Hello everyone! I love these forums. I've gained some much knowledge Pharm school all in place! However, there are a few things that I can't figure out or just am not sure.
I am currently a student Penn State University (University Park, Main Campus) and am a junior (gonna start my 6th semester). Right now, I'm majoring biotechnology however recently I've had a growing interest in Pharmacy. And am highly thinking about applying to a Pharmacy school. However, I can't figure out what exactly I should be applying for.
Should I be applying for a Pharm.D? How long does this usually take (3-6 years more after I get my BS in biotechnology, right)?
Since I am in my 6th semester when should I start applying? I was thinking about taking the PCATs late summer/early fall and start applying in fall. Is that too late?
Also, I am no exactly sure what I should be researching exactly for Pharmacy schools besides the requirements and what not. What are something I should pay attention to? Or must have researched? Any sort of help or guidance in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
