Having changed my career path/schools/majors quite a few times, I should have at least a Bachelor's by now at 22 years old. I decided recently to finally just pursue Pharmacy school once and for all. I've been a retail tech for over 3 years now, and I'm about to become certified in January. Plenty of contact with Pharmacists who can give me great letters of recommendation, even the District Managers of CVS in my area like me and would probably be willing to give me some LORs.
I've taken General Chem 1 & 2, Bio 1, and I'm currently finishing up Bio 2 and Calculus. I've taken a crap load of other general courses and electives (English/Literature classes, Psychology classes, etc).
I already have about $45K in student loan debt and I'm not even in Pharmacy school yet, or really anywhere close to be honest (well, depending on where I apply I guess). I'm thinking of transferring out of my 4-year school and going back to my local CC to complete my pre-reqs to save some money.
Are there any schools that have a reputation of generally being more accepting of applicants that have a large chunk of pre-reqs taken at a Community College? Specifically in the Northeast area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachussets, Rhode Island, etc. I'm from Long Island, and ideally I'd like to attend a Pharmacy school as close to home as possible).
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
