Okay, so I'm applying to the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy and Southwestern Oklahoma State for Fall 2012. I took the PCAT this July and got my official scores today.
Verbal: SS: 423 PR: 82
Biology: SS: 421 PR: 80
Reading Comprehension: SS: 406 PR: 55
Quantitative Ability: SS: 413 PR: 64
Chemistry: SS: 463 PR: 98
Composite: SS: 425 PR: 86
Writing: Conventions of Language: 3.5 Mean 2.85
Writing: Problem Solving: 3.5 Mean 2.86

My GPA is 3.95 at a state school with a 3.91 science GPA and 4.0 non-science GPA. I'm in the Honors college and have multiple extracurriculars. I'm just worried about the low Reading Comp score and a lack of pharmacy shadowing/experience. Am I a qualified candidate? Thanks for any advice!
