Usually, poeple I know with BA in science end up teaching middle/high schools, which doesn't attract me at all. Like other posters, a BS requires you to study more about sciences/labs/critical thinking skills than a BA does. PharmD is all about sciences/labs/critical thinking skills, so a BS is obivously more advantageous than a BA. Plus, it takes more classes and time to complete a BS compared to a BA. I personally have a BS in biochem and that'd give me a plus when applying for jobs like positions in biotech companies compared to a BA. And for pharmacy school, I believe it gave me an advantage over other people having BS (that's just my thought)
