Hello all, I plan to do pharmacy school in the near future, but which major should I start to get into pharmacy? The Biology or Chemistry Major? What did you guys take? Can you also get into pharmacy school with the Bachelor of Arts as well?
As long as you take the required prerequisite courses for the pharmacy school you are interested in, your major is irrelevant. Of course, a lot of pharmacy prereq’s are usually components of biology and/or chemistry majors, so there is some merit to having those majors, but they’re not necessary.
Look at the admission requirements for some pharmacy schools to see what specific classes they require for admittance.
What are you interested in studying? A foreign language? Business?
What do you mean? I plan to study Biology/Chemistry and get my Bachelor of Science. I can also study a foreign language and maybe have a business degree throughout my career.
You don’t have to major in biology or chemistry to get into pharmacy school. You can major in anything. That is what I mean - major in what you are most interested in, while also taking the required pre-requisites* for pharmacy school.
*biology, chemistry, calculus, statistics, physics
I’m a sophomore in high school in NJ and was wondering what my chances are for Rutgers and university of the sciences 0-6 programs.
I was also curious if senior year counts with what classes I’m taking because I will take a good amount of AP classes that year as well as physics reg, which Rutgers recommends to take. I want to make sure they look at senior year too since I’ll take many science AP classes that year.
Also, I’ll be taking the new 1600 pt SAT, and was wondering about what score will be needed for admission to rutgers and USP. I have very smart kids in HS so is class rank very important?
