I have to apply to the professional phase of pharmacy school this fall (so im already in college) and i am just looking for some ideas on different activities and organizations that might look good to put on the application. if anyone has had any success with a certain activity or organization it would be greatly appreciated! I already work in a pharmacy, just looking for some extra things to add.
Yikes. That didn’t sound good.
Schools of that level like to see that you’re really dedicated to something you do – they like to see that you put a lot of time and effort into it, and stuck with it for several years. If you have anything like that, you should definitely include it.
Ahh, it’s bad to just add "extra things", if they honestly didn’t have a big impact on your life. Get involved with something that you’re actually really interested in, not just what will look better in the end. You’ll be happier and better off that way.
However, some things which DO look good would be the work in the pharmacy (excellent), any leadership positions you may have, or COMMUNITY SERVICE. Graduate schools love to see community service. So you better go out there and help some needy people :] lol
Good luck! I hope you get in <3

show some well roundedness but diversity
show that you can commit to something
like soccer for instance,
i played soccer my whole life and i put that on my application and colleges like that they can see that you have interest in something and stick with it.
