Hello Everyone there smile.gif
I'm doing my SPM this year and would like to know about the pathways to do my pharmacy in US.I know i have to take pre-U after SPM in order to take up the course in uni,but perhaps i could go to US straight after SPM?Wondering did anybody here go to US to do pharmacy after SPM?Or something like Pre-Pharmacy there?
I'm really confused as there is not much information regarding studying pharmacy in US.

Sorry for my poor English >< Hoping that you guys could help me...
Thank you in advance! smile.gif

well in a nut shell to enter a pharmacy school in USA is via a graduate pathway. you have to first complete all the pre-requisite subjects (about 2 years, can be done through ADP if you are not aiming for Ivy league unis) required for pharmacy school, before getting accepted into a pharmacy degree (another 4-5 years).

Hmm... May I ask which uni here has better ADP for pharmacy? I've searched ADP in Sunway University,it is said that Credit transfer options are available to US universities, such as Oregon State University, Purdue University, University of Michigan, and also Canadian universities, such as University of Alberta.Since places are limited, it is rather difficult to get into these top universities. Preference is given to in-state students. Well as for Taylor,I couldn't find pharmacy for ADP ><

Sorry for my stupid questions >< I really need help :'(

There is no specific ADP for pharmacy. you just have to complete the necessary subjects, eg biology, chemistry, calculus etc. and then with your results only you apply with the respective universities (not sure are there any other requirements or not). yeah top USA universities are really hard to enter, especially pharmacy schools. not sure why do you want to go USA in the first place as there are slightly easier options available but all the best to you.

Thank you ^^ Is it a better choice for me to just go to foundation or Alevel or SAM in KL and go to Aussie or UK after that? And if I choose foundation,is MUFY a good choice? I heard many of them said that Alevel is quite tough. If you dont mind,could you please tell me which one is the easier and more suitable option? ><
Thankyou smile.gif

if you really want to prepare yourself for the pharmacy course then it's best if you do A-levels/SAM. Are you parents able to finance you to UK/Aussie in the first place? MUFY is an easy option to get into Monash but you will have to work hard during your degree to catch up.
