About going into med school for grad studies

<p>@WayOutWestMom
I apologize for the super late reply.Thank you so much for answering all of my questions with a lot of details that I really really appreciate! :x
So I am assuming it wouldn’t be major issue as to where I go for undergrad college as long as they have all the science/math field classes that would be required by the specific medical school.</p>

<p>-Do med/pharmacy schools care so much about prestige of the undergrad schools students are from? </p>

<p>And also, I don’t know if this is specific to “med school topic”, but I was looking at pharmacy and also “pharmacology” and I found out that what I really want to do is something like in pharmacology with a little more research/lab opportunities than pharmacy (I hope I’m right with that…).</p>

<p>-Would something like pharmacology or toxicology or epidemiology also be pursued in med schools?
I found that there are a lot less schools that offers pharmacology/toxicology/epidemiology compared to pharmacy, and I was wondering if these majors were new or really intense courses, or whether not many students decide to major in them for what ever reasons.</p>

<p>-If the school that I happen to go for undergrad has pharmacy (or epidemiology or toxicology or pharmacology), then I could just continue on at that school?</p>

<p>-In addition to the above question, would you mind giving me an answer to this long question?
Can pharmacy only be pursued in grad schools? And have pre-pharmacy intention in undergrad?
If someone didn’t have pre-pharmacy intention in undergrad and decide that they want to go in to pharmacy, are they just going to take all the required cores for med school from there?</p>

<p>@WayOutWestMom I know this is TONS of questions AGAIN, so I will be happy if you could just answer any of them. :smiley: </p>

<p>And of course, I appreciate answers/advice from ANYONE!! :wink:
Any advice for science majors, science careers, med schools, and pros and cons of those would be awesome too!
Thank you in advance!</p>
