I'm a senior in high school and want to get into pharmacy school or a college/University that has a pharmacy program. However, at Wagner College they have pre-pharmacy as a program. What should I pick as my major, biology? Also, during high school I've taken biology, chemistry, physics, and math all 4 years....is this an advantage to get into pharmacy school or does it mean nothing?
*I want to enter pharmacy school right after high school, what schools offer this to high school students? (New York school preferred)

Your question is confusing but I'll try my best to help.
Pharmacy school is EXTREMELY competitive, it ranks up at the same level if not higher than Medical school. You can't go from high school straight to pharmacy school, and since you are going to college for an undergrad degree before pharmacy school your high school grades are fairly unimportant, but your college grades ARE.
I'd suggest majoring in medicinal chemistry or biology or chemistry or organic chemistry or something similar. If you double major in any of those majors, that would also be advantageous. SUNY Albany, SUNY Buffalo and others are all good starter outs for medical career transfers. Albany also has a Pharmacy school, but the name of it I can't remember.
Grades are just as important as class rank, school involvement, extracurriculars, intracurriculars etc. So stay active and focused!
Good Luck!

There are some New York schools which accept students out of high school. The schools are Albany COP and St. John's U.

Taking all your major sciences and math in high school is required for high school entrance pharmacy colleges.
Biology is not a good major. Pick something like chemistry or biochem.

I assume you are talking about the thing with the probes to go up your nose and transmit red light? I'm not actually sure at the moment as i have just bought one today, but i have been reading reviews for a while to decide whether to buy it and they seem to be 90% extremely positive, hence the reason i bought it! I will let you know in a couple of weeks if it is a miracle cure :P
