Hi,
I’m a rising senior, and I want to study CALS food science in Cornell and apply for pharmacy school after fulfilling the prerequisites in Cornell.
I know most students major in chemistry of biology for pre-pharm major, but is food science adequate as well?
I’m okay with taking additional classes other than the normal food science curriculum.

Another general question about pre pharm programs,
Could you explain the general paths ( 2+4, 3+4, and 4 year pharmacy programs. etc… ) to becoming a pharmacist and clarify the difference between them?
Thanks!
