I'm a junior. I've taken biology, chemistry, and now I'm taking chem 2. Most juniors are taking physics right now, but i thought chem 2 would be better. Next year i think i'm going to take two science classes, Anatomy and Physiolgy, and Cell Biology. Should I take physic's instead of taking one of these classes.

Absolutely. You are going to need that. It will help you prepare for physics in college. Most people have a hard time with this class so start now. Those other 2 classes I don't think are going to help you much.Good call on taking chem 2 though, the more chemistry in this field, the better. Also, most colleges require that you spend 2 years in pre-pharmacy before they will except you. And there is also the pcat (test required for you to take before being accepted into pharmacy program) So look into these.

Well, you're going to be taking more chemistry than biology, in pre-pharmacy. If you want to base it on that, then go ahead. In that case, I'd take Chem 2, and Cell Biology, because cell biology seems to work more into the biology classes you'll be taking, more than Anatomy and Physiology.
You also might want to look at it like, "hey, why should I waste my time taking those classes now, when I'm going to take them in college?" Then, just take what you want.
I'm not saying either way is right or wrong.

I would take cell biology over physics. Overall, though. . . you basically want to take classes that will look impressive to admissions as well as keep your GPA up. . . don't take something that looks impressive but may lower your GPA. In the end, most of your prep for a Pharmacy program will be done at the University level. Right now you want to focus on raising your chances of being admitted to the college of your choice.

Your best bet is to find the Pharmacy school that you are interested in and find out what the requirements are for admission. I wouldn't be too concerned about physics, but make sure you have LOTS of organic chemistry knowledge - that may come into play during your first/second year of university....Good Luck!

You should take the physics. Physics is required at almost every pharmacy college. It'll be easier to get the basics down in high school than in college.

Dear Nikki,
Take all the chemistry and Math classes you are able to. Of couse make sure that your communication and writing skills are focused on also.

Actually those are perfect, Physics is more motion than human - which is what you want to concentrate on. Good luck!

just a classic hard sciences education like you describe AND lots of English with a writing emphasis

the classes you've taken should do for a start
