I currently have a 3.45 gpa as a first year student. I took Bio and Chem together the same year. I got B- for Bio and B+ for chem. Do you think i should retake Bio and try getting an A? I'm a Biology major, but is it really necessary to be a Bio major to do well in Pharmacy school? Should i consider changing majors to something else because you can't really do much with only a Bio major. What do you guys recommend for my pre-pharmacy track. I took Bio and Chem already and i plan on taking Physics over the summer. When should i take other science classes?

No

No

Any degree will do. Pick something you are interested in. If you are worried about finding a job if you don't get into pharmacy, talk to an advisor and see what they say about alternative careers.

What do you guys recommend for my pre-pharmacy track. I took Bio and Chem already and i plan on taking Physics over the summer. When should i take other science classes?

Most of the science classes are sequence classes. So, if you take Physics I over the summer, then take Physics II in Fall. There is orgo I and II and A&P I and II. Just be cautious about taking too many science courses at one time.

+1 to Lea.

How're your math classes going OP?

Thanks for your reply. If i do take Physics over the summer, it will cover I and II. Right now, since i'm still a Bio major, I would have to take Ochem, Genetics (1st sem), Cell Bio (2nd sem) for my soph yr. I'm worried that this would not be helping my gpa.
