Verbal 58
Readng 52
Biology 91
Quantitative 62
Chemistry 95
COMPOSITE 82
Conventions of language 3.0
Problem solving 2.5

I've got A's in my Organic & Inorganic Chemistry classes, and considerable volunteering in a hospital.

*I'm from out of province (Ontario), so I'm curious if this will count against me?
It probably wouldn't hurt to apply; however, that composite and GPA are below the usual average of what has been accepted in the past. If you have solid extracurriculars, personal essay skills, good references, and relevant pharmacy experience then it might be enough to get an interview. But that's just my two cents.
