I'm currently a community college student planning on pursuing a career in Pharmacy. I spent the past two years going back and forth between different career paths, and ultimately I have always returned back to a mindset to go the Pharmacy/Health-related route.
However, of course, with all this "soul searching", I feel as if I wasted a lot of time in my two years at community college, so I was looking for some advice.
As far as prerequisites go, I would have completed Calculus I, General Chem I, and General Chem II at my community college with A's.
However, I decided to not take anymore courses that would be considered prerequisites for most Pharmacy schools this year at community college.
I realize many members on this forum has successfully completed prerequisites at a community college and have been accepted into Pharmacy schools, but of course, I'm very paranoid and worried about it, so I would like to know if the following "plan" seems wise.
Plan:
1. Complete any additional General Education requirements required for my transfer university's Biology requirements. (Economics, History, English, etc)
2. Transfer to a four-year university, complete a Bachelors Degree in Biology
3. Take PCATS, and apply to Pharmacy Schools
Does this "plan" seem logical or wise to do? Since I will have a whole year without any science classes, I'm planning on spending the entire summer before I transfer reviewing my General Chem I and II, and Calculus I.
