even though i like pharmacy very much, I want to learn more about medicine and help more people. I think that my knowledge in pharmacy and drugs would make me a better physician. do you think medical schools would discrimate against my application as being a pharmacist?

R U kidding me, we have a few pharm Ds in our med school.

Pharm will be a BREEZE for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I would have done pharm as an undergrad instead of bio...My Boards were killing me in pharm!!!

Could you please list some schools that take PharmD? are you a PharmD also?

If you have the proper prereqs, letters of recommendation, and MCAT scores, there isn't a school in the country that wouldn't consider you just because you're a Pharm.D.

There are lots of people in med school who are starting a second career.

Closing, as this is cross posted. See thread in Pre-allo.
