Can someone tell me what classes you definately have to take before taking the pcat? I plan on applying to pharm. school after 2 years of undergrad. I'll list the math/sci courses I plan to take my freshman and sophmore years.

FRESHMAN:
Gen. Chem 1/2
Gen. Bio 1/2
Calc 1/2

SOPHMORE:
Orgo 1/2
Stats 1
Micro 1
Phys 1

Believe it or not, that fulfills St. John Fishers prereqs.
 
If I plan on attending pharm school in the fall of 2012, when should I take the pcat?

2011 when you apply to PharmCAS. The best time is the June before (I think it's the 19th every year) you plan to attend, however lots of folks take it later in the year and just update their supplementals/applications with the PCAT score.

You can almost always amend your application/PharmCAS information (For academic progress, etc) and that's how that'll be handled.
