Say you have already taken:

1. General Chem for Engineers 1 and 2

2. Calculus for Mathematical and Physical Sciences 1 and 2 + Advanced Calc for engineering...

3. Analytical Physics


And you were applying to Pharm School........

Would these courses work as a substitute for the following courses:

1. General Chem 1 and 2

2. Calc 1

3. Elements of Physics....


I mean.........the above courses are at a much more advanced level compared to the below ones.......so.....I'm guessing the colleges should accept those courses as substitutes......The below ones are simply basic versions........knowledge from those courses is needed for the above courses........I'm guessing...........

Or would they require me to take the basic courses all over again???

I think you probably have to check with the schools you are applying to....

I think you should wait and take the advice of someone you've never met before and never will meet and go with that as if its expert testimony.

That way, when you turn everything in on your application and they are all 😕 you can say... oh no, but Prepharm123 on SDN said it was all good.

Seriously man, email your pharm schools of choice. Notice I said email... that way you have a record of their response so they can't change their mind later.

Check information online, such as articulation tables, pharmcas, or other info posted on the school's websites. Generally courses for science majors are required. I'm not sure engineering would be considered a science major, but given the dependence on physical sciences, there's a good possiblity it would be.
