What do pharmacists major in?

Question

I'm going to college the 25th of this month and i really want to be a pharmacist. my high school gpa was a 1.9 do you think it's possible that i could make it through the pharmacy classes, and what do i need to major in. (if this matters my state is wv)

Answer 1

Pharmacy school is very tough to get into, and you will need a 3.5 or higher for your college gpa (avg. being 3.7) to get into grad school. I am majoring in pre-pharmacy (pharmaceutical chemistry) which has all the classes required for grad school. You should meet with your college advisor and ask any questions you have, they are very helpful! Even with a 4.2 gpa in high school, the classes are pretty tough, and require a lot of studying and devotion. But I'd say you could do it, if you put your mind to it. Good luck!
