TIPS & ADVICE
AP ScoresSome pharmacy schools
accept AP creditUsually accept credit for
Calculus, English, Statistics
Acceptable scoresProcedure to send AP
scoresIB? Check with the
school
Repeating GradesWill mostly likely have to report both grades.UC Berkeley uses the most recent grade for your
transcript.Pharmacy Grad Schools may take average of both
or higher of the two.
F A = ?
Community College/Online CoursesCan be used to satisfy pharmacy
graduate school prerequisites.Recommended to take core science
class at Cal.Online courses can be used as well. Must check if courses match up and
if they are accepted from that specific community college. i.e. Check if econ needed is macro or
micro.
