There is a total of THREE PHARMACY SCHOOLS IN INDIANA!. Yet especially for the last numerous years, ONLY ONE INDIANA PHARMACY SCHOOL THAT HAS BEEN IN THE TOP TEN PERCENT OF ALL 144  USA Pharmacy Schools  on the percentage of graduates that pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination on FIRST ATTEMPT. I know someone who was in the 1970 Butler Pharmacy School graduating class. That class was also the first class that took the newly created (National) North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination and ONLY ONE OUT OF THAT CLASS THAT DID NOT PASS ON THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT AT TAKING THAT YEAR’S TEST! I felt sorry for my classmate because 1970 was the first draft lottery and he had drew a very low number and the draft board wanted to draft him, but he was trying to get a exemption from the draft until he could take the Indiana boards, which was in Sept and apparently was riding him kind of hard and the stress compromised his him passing his boards.
