So what is considered a "good" score? At what point is it a "damn good" score?

I took it in October because I test well and my GPA is pretty bottom of the pack for people applying to pharmacy school (2.9). I studied a little (the school I applied to this year doesn't require it but I will apply elsewhere if I don't get it) but didn't take it too seriously. My composite was 96% - I've been told this is "phenomenal" and I don't intend to retake, but is that a decent score?

thats a great score. i think anything 78 and up is good and 90 and up is damn good, i scored a 92 and also have no interest in retaking it. i hope you are able to justify or explain your gpa however. but, you have definitely shown enough aptitude with the composite score. good luck!

thanks.

yup I've got a long detailed explanation with a happy ending blah blah. I'm actually not too worried, but UNM is taking their sweet time processing everything. If I get an interview I feel very confident.

Considering that 99% is the highest I would say that you are pretty safe staying with your 96%, even with your low gpa. Do NOT take it over again. Spend your time volunteering or getting some pharmacy experience instead of studying for the test.

You really should take it over. Schools tend to prefer 97% or higher. You are borderline.

Hey I have around the same gpa a 3.0, but i took some classes over and have a 3.4 with some schools, because they take the new grade. I got a 99 on the pcat. I went on three interviews, and I havent heard anything...yet. I work in a pharmacy for more than a 1 year and half, and i have done a lot of extracirricular activies. I really dont know what a good score is, cause it seems like they so look at GPA, which sucks for all of us that have the average gpa's. Has anyone been accepted with a 3.0 or slightly below gpa and high pcat score?
