<p>Sooo I'm a Junior in High School and I want to become a pharmacist (as of today )...</p>
<p>What are steps I can take right now to help me out? Also do I have to be accepted into a pharmacy school to become a pharmacist?! </p>
<p>What major should I be focusing on for next year when I'm applying to Colleges?</p>
<p>I know I'm a newb... : (</p>
<p>chemistry- physical chemistry and synthetic chemistry (heavy on organic)
bio- a lot of physiology and cell bio stuff.</p>
<p>also, try the search function.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do know is to start volunteering at your local pharmacy and talk to one of the pharmacists there.</p>
<p>like flemmyd said take chemistry and bio classes</p>
<p>you can do a 6 year program to become a pharmacist or you can do an undergrad and then 4 years at a pharmacy school getting your pharmD.</p>
<p>if you go with the undergrad path you can always change your mind about careers easier but of course theres 2 more years of school</p>
