Hey-

Do you know anyone who got accepted into UCSF or USC with a few cc classes???

I took some CC classes after my BA (non science) and was wondering if I should retake these classes or not?

Thanks😳

Yup. I think I took like 5 CC classes. All non science.
 
I have a friend who's a P3 at UCSF and he got in solely on CC classes. All of the prereqs were A's though. Also had some 3 years of pharmacy tech experience.

Also, he had no Bachelors degree. So it's possible.
 
What's really amazing is that his wife had the same stats. Only CC and no bachelor's degree and also got admitted the next year. So, its totally possible.

wow, you don't see that everyday, a husband and his wife at the same school- very impressive..
 
I don't think it matters much really. I took some classes in the summer in my local cc in the bay area (DVC) and UCSF and USC are totally cool with it.

yup, I retook intro to molecular/cell bio, intro to organismal bio, organic chem, and took physiology and anatomy (technically not required, but required to take phys) at CC San Francisco and Canada College.
 
Took GChem I/II, OChem I/II, Calc I/II, Physics I/II, Anat/Phys, Bio I/II, and most other prereqs at CC.
Ended up with a BS in BioChem though, so I figure they knew I could handle pharm school despite all the CC classes.
 
I took ALLL my science pre-reqs at a CC.

I got accepted to USC and got an interview invite at UCSF (which I turned down). 😛
 
I think it'd drive me crazy if I had my wife in my classes.

Maybe during the honeymoon phase but we're in year 4 going on 5, so class together every day just sounds not fun.

What would be funny is if they had decided to go on their honeymoon during rotations.. "Honey, how bout we kick it right here at CVS...."
