1st year applying to pharmacy school
So... I'm a freshman in UGA with enough credits to move on to UGA pharmacy. About 56+ credit hours (almost a junior)
I got a job as a pharmacy tech (certified this summer) in rite-aid this month and expecting to work until I graduate from pharmacy school.
I did a lot of volunteering in soup kitchens and local hospitals (more than 300 hours) in high school and hope to continue volunteering at a local hospital.
I'm intensively studying for PCAT since summer started and hope I can pull of 80th percentile+ but I haven't taken any o chem class, so I think I won't be scoring that high on the chem section.
So, I'm wondering what are my chances of getting accepted this year. I'm really passionate about this career, and even if I don't get accepted this year, ill continue to try.
I feel like the admission officers would prefer upperclassmen than a freshman because... Well, they need to move on and also are more mature.
Am I dreaming too big? I don't want to spend another year as an undergrad because ill be "wasting" my hours.
