<p>Im currently a senior in high school and im debating on if being a pre-pharmacy undergrad is to difficult and overwhelming. any insights?</p>
<p>It’s challenging but doable if you like sciences and math alot. Otherwise, it’s probably tortuous. I think it’s the kind of program that you have to be very motivated to get through. Much of that depends on why you want to become a pharmacist. If you stay focused, can say no to social events that would interfere with your study plans, and do whatever it takes to keep up (go to office hours, find a tutor if you need it, etc.), it’s probably not as bad as many people say. Time management is very important!</p>
<p>The first and second semesters consist of classes that would apply to many majors - you could try these and I think you’ll know by the end of the first year whether you want to do it or not. For now, try to get some experience shadowing a pharmacist or two - maybe one retail and one hospital - and do some research on the profession. If you don’t know what you’re getting into and why, it’s going to be hard to maintain interest.</p>
<p>Good luck with your decision!</p>
