College Confidential - View Single Post - UCB Pre-pharm.D? Spring transfer, pre-reqs, etc.

I will make this short. I've decided rather late in my college career that I'd like to pursue pharmacy. I have been admitted to Berkeley for the Spring 2011 semester. However, most of my pre-reqs currently completed, are mostly from humanities and social science courses. I'm actually receiving my A.A in liberal arts/social and behavioral science. To that end, I barely have any science pre-reqs completed as my previous intended major was going to be History or Anthropology. I was wondering if Berkeley usually allows transfer students to complete pre-reqs this late? Trying to declare a major in IB may make completing those pre-reqs and graduating on time a bit easier, but I still wouldn't graduate on time from Berkeley as the pre-reqs required for pharmacy programs require a lot of time and I've only completed maybe 2 of the science requirements thus far. Is it possible for someone in my kind of situation to be able to finish my pre-reqs and major at Berkeley and apply by 2012?
