What grades do I need to become a pharmacist or a pharmacologist?
Your university is going to care a lot about grades during your junior year – frequently they have to make admissions decisions before your senior year grades are available so 11th grade is the best they have. To become a practicing pharmacist in the US you need a PharmD. Many people go to university and get a degree in biology/chemistry, etc. and then enter a PharmD program for grad school. There are also colleges that offer a 4 year Bachelor of Pharmacy degree (though you still need the PharmD.) Some schools have 5 or 6 year accelerated programs that will allow you to move straight through to the PharmD. Your high school grades determine (partially) what university you go to. Your university grades will determine your grad school. So it’s definitely in your best interest to do as well as possible.
