I graduated high school in 2011. I had a 3.7 unweighted gpa and got a 33 on the act. I was also an elected offjcer of nhs.I got accepted into U of M Ann Arbor and went into pre-pharm with aspirations of being a pharmacist. I completed my first semester with a 2.9. Gpa. Not long into winter semester, while home, I got arrested for domestic violence. I had to leave U of M because the DV led to a lot of missed class time.
I decided to take a breather year at this point, w a total of 22 credits I figured I wouldnt lose to much time. While home during this past year long break, I was arrested again for domestic violence. I received misdemeanor convictions on both counts and was sentenced to 6 days in jail and lots of community service. Both times I was drunk.U of M gave me 2 years from winter 2012 to return before I have to re-apply, so I could return without them knowing my criminal history as late as next winter. However it was very very tough there, I really had to work hard to get that 2.9 my first semester. I have heard other schools, particularly ferris, have much easier pre pharm courses. Obviously a U of M degree would earn more respect, but in the end a degree is a degree and it wont affect your income much.
So my questions are, #1. Would I still be accepted to other Michigan undergrad schools (such as MSU, Ferris State, etc.)? Im highly confident they will not turn me down based on academic achievement or personality, after all, U of M accepted me. But these 2 misdemeanors really scare me about my chances of pursuing my dream of working in the med field.
#2. Would these 2 misdemeanors affect my chances for getting into a doctorate college of pharmacy (assuming I keep a gpa of 2.5 or higher), again such as MSU or Ferris or Wayne
