Helllo, I'm currently a Sophomore at Phoenix College. I have had my eye on Midwestern University in Glendale. I was wondering a few things because I visited Midwestern a year ago and asked about what it took to get into their pharmacy school. He had mentioned that most of the applicants accepted already had their bachelor's degree from ASU. 😕
So, I decided to get my prereq's done at a CC, transfer to ASU to major in Biochemistry, volunteer for a few months of shadowing a pharmacist, continue working as Phtech, attain my BA, take the PCAT, and apply.
However, my advisor at PC, attended a conference at Midwestern and has a sheet with over two pages of names of those who were attending Midwestern from PC. He managed to convince me of their prepharmacy checklist that accepts students from PC and I decided to go for my Associate's in Science, instead. 🙄
I planned on volunteering this year to shadow a pharmacist and studying on Orgo I so maybe I could take Orgo I during the summer? Not sure yet but I will get everything else done before next July, besides Orgo I and II. If not, I planned on working as a Phtech throughout that year while I take Orgo I and II and maybe take the PCAT afterward then apply. I have a 4.0 at PC and I've been to a private school throughout grade school and high school so I absolutely love smaller schools like PC as opposed to ASU. 👍
Will somebody PLEASE tell me this is the path they took for PC or another CC or is it better to get your BA? Since it is a doctorate program?? It's been driving me nuts!
