College Career Advice

<p>Hello. I am a freshman in college. I have recently withdrawn from two science classes in November, which were General Biology 1 and Intro. to Psychology. Now I am a part-time student, and I am currently taking a General Chemistry and English 1 course. I have majored in B.S. Chemistry, and I am planning to pursue a career in pharmacy. What are my chances of transferring to a pharmacy school? What can I do to increase them? Should I begin studying and preparing for the PCAT exam? Should I take 4 classes or more, or less, per semester? What would be the best times for me to start taking internships? </p>

<p>Prove yourself with good grades in the prerequisites such as physics, general chemistry, calculus, biology, organic chemistry.</p>

<p>I would like for you to elaborate on your advice. (By the way, I already know that).</p>

<p>Elaborate on your question - are you talking about transferring to another 0-6 program, transferring to a 0-6 program from a non- 0-6 prpgram, or applying to a 4-year pharmacy school for fall 2016 admission after finishing prerequisites by summer 2016?</p>

<p>I am planning to transfer to a six year program from a non-six year program. I am not exactly sure that this is what I want. But, I would like to transfer from my currently enrolled college to a pharmacy school as fast as possible. So, I guess my question is the latter. </p>

<p>I am just guessing, but the best place for such information is probably on the websites of 0-6 schools.</p>

<p>Narrow down the 0-6 programs you are interested in by geography, ranking, and / or cost, and explore their websites and if you have more questions about transferring call or email their admissions people.</p>

<p>I’ve decided! I am interested in a pharmacy school in Albany—or I am rather interested to apply to a pharmacy school just about anywhere in upstate New York. I would also like to apply to one of the top 20 pharmacy schools in New York. I am still researching for more details about getting into a good school. If I get enrolled into a pharmacy school, like Albany University, I would like to know of where I can find a list of other pharmacy schools, including their tuition, the scholarships that are offered there, and the amount of financial aid that they can support. </p>

<p>There is another website with very active pharmacy school - related forums. Google ‘student doctor network pharmacy’.</p>

<p>These following questions have not been answered: What can I do to increase chances of getting into a pharmacy school? Should I begin studying and preparing for the PCAT exam? Should I take 4 classes or more, or less, per semester? What would be the best times for me to start taking internships?</p>

<p>Do you have a pre-pharmacy advisor you can meet with at your school?</p>
