I want to go to pharmacy school in CA I was thinking to apply without bachelor's degree but unfortunately UCSD is require degree for pharmacy school so i want to major in some thing short because i want the degree just for pham and i think math major is take less time than other science majors as biochemistry and microbiology indeed i like math and I'm doing very well in calculus 1?
so now is math major good?
how long will take? if i'm gonna take id t SDSU?
ANY OTHER ADVICE?

Why pharmacy? A math major opens the door to careers in finance, engineering, computer programming, etc. that are prestigious, highly paid, and do not require you to take out $200k+ in loans and spend an additional 4 years in school.

You still need to take general and organic chemistry, but it's not that you need to do well now that you don't really need good grades anymore to get into pharmacy school. However, you will have a very tough time getting through some of the P1 and P2 courses including pharmaceutics and med chem if you are not good at chem.

If you hate chemistry, you will not like pharmacy at all
I strongly discourage you to pursue pharmacy
Pharmacy is for people who like chemistry and hate math 😀

Guys! I'm still a bit confused with my career goals. Been working on it. I'm thinking of majoring in either Genetics or regular Biology. (which do you think is more relevant for pharmacy school?)
