Hello. I'm sure many people ask this question but I just wanted feedback from people that have experience with applying to/completing a residency. I am currently a PY3 at a small private pharmacy school. My GPA is my biggest setback for residency at a whopping 3.25. I didn't do so well my first...

I.e after first year, second year, or third, or after you complete the four years of Bsc. So, I was thinking...
