<p>What are the pros and cons of getting a BA/BS first - then applying and going to Pharm school? (Besides the two obvious - eight years versus six years; total cost.)</p>
<p>Any thoughts on this? Any experience? Admit rates of those with undergraduate degrees?</p>
<p>I have heard from pharmacy students who did this that it gives you something to fall back on if you ever change your mind, and that pre-pharmacy really doesn’t give you any type of degree.</p>
<p>Or, plan ahead to finish a BS in two years by really working the AP credits and summer school, and if your college has it, foreign language ‘retro’ credits’.</p>
