Ive finally decided upon my major and Ive decided Pharmacy, After taking the pre-pharmacy prerequisites, how is university life? Is it alot harder? I wasnt the best student in chem. and bio in highschool but I really want to do this even if it takes studying all day and going to tutoring if I have to. Any tips and that would help.. Thanks.

Well, the prepharmacy coursework is not easy. You are regularly competing against other prePharms and preMeds. The key to success is to regularly go to lecture, take notes, and study. Do not be afraid to go to your prof or TAs office hours. Chem and Bio are very important. To be competitive, you will need about a 3.5 GPA and a PCAT of at least 75. The hardest prereq for me was physics; that was evil.
Also, you don't really have to do much conversion between metric and imperial because most of the given info is given in metric.
Good luck!

So you want to be a (legal) drug-dealer?
My father and my sis are both one.
Study your tail off in chemistry, chemistry reactions and interactions. Organic chemistry, Biology. Some medical terminology.
Learn and understand concentrations and mass and how to convert between the two in both english and S.I. units.
ex. a 70 kg person needs to have a medicine at a concentration of 0.5 mg/50 kg body mass on a once per day basis, how much of the medicine, in ml, do they need to take if it comes in 100 mg/liter bottles?
G/L to you.
