I'm a freshman at a university and I am doing my pre-reqs for pharmacy school. It's midterms right now and my GPA is a 3.6 i know its not that good but it will be better by finals. But i have been hearing discouraging news about the timetable to apply and complete pharmacy school. Before my interest in becoming a pharamcist I wanted to be a doctor but it takes a lot of time and it seems to stressful and i don't know if i can be in a postition to determine if someone is terminally ill or theyre dying so i thought pharmacist still helps people but without being solely relied upon. But now i'm hearing that pharmacy school is 6 years? and if i want my B.Science thats 4 years plus 6 years thats 10 years.. which makes me reconsider being a doctor because it gets me thinking not everyone is BORN to be a doctor... everyone is apprehensive about diagonsing someone with sicknesses. and becoming a family doctor is 12 years right including undergrad right? Correct me if i have misunderstood somth

Pre-Pharm like Pre-Med isn't a considerable yet extra of an advising song or record of recommended training to take. I went to a college, for prePharm, which had a pharmacy software, yet there are lots of pharm scholars who went to colleges which don't have a software. in case you're on the two 3 hundred and sixty 5 days prePharm song, you will probable no longer ought to call a considerable. the main effortless majors are biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. California is the toughest state, in terms of admissions. you will need nearer to a three.5 GPA, and that's additionally real at a great form of pharmacy colleges. that is complicated to get right into a college, era. my very own college has an acceptance value of a million in 9. the final effortless GPA for powerful applicants is approximately 3.4-3.5.

To become a pharmacist, it is 2-4 years of undergraduate work and 4 years of pharmacy school, so 6-8 years on average. Residencies are optional.
For doctors, it is 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of med, and a variable number of years for residency.

it usually takes about the 2 years in ur undergrad to get ur pre reqs done and once they are done u can apply to pharmacy school. pharmacy school is 4 years. so u can become a pharmacist after 6 years of schooling. it could take u longer, depending on how long it takes to finish your pre-reqs.
I am a senior in HS now and im planning on going for pharmacy school. im going to major in pharmacutical sciences and hopefully go to University at Buffalo's pharamacy school. Also i looked at the average GPA of students admitted to the pharmacy school and it was a 3.5 so think you are doing good with the 3.6.
