So right now, I am a high school senior (senioritis has pretty much donkey punched my grades), and I'm planning on attending a local community college (De Anza College, CA) for two years and then transfer to USC as an undergraduate...hopefully getting into their PharmD program afterwards.
Im also interested in their TAP program (Trojan Admission Pre-Pharm), which apparently will aid me in my quest.
So my questions are:
1) Since TAP is a 4 year course, can I do two year Comm.College and then enter TAP in the middle?
2) On their website http://pharmacyschool.usc.edu/programs/pre/tap/ they listed a bunch of courses that they "suggest" we take. Will first-second year courses like General Chem and Molecular Bio still count if I take them at Comm. College? And if I raped the AP Bio test (5 whootz) in high school, can I use that to count as me taking the class?
3) Aside from those listed on the TAP website, during my two years at Comm College, I still have to take some other classes required by USC undergraduate admissions for transfers right? Is there a specific list of which courses they are? I searched for them, and it got REALLY confusing.
4) The minimum of 30 credits needed for USC to not look at my highschool grades when I transfer (so bad), can they also come from the courses needed for TAP?
5) Let's say that by some chance of a miracle I get into both USC and TAP. I will be a Junior, so I will have to declare a major. If I want to be a pharmacist and attend USC's PharmD programs, what major should I declare?
6) SORRY LAST ONE PROMISE:
If I was a National Merit Finalist (eligible for USC's 50% scholarship), but I go to Comm College instead of going to USC directly from high school, is that scholarship still effective for the two years of undergraduate I take at USC?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
You need not answer all of them, any and all pieces of advice will be hugely appreciated.
You guys are making my life so much better
THank you!!
