Just in case you guys don't know, UCSF is the BEST Pharm school in the nation.

Congrats
I want to be a pharmacist too! So far all the Chem/Bio classes have been oddly fun, so I hope this is a good sign lol.
DC Sound, you should definitely do it, it's never too late, especially if it is your passion!
While you might go to school for like 4-5 more years, in the end, would you rather work 30 years as an Accountant? Or a Pharmacist?
You should choose whatever makes you happier, because either way it seems like you're set for the future haha.
Sorry, I know a lot of people are asking questions, but how was Pharm school?
I've heard some people say its really hard, but I also heard other people say how it is so easy that it's boring.
Do you also know anything that makes you stand out? At my school like more than half the kids I talked to are aspiring pharmacists haha
Also, what made you choose Pharmacy over Medical School? Because the pre-reqs are almost identical.
Once again...
1) i lived in SF. While it may not the be ideal place for me to settle down, it was a great place to explore and party. You litterally always had things to do in SF. And I really only studied 2 days before tests, so there were always a lot of down time in b/t midterms
2) The difficulty of the curriculum is all up to you. If you relatively keep up with things, u should be fine. When you get into grad shools, their purpose is to graduate you, not fail you. Failing students would only make the school look bad. The first 2 years at UCSF school-wise were relatively boring b/c it was primarily just review. Then you get into the gritty nitty stuff the last 2 years + rotations and that was when it got kinda stimulating
3) eh i didn't do much except joining an organization that helped the underserved in SF. and obviously VSA to meet the chicks
4) I actually took the MCAT and scored a 32. I definitely had med school in mind, but I really had to take care of my mom. She's turning 57 and there was no way I would let her work another 4-5 years while I was making chump change doing residency, and working 70+hr/week. If I didn't have family obligations, I would have most likely gone the medical school route. But I don't regret my decision.
gl with whatever u choose. as long as u guys maintain ur focus, u'll get that money eventually.
