university pharmacy acceptance and choices?

Question

Does anyone know the GPA or a rough idea of the GPA required to transfer into these universities for a bachelor's of pharmacy? What is the difference between the programs in the US and Canada, if I get a bachelor's of pharmacy in the US will I be able to work in Canada? Is it easier to be accepted in the US or Canada? I am graduating from grade 12 in less then a month, i've already accepted an offer by a university for a bachelor's of arts in geography but I realize there are almost no jobs in that area so i've decided to transfer universities and programs after my first year of university. I heard it is really hard to get in so im wondering what the best options are and if I should even apply for transfer. What would be the high school average be compared to the GPA needed for a transfer into pharmacy?
Canada
University of British Columbia
University of Alberta

USA
Washington State University
The University of Washington

Answer 1

In the U.S., the BS pharmacy degree no longer exists. You need a PharmD, and that is accepted in Canada. You need two years of prepharm. They like to see a GPA in the mid 3s, at least. Your high school grades are not looked at. University of Washington is actually one of the schools which require a bachelors.
