Career Path

My career path will consist of some sort of graduate school. I have not decided whether or not to go to pharmacy or medical school. Both will have extremely good benefits for me in the long run. I plan on working active duty for the military when i finish whichever school I decide. Undergraduate school is coming to an end for me in December, most likely! Therefore my decision of whether or not to take the MCAT or the PCAT will have to come very soon. I will need to work hard in my last two semesters of college to achieve very good grades to keep my GPA competitive. My plan is for the military to pay for my graduate school, and in return i will give them many years of active duty service. It is not easy to be accepted by the military to fund two or four years of graduate school, but being prior enlisted and having a great resume will help a lot. The pharmacy school application requirements are much easier then Medical School, a lower GPA and much easier classes are pre-requisites. My Biology and Chemistry GPA will help tremendously in the applying process.

The link above shows an average GPA and classes that are pre-requisites for Pharmacy School. This gives me the needed confidence that I will be accepted in this school.

This is an example of how the military can help so much with tuition for Pharmacy school. A good thing for me to do would be to email either of these two people after I receive notice that I have been accepted to pharmacy school.
