RBC,
Thanks for the link but it didn't say anything about department code. It is institution code only. I called the MI board on Friday. They told me that 47 is for health department. Then, operator transfered me to the machine. After being put on hold twice for 20 minutes each, I didn't get confirmation from the board.

However, I called ETS to resend the score. The officer at ETS told me that either department code is okay. I hope that the MI board will get my score.

About MI, it is true that it is very difficult to get a job there. My friend has lived there for 7 years and is a greencard holder. She cannot get an Intern position. Many people drive from Canada to work as well.

Also, my friend used to work as a pharmacist in Detroit area. It is pretty rough area. She sometimes had to return home late at mid night. The store she worked was very busy. Finally, she quit. In the winter, it is very cold. It snows a lot. The weather is very discouraging for me since I do not want to drive in snow. I used to have car wrecks in snow storms 3 times. University of MI-Ann Arbor is a very good university. My son was in the waiting list but could not get in. That's why I skipped MI at first. However, a score of 26 is very high. After failing several TSE and iBT-speaking. I have to quit before I become crazy. I wasted too much time, effort, financial resources, and destroyed morale of my family members.

MI and FL are the only states I can work as a pharmacist. Otherwise, I have to change my career.
