I'm currently enrolled in school as a computer major, and if I continue my planned path ill have a bachelors degree in computers / business management. Recently i've been thinking that maybe it's not exactly what I want to do.. and maybe I want to go to school to be a pharmacist.

Is it possible to take a bachelors degree in computers and business management and go into medical school for 4 years to become a pharmacist? Or would I need more years of schooling..

My grades are more then adequate for med school requirements.
 
Yes and no. You can get in if you have the courses the school you're applying to requires. Medical schools and pharmacy schools will accept people outside of a biology/chemistry major and usually like to. They recommend majoring in what you enjoy and not something that will achieve a means to an end. That being said, you still have to score well on the PCAT. The MCAT and PCAT both contain quite a bit of biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy. If you have sufficient grades, score well on the PCAT, and have a good interview you've got it made. Good luck to you.
