Hi! I’m currently in high school, graduating 2022. I was thinking to major in chemistry for undergrad for two years, then apply to PA school. But I’m not sure if I can major in chemistry and finish the undergrad in 2 years? Also where can I apply if I finished undergrad from the university of Calgary?
