I know various pharmacy schools require different prerequisites. Besides Bio, Chem, Ochem, Physics, what other prerequisites is required for many Pharmacy schools. Like should take Biochem, genetics, cell molecular, economics, Stats?

Also, for recommended courses such as histology, physiology, immunology, which one would be most helpful for pharmacy school

Search fn... but...

Econ and stats are required at most - some sort of writing class is required pretty much everywhere and also some other general ed classes. Physiology is required at many schools.

Most pharmacy schools have you take courses in biochem and immunology in p1 year but that doesn't mean taking them as an undergrad isn't going to help you.

do you recommend me sticking with Bio major? or should i change my major to less rigorous one and take the appropriate classes for pharmacy school like immunology.

Those are not required courses at most schools but they might come in handy especially Biochem and Genetics.

I don't think any schools require or recommend taking Histology. Physiology and Immunology will definitely be helpful once you are in pharmacy school.

I would suggest sticking it out. Plus I am a Bio major as well.
