Do you have a prove that pharmacy schools don't look at your undergraduate ?!
as now i have a 3.7 GPA.I can still at my undergraduate and get a higher GPA at my senior year. But a lot of people told me that pharmacy schools in CA doesn't required PCAT that's why they care about your undergraduate college more and where you come from!

i believe it's much better to have 3.7 at your college than having 3.0 in Harvard when you apply to pharmacy school. They only consider it between applicants have similar gpa only. No matter which undergrad you're going to, try to get as many A's as you can, be really involved in extracurricular activities, leadership, volunteer you can get accepted to whatever school you want. Good luck

All I'm going to say is that you better hope pharmacy schools are not aware of that because if they are, they are not going to look at your 3.7 GPA in the same way that you'd look at a 3.7 GPA, or even a 3.3~3.4 GPA at a UC.
