My D is in pre-pharmacy at Pitt. She got AP credit for AP Calc, AP lit, AP Econ, AP US history. So she was able to lower her credit load each semester and take some elective classes for fun.
I would take AP Bio or Honors Physics, depending on if he had any physics yet.
Check into UKY. I think their merit scholarships are only good for pre-pharmacy. And they limit the amount of OOS students they accept to pharmacy school I believe. They also require a lot of prerequisites, over 70, compared to like 62 at Pitt.
Ohio State requires a bachelor’s degree before pharmacy school.
Where are you instate? Look for schools that offer scholarships or plan to go to pharmacy school instate because tuition is usually lower instate versus OOS.
If your son qualifies for Pitt’s conditional admission to pharmacy school, then he should apply early in August.
They have about 50 spots, once they are given out, they are gone.

Look at Duquesne also. Online application was free before Dec 15, and they gave maximum scholarships of $20k this year and a $4,000 room and board scholarship. Their scholarships are good for all 6 years.

Ohio Northern might also be a good choice.
