Hey, how's it going, had a quick question.. I'm a 5th year pharmacy student in a 0-6 PharmD program right now, on track to get a BS in pharmacy in May, and then a PharmD a year after that.. only thing is that a few months ago I sort of decided that pharmacy wasn't really what I'm 100% interested in, and started thinking about pursuing another path such as computer science or maybe chemistry in Grad School. Definitely a pretty big change lol, but it seems somewhat possible from talking to a few people at the computer science school here. I'm sort of conflicted though because I'm not sure whether to just apply to grad school right now and not do the 6th year, or try to apply to grad school after I get my PharmD.. from talking to someone in career services it sounds like a PharmD may make grad schools sort of question why I'm making such a big change in career.. but on the other hand I feel like it could potentially help me, I mean it sounds like such a nice degree I feel, even if I'm not going to be doing something pharmacy related lol. If anyone has any advice on whether finishing the PharmD may be the best option, in helping me get into grad school and also just in general after grad school, or just applying to grad school now with a bachelor's, I would greatly appreciate it.. just feel like I don't have quite enough info to make a good decision.
Thanks!
Thanks!
