<p>I completed the full 4 years of undergraduate schooling and did research in psychology and biology, studied abroad in the swiss alps of France, and took summer school classes on the side. I just finished up my first year of pharmacy school, but I’m happy I’m not an undergrad anymore. I applied to 10 pharmacy schools back then, which was far, far, too many. Trying to take classes to apply to all of them was a nightmare - it’s impossible because there is no standardized curriculum. For example, look at USC’s requirements:
