Answer 1

It's pretty hard to tell you what you're going to be so I'll tell you what I'm doing right now. Right now I'm attending a local college and completing all of my general requirements (English, math, etc.) after i complete them i am going for a bachelors degree in science, but a bachelors degree in anything will work. With that degree, weather it be in science, English, whatever you will be able to then choose your career, you can take that degree to a medical school, a journalism school, whatever you prefer. This way it buys you time with choosing a life career and allows you to get a feel for college and what you would like to pursue, also if you stay in state it will be a lot cheaper. Best of luck to you in whatever you choose to do!

Answer 2

The best thing to do is go to college first (get in/get accepted). I would suggest knocking out all the required stuff while you try to decide what you'd like to do.

I would also suggest going to a community college for the basic classes, it's cheaper (and you can work on that GPA), but keep in mind that some credits won't transfer to some Universities you may want to go to...so check first!

The other thing that could be helpful is your ACT/SAT scores. If they are out of the ballpark...don't sweat it... you're golden. If they're average...you'll need to work hard, but you can do it.

Answer 3

My suggestion is that if you really want to become a pharmasist you should take some transferable courses at a community college, that way you can get a feel for the college lifestyle, and have college units along with your high school GPA to show a University.

Answer 4

GPA doesn't mean as much as it used to. How well do you test? You can easily make up for poor GPA with a good score on the ACT/SAT and still follow your dream. They have exploratory classes in college for people like you that don't know what to be and you can take them while getting your generals out of the way and get credit for it as a bonus.

Answer 5

just because you are not an ace at high school, doesn't mean that you won't shine the brightest in the real world. public school support and breed mediocrity. struggle thru and graduate and look towards your future.
don't set unrealistic goals, but don't be swayed to continue being so-so at everything you do. you can excel, you just need to be challenged.
find an organization to volunteer with as this is a great way to learn what aptitudes you have. to be successful, you have to think like a successful person. YOU CAN DO IT and You can do it well.
good luck.

Answer 6

Pharmacy colleges does not look at your high school grades. You have a chance to start over. Some colleges are biased against community colleges.
Your most important prepharmacy classes are your science courses, especially chemistry. Pharmacy like to see GPAs of at least 3.4.

Answer 7

Keep your dream alive and be a pharmacist.

I made the mistake and let algebra keep me from being a Meteorologist. I still dream of that profession everyday. I was and still am so passionate about the atmosphere and weather, but I let my struggle with algebra get the best of me.

Please don't make the mistake I made. Just go for your dream and don't let your grades dictate that. Work hard for what you want!

Answer 8

you have to take 2 years of general study in college, so don't sweat it, you've got time.

I think you could be a pharmicist, just make sure you do well in college when you get there.
