<p>My goal is to be a pharmacist, it may sound strange, </p>

<p>now I am taking classes of prepharm in community college.</p>

<p>But I think it's too difficult from CC. </p>

<p>So... what college has advantage for entrance to pharmacy school?</p>

<p>I heard UCB or UCLA is really hard to get nice grade. If I will get low overall</p>

<p>gpa in UC, still can get chance to go to pharmacy school?</p>

<p>or doesn't transfer to UC, and taking all prepharm classes in CC</p>

<p>is better than it? I'm getting confused. ;(</p>

<p>if someone has any opinion, please advise me</p>

<p>well if you think the CC prepharm classes are too difficult then any university class will be much much harder for you.</p>

<p>I wouldn't make blanket statements like that (could be a crazy community college teacher who can't teach worth anything). But yeah in general if you can't survive cc pharm, maybe pharm isn't the way to go?</p>

<p>Pre-pharm classes in 4 year colleges are HARDER.</p>

But that plan has low possiblity.</p>

<p>And I would get high gpa in CC.</p>

<p>ok, i think i understand what your saying</p>

<p>are you saying that transferring from a CC to a pharm school is more difficult than transfering to a Pharm school from a four year university.</p>

<p>If so, based on what i understand, pharm school is like professional school, in most cases you have to have a bachelors to apply, i might be wrong on this however.</p>

<p>what's ur cc gpa? Make sure u learn to express/articulate yourself well b/c thats a huge part of being a pharmacist.</p>

<p>thank you very much :) </p>

<p>my CC overall gpa is about 3.8~3.9</p>

<p>Are there any particular pharmacy schools you're most interested in? If there are, I'd look at their sites and consider what they require for entrance. I know you can do 2 years at a CC or a 4-year university before getting your PharmD or get a bachelors degree before the pharmacy degree, but I think your best bet is factoring in your time and interests and the atmosphere of wherever you want to transfer.</p>

<p>I always thought that pharmacy school admissions were similar to med school admissions in that it doesn't matter where you go for undergrad, as long as you took the required courses, made good grades, and went the extra mile in extra-curriculars.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
