Sid, I would hardly throw in the towel and claim failure. You've only applied to ONE school. If you don't get an interview, that's like asking ONE girl out and her not taking you up on the offer. There are about 50 bazillion (OK not that many, but stay with me) other options out there.

So you don't think you can afford other schools. Well, there are always ways to afford other schools. Even the expensive out of state ones. You think every kid in school has parents with $60K per year to burn? To your benefit, if you have to borrow money to go to school, right now interest rates are silly low. When inflation hits by the time you have to start repaying those loans, you'll look like a genius when your Stafford interest rate is 3% compared to the 10-15% everyone else is paying to borrow money.

Life is full of little setbacks. What will separate you from others is how you respond to them.

Go apply to other pharm programs. Get of pharm entirely. Physician's assistant? Pharmaceutical rep? Paramedic? Vet? Firefighter? You have something everyone else in the world wants but can't have--youth. You have time on your side, unlike most others.
