[SoulZero]

Hi guys I chose U-Mich over Purdue,USP,Wisconsin, & Albany because it's ranked Top 5 Best Pharmacy college:

Questions:
1) I look at U-Mich requirement for pharmacy school, they require 73 Credits. If my math is right 73 Credit can be completed in 2 years?

2) Preference are given to school first right?

3) When should I take the pcat test?

4) Since I'm Taking the PCAT, What classes should I begin with?

5) Is 73 Credit hard to complete in 2 years? I notice the avg is 15 Credit a semester.

6) Any other advice or recommendation Thanks!

Source: http://pharmacy.umich.edu/pharmacy/pre-pharmacy_curriculum Yeah, you work really hard.

2) Preference are given to school first right? ??? WTF?

3) When should I take the pcat test? Before applying

4) Since I'm Taking the PCAT, What classes should I begin with? Prereqs. Go to the pharmacy board

5) Is 73 Credit hard to complete in 2 years? I notice the avg is 15 Credit a semester. Up to you. If you are a superman, you can take 99 credits per day

6) Any other advice or recommendation Thanks!
Don't set your goal to Michigan. Take all the prereqs and PCAT. Apply broadly. Who knows you can get into Michigan for sure or not ?

GOOD LUCK

IS preference given to students attending the school is what I meant.

3) When should I take the pcat test? Before applying

4) Since I'm Taking the PCAT, What classes should I begin with? Prereqs. Go to the pharmacy board

5) Is 73 Credit hard to complete in 2 years? I notice the avg is 15 Credit a semester. Up to you. If you are a superman, you can take 99 credits per day Realistically Please

6) Any other advice or recommendation Thanks!

I see what you mean now. If you go to Michigan for undergrad, ensure you volunteer, ass-kiss, sleep with the people in department of pharmacy.

Yes, you will have a better chance than other people from other undergrads.

Ensure a 4.0 GPA, high PCAT, get some decent ECs . At the end, you will receive a fat envelope.

73/2=36.5

You gonna have to take 18/19 credits per semester. It's doable. But it requires lot of work.

You should consider taking some credits in summer.
