Greetings!
I was hoping to get some opinions on whether or not it’s realistic for me to even apply to pharmacy school…
Where my doubts begin is my overall GPA (which is a 2.9 on my transcript) is only a 2.3 according to Pharmcas, which is ultimately what really matters. The reason for this - I made second attempts on a lot of classes I failed back in 2011/2012 when I just started college.
My science GPA is a 2.8 and my PCAT score is 80th percentile
I have juggled two part-time pharmacy tech jobs for 2 years now (both commercial and hospital)
I have been part of a pre-pharmacy club for 2 years as well
Accumulated roughly 150 volunteer hours
I am getting my BS in biomedical science next year
I have faced some serious barricades while growing up - all of which I will address in my personal statement. However, my fear is that no admissions counselor will even bother looking at an application like this, let alone invite me in for an interview.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
