Hi I would really like to get some input if possible. I am worried that transferring twice could really hurt my chances of getting into medical school. I started out at a more expensive in-state school (far away so I have to live on campus) which we thought we could afford. However, due to...
In NYS controlled substances and first fill prescriptions cannot be transfered to another pharmacy, correct? Well say a patient drops a controlled script off at one CVS and decides they want to pick it up at a different CVS. Does this count as 2 different pharmacies and the transfer cannot be...

Hello everyone,
I have taken AP Biology. Chemistry, and Calculus BC in high school, and I was wondering if dental schools such as UCSF or UCLA allow students to waive classes assuming that we passed the AP test. Thanks!

4. I...
