<p>After just about the entire semester of constant pondering, researching lists upon lists of different majors I've come down to a select few majors I'd rather pursue than accounting which is what I'm studying right now. I'm currently a junior in accounting with a GPA of 3.50 but the classes are just so boring to me. I'm completely apathetic to the subject (why I kept going after the first class I do not know) but I feel that a switch isn't worth it unless it's something I'm actually interested in. I chose accounting on the premise that it's not "unbearable" and would net a decent salary.</p>
<p>With that out of the way, I'm thinking of earning a BS in Biology (I'm interested in science as a whole) and eventually going to a Pharmacy school so I have a few questions.</p>
<p>My parents can probably only contribute enough for textbooks so other than that I'm on my own in terms of tuition. I understand that Pharmacy school is very expensive. I live in San Francisco so my first choice would be UCSF to avoid housing costs. How much would financial aid/loans cover as an estimate? (I'm signed as a dependent under my mom, income is about 20k) I also plan to apply for some scholarships if I choose this path.</p>
<p>But I also understand that I may not even make it into a Pharmacy school so I'm hoping that a BS in Biology would be something to fall back on. I'm wondering how reliable a degree in Biology alone would be.</p>
<p>I'm trying to assess my situation before making a decision. Enrollment for the spring semester begins in a few days so I'd like some opinions on your experiences and what you make of this. I'm open to all opinions...</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
