I'm thinking about applying to University of the Pacific and major in pharmacy, but if I wanted to, could I carry over the studies I had there and crossover to med school? Thanks.

If you like studying. Are you in high school? If you did that you'd be 31 years old at minimum when you finish both programs and you might be wondering why you spent so much time in school. I'd just do whatever you like better. If I were you I'd graduate with a pharmacy degree and be 24 years old making decent money. Medical school and training will be 7 more years. Chances are you'll be exhausted after pharmacy school. You'd spend so much money also doing two programs.
Medical school interviewers are going to wonder why you did pharmacy. I'm pretty sure you'll have to do over every class a medical school requires but maybe you can use the prerequisites. Think carefully and concentrate on what you really want to do. You don't want to waste your time.

In theory, yes, but in reality, it's frown upon. It's actually against the law to have both an active pharmacist license and MD license. The programs cover different material.

specific they have an same prereqs as long as you get a stats and 2 calc instructions (examine which incorporate your representative, it might prefer to have replaced). that's particularly useful to could prefer to take the PCAT, nonetheless I fairly have heard some faculties will settle for a sturdy MCAT score. PCAT is diff than the MCAT, so as that that's particularly useful to could prefer to learn some for it.
