specialty pharmacy. It’s less stressful, clinical & not as boring. You don’t get yelled at by customers. You deal with patients in beds. Hospitals hire enough staff to cover all the floors, train techs well to help us & hire more techs. I love compounding & got a position at a small private cancer institute & I love smaller town without city trafic & true southern hospitality away from the city. So, yes, I was short 2 classes to get in to UGA & made Atlanta my home. At the end happiness is not what your achievements are, but who you become as a person. It’s a people loving profession. Don’t do it for money. I do love the mountains & Atlanta reminds me of Russian mountains.
