I know several friends who got into top medical schools and pharmacy as sociology, theater, and music majors. They really don't care as long as you perform well.

Based on what I read....tell me if this is correct....
I would need to go to Washington University for 2 years...and then try to get into an graduate school.....???
Will I miss out on the "undergraduate experience". I'm still not sure about being a pharmacist...is it bad to not get a bachelor's degree..and just get a master....
It also depends on what schools you're applying for. Most top schools won't let students in after two years (with a few exceptions). A lot of people end up applying after they have finished their bachelors to graduate programs. You won't be missing anything by going to pharmacy school early. WUSTL is an excellent institution and you should enjoy all that it has to offer. Who knows, don't pidgeon hole yourself into pharmacy either - explore everything and come back at the end of 4 years and decide if this is what you truly want to do. You deserve to give yourself that chance to decide.
