From the transcript
They were able to help me kind of fast-track that, so I was able to knock a whole year off of my schooling, which in the long term was a lot. So I did, I did my undergrad classes in 3 years at UAA, and then I went and applied to pharmacy school. Which is a little bit of a long process. I could talk about that if anyone's interested, but, um, applying and then interviewing, and then I started, um, that August after I finished my classes in about May. Um, and pharmacy school is 4 years long, so I did get my doctorate of pharmacy.
