How many years did it take you to complete prerequistes for pharmacy schools?

[bottlecap1990]

Or I should say how many semesters? Did you have a bachelor's degree?

thank you.

I finished my prerequisites in 3 semester, which translates into a very large load. I also have a bachelor's degree which allowed me to finish in less time than most.

I got the bare prerequisites finished within 2 years including both summers. This summer, I'll have two more to go (physics and elective).

8 semesters, includes 1 summer (haha I got kinda lazy when I took organic and physics).... no bachelors...

 

[trailrider400]

Had a bachelors and used the 5 year plan.

I had a Bachelor's (two, in fact) and am putting the finishing touches on my pre-requisites right now. Total time post-Bachelor's: 2 years including summers. (16 units a semester).

9 Semesters - from the day that I got out of the military to the very first day of pharmacy school.

I finished my last Pre-req 10 or 13 days before pharmacy school started.

I started in the Spring of 08' and finished in the Spring of 09', so it took me one year. I already had a degree so I was able to skip about three classes, other than that I had some pretty large loads each semester.

I got a B.S. in chemistry then went to grad school where I'll finish my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry this July and I'm taking my last pre-req (zoology) this summer. All in all I've spent about ten years to get into pharmacy school.

I have a BS in BioChemistry (didn't decide to go into pharmacy until 3rd year so I decided I might as well finish up) so it only took me one additional semester to finish my pre-reqs.

I had a BA in English, so I needed 4 regular semester and 2 summers, although I was only full-time for one of those.

 

[ilRXgirl89]

I just finished my prerequisites during the past 4 semesters and took 3 summer classes in between my freshman and sophomore year. I had a really heavy courseload and basically no summer but at least im finally done

 

[drpharMD]

7 semesters - including summers. But I have to complete one more class this summer, so technically it will be 7.5.

 

[Jooks]

2 years, four semesters, didnt need any summers, 3.76 gpa, lol Im 19

 

[Monalyce]

8 semesters (with only 12 hours during this last one!) but will finish with a BS (double major in Molecular & Cellular Bio and Psychology) when I graduate in 11 days.

 

[TooNice]

2 years of undergrad is what i did....i also took 2 summer classes and one winter session class to lighten the load during my sophomore year (taking 3 science/math classes per semester with labs was not fun during freshman year :/ )

 

[Farmercyst]

8 years. 95-96, 2000-2007

Mostly 12-14 units/semester. Would have been faster but I went BS Biochem, Biology minor, was married and had 2 kids in the process while working 30+hrs/week.

Now that is dedicated. My hat's off to you!

i finished all of them in 6 semesters and 2 summers (organic 1 and 2, microbio). i'm not sure if i'm going to stick it out for 2 more years and graduate or apply to pharmacy school this year.

 

[UAMShopeful]

It took me about 10 years...lol, but I took some pretty big breaks. I dont have a BS but, I'm only about 20hrs away from it. Also, I'm married, I've had two kids for most of the ten, never worked less than 40hrs/week and payed it all as I went (never went into debt paying for class). If I took out the breaks it really took me about 6 years, and there were many semesters where I would only take 1-2 classes at a time.
