<p>Hi, I'm 16 and about to begin my senior year of high school. My GPA is 3.96 and 4.18. I've aced AP classes such as Chemistry and Physics, and I'm darn sure I passed both exams (Haven't got the scores back though) I take many AP classes throughout the school year and do fairly well in all of them. I do multiple extra curricular activities as well (sports, faith based, educational)</p>
<p>Anyway, I really like chemistry and I know I'm going into the medical field and I'm leaning toward the pharmaceutical side of things. My chemistry teacher said he totally approves of me trying out pharmacology because I said I wasn't sure about running a pharmacy store. I think mixing compounds and trying to find a solution to a disease sounds pretty freakin awesome hah. I'm going to go to the University of Kentucky and they have one of the top 3 pharmacy schools in the country, thus making it highly competitive. </p>
<p>So my questions are:
1. Are my grades average/above/below what a typical high school student would need to go into a program like pharmacology?
2. What can I do, as a high school student, to improve my knowledge/skills in this area besides my AP classes, or do I even need to worry about it at this point?
3. What types of jobs are available for pharmacology majors and graduates, and are they stable?
4. (optional) if you so happen to have experience with the classes or career in pharmacology, could you give your opinion on it?</p>
