Major in Pharmacy?
Asked by winter101I plan on going into the six year Pharm D. program this fall..will I make it? I need an honest answer please. I got eighties in chem last year. I currently have a ninety four in physics. I'm currently in ap calc( managing eighties). I've taken other ap courses for english and history, which I had no problem with. I have a 94.65 overall gpa and am invovlved in a lot of extracurricular activites. I got a 1750 on my SAT and a 25 on my ACT. I got accepted to albany college of pharmacy and university of sciences in philadelphia, I got rejected from the program at Wilkes. Any info would be grealty appreciated.

Congrats! It's a competitive program so getting in means that the college thinks that YOU can do it, so you've got to think that you can, too! I'm in pharmacy school and am halfway done with the 6 year program (I got into it from highschool,too!). It's much different than highschool-which is good and bad. You'll have to study ALOT and most of the material you won't find remotely interesting (pharmakinetics, pharmacology, pharmadynamics...it can be very tedious at times...) but the good thing is that there is less class time so that you can study independently so it helps to be an independent and motivated learner (take my advice on that, it was a tough freshman year adjustment for me!) Again, I dont know the numbers, but I have heard that getting into pharmacy school is more difficult than some of the medical school programs so you've worked hard for it. It doesn't mean you'll not have to work hard, but it means that you can do it!
