And what makes you think you provided enough information for anyone to feel confident about giving such an advice?

Food science? Med school? Pharmacy? Did a former Beatle write this?

Her name was Magil,
And she called herself Lil,
But everyone knew her as Nancy

wow u've probably irritated some ppl with that comment.👎

look, u're obviously looking at pharm as a stepping stone. So ask yourself, 'would I be happy as a pharmacist if i can never make it into med school"?

if the answer is no, then don't bother.

if the answer is 'maybe? i guess i can settle'... what do you know about pharmacy as a career? have u job-shadowed? would you regret it down the road? especially wen you have to communicate with the doctors and wait for them to call you back to correct prescriptions etc etc.. would u be bitter and wished you were in their shoes instead?

if ur reasoning is that u'll apply to pharm then go to med school.... good luck raising your GPA in the pharm curriculum 😱

bottom line: you should do a major in something that you are interested in... or else you'll be stuck in dead-ends if you never make it into that med school of yours.
