Pharmacy School without BS.. is it possible?

[deniz_serifoglu]

Hello everyone,

right now I'm a student at community college and I will be finished all GE class by this semester and also math and physics classes. I am planning to apply in 2017 in CA let say all cali pharmacy school. Btw I'm in San Diego and I hope to get in Western University ( Pomona ). So my question is, is it possible to get acceptance without BS ? does anyone here did it? what things should I do to get in, like volunteering or whatever thing? Right now I'm a volunteer at UCSD Health System in pharmacy and also a pharmacy tech at Walgreen.

Thanks in advance

I read the title as, "Pharmacy school without bull****....is it possible?"


I was ready to answer with a stern and resounding, "No."

CA schools are very very competitive, there are however, a lot of new candidate schools which seem to be less competitive (As of now...), but Western states that a bachelor's is recommended (not required)
You should apply to UCSD since you're from SD

which pharmacy school did you get into?

That's exactly what I'm doing as well. Changed my path after working with an amazing pharmacist who only did her 3yr prereqs and got into UofA. I was planning to get a bachelor's but I'm not getting any younger.

Yes.
How do I know? Experience.

Remember possible does not mean probable. I would apply also to schools out of state.

It's probable - in fact, almost guaranteed as schools will take just about anyone willing to hand over $200k+ in tuition. However, probable does not mean it's a good idea.
