Here are my list of schools, any advices?

[kies89]

First of all, my stats are not that great.
i went to UC, and have around 3.18 GPA both Science and Overall.
I am planning to take PCAT, but let's assume that i have average score..
I am pharmacy technician for about 4 months now (full time)
and i have various internship experiences during my undergrad (but i dont know if this helps me. i did dental internship, radiology internship, also, volunteered 300+ hours at church teaching kids)
I am currently also volunteering at homeless shelter pharmacy around 300 hours now. (They give foods to homeless people and they also have little pharmacy that helps them with no insurance or no money)

This is it. i did some undergraduate research working in the lab about plants, but only for 3 months.
Thinking about getting 3-4 LOR (1 pharmacist, 1 professor, 1 volunteer, maybe 1 from my research coordinator who is just a graduate student studying plants)

I am planning to apply this upcoming cycle, and came up with lists of schools, a bit long
i would like to get some honest opinions from you guys.
Which schools should i add to raise my chances? or get rid of? (like shady schools?)

I am CA resident, please give me some honest opinions!

ugh.. no chance for:
usc, ucsd, ucsf
decent chance: northstate, touro
100% acceptance: kgi and west coast

the pcat schools: depends on your pcat. avg like 50? midwestern chicago

you can do a lot better than KGI, west coast, and northstate tho
I don't think northstate even has fafsa..

Why don't you take the PCAT first and determine where you fall? Average is really subjective depending on the schools you apply to.
