Yeah you can't get ahead in pharmacy school. The classes all build on each other, so you have to take them in order at a specific time.
QFT.
Conversely, if you fail a single course (which, I doubt you'd do considering your background), there's a high chance you're stuck until next year due to the lock step nature of pharmacy school.
It's not possible because of accredidation issues at 4 yr institutions, I tried even with taking all the courses in the PharmD curriculum I could fininsh in 3.5 years but they can't let me because of ACPE.
You should apply to some three year programs dude.
I am a student at MCPHS in their "accelerated" program, it is 2 years and 10 month at MCPHS which is about standard, you go year round, but you have a month break at xmas and like 3 weeks in May. We do the same stuff as the Boston 4 year campus but we just do those 2 semesters in the summer instead. When I applied last year there were 5 accelerated programs that I was aware of. in the Northeast, there was Albany, Lake Erie and MCPHS. All had advantages and disadvantages, I didn't apply to Albany because you need a B in all your prereqs and I ended up with a B- in a 1 credit Organic lab and they wouldn't take it, even though I had an A in lecture. MCPHS- Manchester was closer to my home in Maine, so I went there. So far no complaints, although like all pharm programs, it is intense.

Yeah. There's no shame in profiting off of dummies. Car makers do it all the time! 😆
