Pharmacy Questions (UOP vs UCSD)

Hello,
I am currently a senior in high school and I just got into UCSD Revelle college and into a 6 year pharmacy program in UOP.
I was wondering how tough it is to get into the UCSD grad school (or I guess any grad school in California) for pharmacy if I do decide to go there.
Does anybody know how tough it is to graduate, and what the percentage of people who drop out is at both schools?

And if anybody could tell me about the UOP honors program that would be great! Like, how the extra seminars we have to take are like, dorms, etc. Thanks so much.

If you are already in the 3+3 program at UOP then you have it alot easier then most of us on this forum. If you are a pre-pharm as long as you have a 2.7 GPA you are given an interview. As long as you do well on your interview then you are set for pharm school

I dunno about UCSD, but since you are a 3+3, then i would take that chance. The difficulty at UOP depends on how much you study...if you're a slacker, then its gonna be hard. Since you're a 3+3 normally you will be taking gen bio and ochem at the same time, and believe me, Ochem is alot harder at UOP then other places.

Here's the thing, if you are hesitant of your future job, then I would not recommend UOP. If pharmacy is what you truly want, then come on over. I attend UOP and am undergrad. The sciences undergrad are pretty difficult.

how difficult? do people drop out sometimes because of the difficulty level?

Take a look at the following link that posted by j.project. That can answer some of your questions about UOP pre-pharm programs. Good luck!
