Organic Chemistry II (at my local community college)
AP Am. Govt and Economics (would economics matter to applying for pre-pharmacy?)
and that’s it. Do I have a descent shot? I also am in a club at my high school that raise donations and organizes walks for people who have cancer and lukemia. I am also in National Honors Society.
I am Arabic and I live in southern california (there is not really a lot of us) and I am wondering if that will matter when applying because I hear they like to maintain diversity.
I plan to go to one of these following schools:
California (Those near or in LA are highlighted):
USC school of Pharmacy
UCSD School of Pharmacy
UCSF school of Pharmacy
Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy-Loma Linda, CA
Western University of Health Sciences, Pharmacy: Pomona, CA
University of the Pacific: Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy: Stockton, CA
New York:
University at Buffao school of Pharmacy
NYU ( for pre-pharmacy)
Colombia University: school of pharmacy

UIC Pharmacy school
Saint Louis College of Pharmacy

    Yes, you have a good shot. Everything depends on how well you do in undergraduate studies, including pre-pharmacy courses. You’ll need to raise your game if you want to complete for the top tier Schools of Pharmacy.
    Perhaps you can consider Bioprocess Engineering for your undergraduate major.
    Be aware some Schools of Pharmacy will not recognize pre-pharmacy courses taken in community college.

    Yeah don’t sweat it. You’ll probably get a significant scholarship from any of those schools as well. You’re very qualified. Taking orgo was a really smart decision.
