Thank you for all the well-wishes, everyone. Trying to finish out my community college stuff now and then doing paperwork and other stuff to get ready for UCF. I already got my ucf email address.
The toughest part is, I need to have my mom find my immunization paperwork from like 7th grade. She says she has it somewhere.

Funny story: At UCF, the Molecular-and-Micro-Biology degree is called "M&M" for short. I just bought myself a jumbo bag of M&M's to celebrate.

Congrats, and if you have any questions about pharmacy school or pre-req stuff or any of that let me know, I'd be happy to help

Thanks to those offering advice.
So far, I know I need to take:
Biology I and II
Chemistry I and II
Organic Chemistry I and II
Physics I and II
Anatomy and Physiology I and II
Calculus
Speech
Psychology
I can finish all that in 2-2.5 years.
I can stick around for another 2 or 3 semesters and actually finish the M&M BS Degree.
My chem prof said I should finish the M&M for two reasons.
1. They will take me more seriously as someone with a science degree vs. a former music person who took a bunch of pre-req's.
2. In Doctoral programs, it's ALL about graduation rates. It looks bad on me if I walk out of school with less than a year left, even if it is to "upgrade" to medical school.

That's my exact course requirements too! Minus the Psych...

Actually, turns out I don't need psych. I'll probably take it anyway, though.

DrDubzz 01:38 PM 02-24-2010
take psych, it'll be beneficial, even if only to a small degree
and MJ, I didn't know you were aspiring to pharmacy school, let me know if you have any questions.
