I just recently immigrated from the Philippines, and back there i am a 3rd year pharmacy student (pharmacy course over there is way different from here, 4 years; no pre-pharmacy course needed nor any pcat test require, its just go up to the university then apply for the course, basically anybody can get in).
so right now i haven't done any progress. and the schools that i wanted to apply is LIU, or SJU.
my questions are:
1. should i apply for a transfer before getting my grades evaluated/turned/translated into a US grading system? or should i fix my transcript first before applying?
2. do i still need to get a bachelors degree or not? since i think i've taken basically half of the subjects of a pharmacy course here.
3. opinions or insights about the universities i wanted to apply?

and i don't know what to ask anymore. tips? advice? insights? reactions? etc?

Try to contact individuals schools and see what they recommend. Some programs do not allow foreign credits to transfer, some schools require a bachelors degree, and some schools do not accept transfer students into their pharmacy programs. The only way to know is to contact them and ask. Then you should have an idea of what needs to be done

Thank you. 🙂

LIU accepts transfers, but SJU does not. You should also look into touro college if you are applying with a 4 year degree.
