Hello,
I am currently a Junior in High School. And I had a few(ALOT) of questions that I need answering and help on for my future.
As most know, the college applications are due in senior year and there is little time left till then. I have decided that I would like to become a pharmacist because of my performance in Science and math classes, I see my decision as fit.
I have done a little research about becoming a pharmacist but still there are some questions lingering in my mind.
1) What is the the best pharmacist program? the 6+0 year, dual diploma PharmD/MBA or taking the traditional 8 years?
2) Exactly what requirements do I need to join pharmacy school?
-Currently I have unweighted of 3.46 and weighted of 4.1. (In IB program)
-I have taken number of science classes and by the end of high school my science courses would look something like this (3years of biology(2years in HL and one for pre-IB), 2years of Chemistry, anatomy and physiology and physics)
-I haven't yet given the SAT, but according to practice tests I can score around 2000 solidly.
3) What are some of the best pharmacy schools out there? I would like something near Delware. So Maryland, Penn, North Carolina, Virgina are states that I have choose from.
4) Can I get around how much tuition I need to pay to the end of PharmD? And will the salary I get from work in retail stores able to pay for that?
5) Money is a factore for everything. So I was wondering is the 100K salary that most sites state true?
I will appreciate anyone putting their time and answering some or all my questions.
