Age: 21

Undergrad: UCLA - graduating in 2005 with an Economics B.A. GO ECON! Yeah.. I'm one of those econ nerds. 😉

Pharmacy: Hmm.. applying at the moment.. (UOP, USN, UNM, ..) but possibly waiting a year to get more pharm experience/finish prereqs.

Jobs: Pharmacy Volunteer, Med Center Intern, Computing Lab Assistant -- I'm a workaholic.

What?! an econ major?? Yeah I always liked econ since high school, so I stuck with it when I got into college.. but I always wanted to do something in healthcare where I got help people.. so here I am.

My first post! 😀
 
I can't remember if I posted in this thread... 😀

Name: Linda
Age: 18
Institution- UCLA undergrad. First year! Yes, I am a freshy...anyone willing to be my guardian angel???
Major- Undecided- but most likely a life science major.
Pharmacy Schools I want to apply to- all the cali schools and probably some out-of-state, might take the pcat for that reason. And might try for Pharmd/mba...but I don't know if I could do it. However, I still have time to decide.
My thoughts about college life- Chem is hard!!! Especially when you can't remember high school chem. Now you see why I need a guardian angel. I kind of already have one, but the more help the better!

P.S. UCLA has lots of squirrels. Never seen so many all in one place.
