Will they really ignore all of my other marks completely and only look at the 3.29 GPA?

I took the PCAT yesterday and the preliminary score sheet put me at 91 composite PR. I bombed the last section (quantitative) because I let myself get hung up on a couple hard questions at the beginning, so I ran out of time and guessed a ton of them.

Verbal Ability - 92
Biology - 90
Reading Comprehension - 88
Quantitative Ability - 39
Chemistry - 95
Composite 91

I was amazed, because on my practice tests I always breezed through Quantitative and did terribly on Chemistry. How is the essay question factored in to the composite? Writing has always been easy for me, so hopefully the essay will bump that up as well.

So I am likely to get an interview?
Yes, you'll get called for an interview unless you leave the personal essay section blank. lol
