Sample Letter of Recommendation

| | Comments (0)

admission_building.gifThis is a letter of recommendation that I have written for a student who is now a pharmacist.  Specific details are changed.  I have guided six students to successful admissions to pharmacy schools.  Six out of six is a respectable result.  The following letter should be used as a tool and not as is. 

Dear Admission Committee for University of PharmD,

It is indeed my pleasure to write this letter in support of Amber Leon application to your Pharmacy Program.  I have known Ms. Leon for the past one and a half years.  I have directly observed and supervised her work at USPharmD Pharmacy.

My impression of Amber is outstanding. She has shown a real eagerness to learn.  She has a sincere concern and affinity for the patients. Amber has also demonstrated appropriate maturity and a strong sense of responsibility.  In addition, she is likable and easy to work with.

Amber is a bright, competent, and conscientious person who always maintains the highest degree of professional integrity and demeanor.  Amber is greatly committed to all that she takes on, she is highly dependable, and extremely dedicated in the work she does.  While working with Amber, I found her sincerity, sense of humor, and listening skills delightful.

Amber has an exceptional learning ability.  I am an adjunct clinical professor at PharmD School of Pharmacy and manage PharmD Pharmacy, but I have never encountered such an outstanding person.  For example, I personally demonstrated how to process/type a prescription once and she was able to process/type other prescriptions without any question or help.  She is a truly intelligent young lady.

I strongly recommend this impressive young woman for admission into your pharmacy school.  I am confident that her ongoing interests in the field of pharmacy coupled with her personal attributes will make her highly capable of becoming a successful and competent pharmacist.  I am sure you will find her a valued member of the Pharmacy program and a pleasure to work with.

 If you require any additional information, please fell free to contact me at the this address.
Sincerely yours,

 

Review of Pharmacy School Application

Pharmacy school application process is a monumental project for most students.  Applicants must be very articulated and present the application in well formatted "typed" version.  Many pharmacy schools offer online application process, especially if school require application through pharmcas.  Online application is convenient but ensure to review application before submitting.  Write each and every questions and answers on paper to review your applications.  Do not finish this application in 30 minutes, although some of applicants may have abilities and capable, most of applicants should carefully review their application.  When obtaining letter of recommendation select someone who knows you and who will highly recommend you versus someone who may hold a prestigious position in your academy world realm and barely knows you.  Letter of recommendation is one factor that you don't have much impact on its outcome.  Again, you should be selective but show act of kindness to your recommendator, like you realized that he has been wearing that old tie and you happened to work at Men's department.  If pharmacy school application does not utilize pharmcas, most of the applications can be downloaded via pharmacy school web sites.  Most of these downloadable applications are in Adobe Acrobat application.  You could actually print these applications and use typewriter but you could upgrade your software or simply ask your technical savy friend to format the adobe acrobat online application so you may write, print and save for future use.  If you have issues in regards to adobe acrobat you may contact me and I may be able to help.

Pharmacy School Interview

| | Comments (0)
symbol_school.gif
If you were invited to pharmacy school interviews, you should believe that you could convince interviewers that they are your "role model" and that you want to become them. Simply put it, the truth, in English, "Brown Nose". But the fact is that you do want to become them and you would be an addition to school, not only because you are intelligent, but you are dedicated to pharmacy field and your unique attributes are definitely wanted and needed. Overall, the interview assesses the applicant's communication skills, confidence, and maturity, commitment to the field of pharmacy, motivation, character and ability to interact with others. Prior to school interview, study about the school of your interview to indicate that you have researched about the school and that particular school is number one choice, regardless your subjective opinion, or why go to interview. There is no question that interview is a stressful event of admission process for applicants. You should glow at the interview by talking about your volunteer experience at local community clinic helping the needy. Your experience at pharmacy given to certain aspect of your possible pharmacist career choice. Most interviewers ask the infamous question, "why pharmacy?" Be prepare to answer that because you wanted to be a pharmacist since you are five years old. I will write more scenarios or typical questions asked by pharmacy school admissions.
