I'm sure you've already been told this, but apparently though medicine is the harder course to get into, Pharmacy is more challenging in the first year! Oh dear, I'm probably going to get loads of abuse for saying that but it seems like all my friends who are doing medicine have a lot less work than us pharmacists!
tell i was going to do pharmacy but decided i wanna do medicine, what kind of grades do you need for pharmacy, what put me off it was the fact that there is alot of maths in it ..i think and i hate maths
Ive seen a first year pharmacy students workload and it looks crazy.

ABB-BCC depending on university.
ok cheers..does it have loads of maths init ?
There's not loads of maths in Pharmacy - it's important, but not as important as chemistry.

I won't lie and say that studying pharmacy is easy, because it's not. I went into it thinking that it was (afterall, my dad did it so how hard can it be - although a lot's changed since 1974 it turns out...).

IME, the first year is definitely the worst - after that it kind of eases up, but in terms of grades and make-up of your final degree classification, the years get more important as you go.
AHHHHH! Scary pharmacy courses!

Really? That's interesting. My workload last year (2nd year) was unbelievable, I did feel better about my exams than I did the first year but this was because I actually started revising earlier than a couple of weeks before they started. This year my workload doesn't seem so bad, but I'd say the actual content is pretty tough, more about applying stuff etc
