You need to take some math courses in pre-pharmacy and learn pharmacy calculations in pharmacy school but I assure you that you will never use calculus or algebra in the real world pharmacy job. Only if you ever went into research would you need to use this math. I don't remember the last time a customer asked me a physics question or a chemical structure but in school I had to know. I have been a pharmacist for 35 years.

Yes, as long as you show you are dedicated, have a great college essay. The fact that you are so serious will really help you. Even if you don't get into your dream school you can always work hard a a different college and then go to a great medical school. Don't worry about one class, since now you cant do anything about it, but if the rest of your transcript is good then that will help as well. Good Luck

Math is important. In your prePharm prereqs, you'll need to take Calculus. In pharmacy, you will have to be able to apply algebra and statistics.

do you not have a good enough relationship to ask the pharmacists you WORK with?
That's where I'd start.......tomorrow morning.
Best of luck

You need math skills or you could end up killing someone. you also need communications skills, such as writing.
