I am interested to hear what you decide. My daughter has very similar choices. She’s ultimately interested in becoming a pharmacist and is deciding between doing a direct entry 6 year program at Pitt (with $10,000 merit first 4 years) or first getting her bachelors in Biology and then doing PharmD program. She has been accepted at UVA, Boston College, Michigan, Penn State, Fordham ($33,500/year Merit) and Clemson Honors (with $15,000/year Merit) Pitt would overwhelmingly be the least expensive route but I can also understand why she would not want to rush through her undergraduate experience. Would love to hear what you decide!
