<p>My top two choices right now are Cal Poly and Mt. Sac since they are the closest to where I live. I already know my major, which is pharmacy. I'm leaning towards Mt. Sac and joining the honors program right now but still very uncertain. </p>
<p>If you guys could tell me the pros and cons for Cal Poly VS Mt. Sac please help me out. Topics I'd like information on is :
-transferring from Cal Poly to a UC school vs from Mt. Sac to a UC school (which one would give me more of a chance)
-the type of education
-difficulty of courses
-etc.</p>
<p>I'd be very greatful if you guys could help me out. Please and thank you :D</p>
<p>UCs give priority to community college transfers, so that is a big consideration, particularly if you are accepted into the honors program. Any college will do the basic sciences well enough for you to apply to pharm school. In general, a community college is not gonna be as rigorous as a four year college. </p>
<p>Might I also suggest you check out Univ of Pacific, which has a Pharm school?</p>
<p>I had to google Mt. Sac to find out what you were talking about - some of us from Norcal obviously need to get with the program ;)</p>
<p>So your choice is Mt. San Antonio Community College vs Cal Poly Pomona, with your ultimate destination a UC? Does Mt. Sac have a transfer admission agreement with any of the UCs?</p>
<p>I've heard anecdotally that it's more difficult to transfer to a UC from a Cal State vs a community college, but that's something you should probably look into. If Cal Poly has a pre-pharmacy track in their science dept, that would probably be your best bet.</p>
<p>I second bluebayou's suggestion of checking out University of the Pacific, unless you absolutely have to live at home.</p>
<p>Thank:D. i've been considering Univ of Pacific as a transfer but i have to look into it more.</p>
