<p>giraffodil, thank you for all of your great advice! i had to leave pretty quickly this morning since i’m about a 6 hr drive away, but thank you so much for offering to meet up.
the pharmacy presentation i saw this morning was extremely helpful. my first visit focused only on the school in general so getting lots of specific information from a very knowledgeable presenter and 2 P1 students was great. they actually recommended not taking honors even if you did get in the program. they said the course load is hard enough as it is and keeping your gpa up is key. it would be so scary to fail only one course and have to get set back a whole year… i’m guessing that to most employers, a pharmD is a pharmD. however i am considering taking something like honors english or an elective like you said for my own personal enrichment. i think one each year for my undergrad would be manageable. do people usually use their AP credits? i think i would rather use them in subjects like english, eco, stat rather than bio and chem even if i have 5s just so i can get more experience.
they also mentioned rxprep, which sounds great. they only briefly touched on greek organizations though. do you know anything about them, like which ones are known for being more studious or service oriented?
i’m so happy to hear the professors are great and there are plenty of research opportunities! they mentioned being a pharm tech as being good volunteer experience. do you have to get training/certification for it and can you do it while an undergrad?</p>
<p>sorry i am bombarding you with so many questions haha</p>
