First let me congragualate you on your industrious undertaking of studying science.We need people like you to protect our health, water and air qualities of our lives back in the motherland.There are broad courses of science you can take at your school.Consult your academic advisors in your school on what courses to take.As for the choice between pharmacy and medicine it depends on what you want.They are both rewarding careers.Don't do something because your parents or peers presured you to do so.Follow your intuition and Insha-Allah the gates will be open for you.

STOIC-May Allah s.w make it easier on you dear-and may you have enough courage and strength to get in and through Grad-school. Insha-allah and to all of us who are puisuing higher education-Amiin.

 

Indeed follow your path-not someone elses. And if you are not sure what you want to do after an undergraduate degree-Get Practical experience in the field interested then continue-you might be suprised that the job you even pursue now can pay for your later education.

 

Be resourceful.

internships, This is something all of that are interested in graduate school should be doing, they should be started as soon as sophomore year and should continue until u graduate....this helps u get familiar with ur chosen field and also gives u a chance to diversify ur academic resume, and u also get recommendation letters and maybe u get paid..... ...they r a chore but so worth it...

Good luck in ur futures

STOIC,

 

You left out academic references. Sometimes it all depends on what your former lecturers say about your academic abilities.
