Question
I am a high school junior and i am interested in becoming a pharmacist. I was wondering what schooling is necessary and what are some good schools?

Answer
Hi,Sarah!
You need to graduate from an accredited pharmacy school with a PharmD degree. This is a six year program,but it is possible to graduate early (maybe 6 months early) if you go through the summers.
I wouldn't know what are some good schools now; I graduated soooooo long ago LOL. Your guidance counselor may help point you in the right direction or just google "pharmacy schools". Hope this helps, Mary
