I had a few friends who went to the College of Parmacy at the University of Toledo, and they liked it.

But I'm guessing only you know best what you are looking for in a school, so without any additional information its hard to make any kind of recommendation....

Don't know anything about it except that it's gotta be easy to get into and easy to complete.

A guy I know had been out of school for over ten years. He'd only gone to community college for maybe 3 semesters right out of high school just taking general studies classes then dropped out and worked in a barber shop for the next ten years. Then he decides he wants to become a pharmacist. Applied to the above school and they accepted all of his credits from ten years previously in another state and told him he had to take 2 or 3 specific classes and they'd accept him, the most difficult one being organic chemistry I think. He took the classes, was accepted, attended the above school for two and a half years and he's been a practicing pharmacist for several years now.

Purdue University, of course.

And with your GPA, Purdue is not out of the picture. Just more difficult to get into since you are out of state.
