I graduated from high school a year ago, and from what I understand it usually takes 2 years of pre pharm work to actually apply to a pharmacy school. Right now all the classes I have left to take are my science ones. Gen Chem 1 and 2, orgo chem 1 and 2, gen bio, anatomy, and microbiology. I am taking General Chem 1 and Anatomy this summer (I had taken these courses in high school so I have a bit of familiarity with them already). Then I plan on doing Gen Chem 2 and Biology for the upcoming fall. Then next spring I am doing Orgo Chem 1 with Microbiology to end it all with Orgo Chem 2 next summer. Should I apply to pharmacy school for the 2015-2016 semester or wait for the 2016-2017 semester? I am currently at a 3.1 in my pre requisites GPA, and I am hoping to average an A- for the rest of these classes. When would be a great time to take the PCAT? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Here's a layout of my ideal schedule:
Summer 2014: General Chem 1
Anatomy and Physiology
Fall 2014: General Chem 2
General Biology
Spring 2015: Organic Chem 1
Microbiology
Summer 2015: Organic Chemistry 2
