I would kind of like to get out of undergrad and go to pharmacy school ASAP. To get accepted to University of Southern Nevada - Henderson My schuedule would look like this



Summer 2007- Semester Chemistry 1 (5 week course)
1 quarter Microbiology (10 week course)

Fall 2008- Semester Chemistry 2 (full semester)
1 Quarter Calculus
1 Quarter Speech

Winter/Spring 2008- Semester O Chem
1 quarter Calculus
Human Anatomy

Summer 2008- Semester O Chem 2 (5 week course)
Human physiology (5 week course)


Is it possible to get a good grade in a semester of Chem/ O Chem 2 in 5 week courses? Would the school even consider me this September with all my classes being so last minute?

My GPA is 3.8. I have taken/am taking stats,algebra,trig,bio1,bio2,bio3,english,humanities

They do not require PCAT. I do not have pharmacy experience.


Do I just need to slow down and try to get in after 3 years or should I try? Does anyone have any advice?

When you say this September I'm assuming you mean Fall 2008 since there's no way to get in this September (07) if you've got that many classes. Next September would be fine in terms of your courseload. Only you know how much you can handle in terms of your load, though. I'd say it can be done, other people have. I wouldn't do it though. I'd take it over two years and try to pull in some pharmacy experience along the way. You can get it without it at some schools, USC for instance has some students that didn't have experience before starting school there. I don't know if USN is one of those schools though. For that you'd be better off reading some of the USN threads.
