This is just an opinion question.. which would help out more in Pharmacy school, a BS in Chemistry or in BioChemistry? Both are hard/great majors, but which do you think is more helpful?

Biochem. Since drug metabolism affects biochem (enzymes, etc). It should make Med Chem, Pharmaceutics, etc more understandable.
 
In my school, most students who r interested in getting a PharmD degree choose Biochem as their major, which includes me.
I guess the stuff we learn in biochem classes r useful when u enter a pharm school.
