Pharmacy School (bachelor, doctors, bachelor degree, score)

Hi Friends
As u know I have to have a bachelor degree before I apply to a pharmacy school. the question is : if I spent the first 2 years of my first bachelor degree in a community college, is that gonna effect my chances to be accepted in a pharmacy school ?

You don't even need a BS/BA. You just need a list of prerequisite classes and a PCAT score. A BS is helpful though. I don't think 2 years at CC will hurt you as long as you have a good GPA at the 4 year. One thing I've seen is especially with chemistry is in CC it is so much easier that students who then transfer to a 4 year get their buts kicked in general and organic chemistry. I TA'd preparatory and general chemistry so I know.

This is from a quick search from SDN. City data is not the place to go for these types of questions.

Community College or University? | Pre-Pharmacy | Student Doctor Network

Community College question!!!!!! | Pre-Pharmacy | Student Doctor Network

You should search around Student Doctor Network Forums | An educational community for students and doctors spanning all the health professions. around the pharmacy section. A great deal of useful information is in there. Even the main website has nice stuff too.

There are also school specific discussions as well

UC San Diego - The Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences also has some nice information on UCSD pharm admissions
