Im just looking for a little advice on how I should plan the rest of my undergrad. I am currently a rising junior and am taking 6 hours of general ed. classes this summer to get them over with. I also am planning to take the PCAT in July. I am a bio major (chem. minor) and my grades are pretty good (3.7 GPA), but I wanna know if I should take summer classes again next year (Micro and Physiology), along with applying to Pharm. schools. Then take a pretty intense fall semester my Senior year and graduate a semester early, not to mention save about $7,000 (tuition and apartment) or just not worry about it and take my time. Also if I did graduate early I would more than likely get a lot more shadowing and volunteer hours. Any advice would be helpful! :)

Well, if you graduate early, it probably wont matter shadowing wise if you can get more hours in or not, because by that time admissions process will be winding down and you will be already admitted most likely. So think of it in terms financial savings and if you can pull off having a tough semester paired with flying out to multiple interviews which can get pretty intense depending on how many you get invited to and choose to go to.

Yup, sounds like cool tip.

Yeah, guess it is just a financial savings and a risk on grades. Thank You!
