UCF or UF for Chem major before Pharmacy school?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>I wanna go to UCF for the experience and environment. I think I'd have a better time for my first two years there with the family/friends i have in orlando, activities, and job opportunities...</p>

<p>But I know UF is a better school academically.</p>

<p>Would it hurt my chances of getting into UF's College of Pharmacy if I turn them down to go to UCF first?</p>

<p>Well it depends, if you get good grades then no. I think you should go to UF though, you’re going to have to leave your friends at one point and it might as well me now.</p>

<p>How exactly are you going to move to UF after 2 years?
Are you looking to transfer?
Will you have an associates degree by then?</p>

<p>The majority of the transfers into UF come from the Community Colleges with about 75% (or some other rediculus number) coming from Santa Fe CC.</p>

<p>You are probably better off getting in when you can and not taking your chances at a future possibility.</p>

<p>By the way if you have an AA and have all your pre-pharm required courses done and have taken your PCAT you can apply for entrance directly into the Pharmacy School.
It will take a LOT of planning ahead & lots of summer classes.</p>

<p>Im a senior in high school and I should have enough credits to get my AA before college in the Fall. So I’m thinking it’ll only take me about 2 years to get enough credits for a chem major before going to UF</p>

<p>Easy decision… go to UF. Gotta leave the family and friends at some point. Don’t let this opportunity pass. UF!</p>

<p>You can apply to the UF school of Pharmacy WITHOUT a 4yr degree.
You just need your AA, have satisfied all of the UF general requirements (which you may satisfy with your AA) plus all the pre-pharm requirements and have taken and done well on the PCAT.
If you get aggressive with your schedule you may be able to knock off 2 full years of school. You may also be able to do some research also.
AA is 2 years, Pharm degree is 4 years.</p>

<p>Suggest you contact the pre-med counseling center to get an idea from them on how to procceed.</p>
