Dear all, I am planning to apply for University of Michigan and Wayne State University pharmacy school. Currently, I am taking my classes in a community college. Both schools have different requirements for classes, what should I do in this case? It's impossible for me to finish all the classes. The classes are so different that I don't know which one to choose to maximum my chance. I've already finished all the classes that both schools required. English is not my first language and I really get confused with all the classes. Your any suggestion are appreciated.

Personally I'd go to the cheaper school. Just so you know posting the same question twice isn't the best idea.

I didn't meant to post twice. Sorry for that. I think the people given me right suggestions to prepare for both schools as nobody knows what will happen. I just don't know how to prepare the classes. For example, if I prepare all the classes according to UM, will WSU consider it is good enough? Or I have to finish its own requirement? I just not familiar with this, that's why I ask which kind of classes I should take if I am preparing for two schools. Thanks and do you have any idea? You mean I should take the classes according to WSU if I want to apply for it?

If you want to apply to both schools, you would need to take all the prerequisites that both schools require even if they are completely different. Picking schools to apply takes a lot of planning. I had to do the same thing since almost all schools have their own requirements.

You did answer my question. It seems that I have to take all the classes. In this case, I might just prepare one school. Thanks again and wish you all the best!

"Even the strongest candidate should have a backup school" - R2pharmD2

It was good advice to me in the WAMC thread, and I think it applies here too. Definitely pick a #1, but you should also strongly consider picking a #2 (or more). You may want to pick schools at least partially on how similar their prereqs are.

That being said, I believe virtually all schools require Bio I & II, Gen Chem I & II, Orgo I & II, and some combination of A&P. Most require 2 English classes (101 & 102 at my college), some Physics, and some level of math (not all require Calculus). So, that can get you started for a semester or two (or four) while you think about it.

I've almost finished the general ones. The pre-requires that these two schools asked are so different that I don't know what classes should I take. It seems that this year I probably only finish one school first. I am just wondering why they don't ask the same? That would be much easier for all of us.
