Hi Blue88,

It is really hard to determine what your chances are with getting into Creighton or many other pharmacy schools in my opinion. If you have followed many of the posts on the boards you will see that people with stats like yours have gotten into schools that people with 3.8 GPA and 85+ PCAT scores didn't get in to. I think that grades are important but interviews, extracurriculars, etc. are also important. I do think that your years of pharmacy experience will definitely look good to the admissions committee!

I just met my classmates last week in Omaha, that will be starting Creighton's web-based program this fall and they are a very diverse group of people. Some have really high GPAs, high PCAT scores and some even have doctoral degrees in other disciplines already! But others have stats about like yours but there were other things that stood out about them such as their maturity, track record of improvement over time, past experiences whether pharmacy related or not, etc. I believe that Creighton looks at much more than just someone's ability to score well on tests.

Regarding your coursework, if you have questions regarding what will count towards their pre-reqs, etc then I would definitely suggest calling and talking with someone from admissions. They are VERY nice! At least with this past year's application process all of your science-related pre-reqs had to be completed by June (I think) but other pre-reqs could be finished up in summer school (I took economics this summer to finish up my pre-reqs).

Hopefully that answers most of your questions. So far I am very pleased with my decision to attend Creighton....I think that it is a great program.

Good Luck!
