I want to pursue in the career of a pharmacist. I’m deciding between UCI or UCSD. I got accepted in UCI as pharmaceutical major and UCSD as biochem. Which school would be more beneficial to me if I want to become a pharmacist in the future? Which school would better assist me to get into a pharmacy school?
I believe they are both good in preparing you to get into a pharmacy school. However, UCSD has a pharmacy school, which you would have to apply to for admission. UCI does not have a pharmacy school. Undergraduate GPA to get into pharmacy school, especially UCSF, UCSD and USC, is around 3.5. It is very competitive to get into a CA pharmacy school, including UOP.
@UCBUSCalum Would UCSD prioritize their undergrads for the applicants to their pharmacy school?
That I don’t know. However, I would think that UCSD’s pharmacy school would be very familiar with the UCSD undergraduate programs compared to other UC’s.
