I have been out of school for a while and plan to apply for pharmacy. I don't know how I can get the LORs. Any advice? I have BS in Biology.

Thank you all for helping me. I graduated from UCLA 10 years ago so I don't think any professor will remember me!!. (Am I too old for pharmacy?) I was working, out of job about a year, volunteering at Red Cross now. I'll check with pharmacy like Jack said.
Bhavesh, with the BS in Biology, do I need to take pre-req classes?
Farmercyst, when you mentioned getting to know a pharmacist, you meant working with them right?
Opa, could you please explain more about auditing a graduate class?
i also granduated from university about 10years ago. i had to retake all prerequisites because some schools don't give me any credits for classes i took 10 years ago.. Most schools require "fresh credits".. you need to find it out first, then retake it if you have to...Thank you all for helping me.

Check first with the schools you want to appy to!
I also graduated from undergrad 10 years ago. (I can't believe it)..... and I got accepted to both Midwestern CCP and UIC for this fall.
I had two missing pre-reqs (Anatomy and Physiology and Speech - only because I never took them in college)
I took them at a community college this school year at night after work and on the weekend.
Before I applied to UIC I had their admissions counselor verify which classes would be accepted and what I was missing. I was told that based on my coursework and work experience that all the pre-req classes I had taken would count.
I never asked midwestern actually, but it never came up as an issue that I had taken most of my pre-reqs more than 10 years ago (I graduated from undergrad in 1997).
One thing that might have helped - I got a 96 on the PCAT and I studied very hard to make sure schools knew I still had a good grasp on what I had learned in college.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's good to know that I'm not alone and if you can make it, I'll try hard to make it. By the way how did you get your LORs? Thanks

I asked my Chemistry professor to write me one. I planned on applying this year, but decided that I would be better prepared next year. If she writes me the letter now Will it be OK to apply with next June 2008? They don't expire. Do they?
i have a question about LORS, i'm sure this was discussed before i cant find it though, but will it affect my chances that much if i read my rec. letters? i really want to!, just to make sure they have on there what i want, but i dont want to if it will ruin my chances
