pre-pharmacy

So I am sitting at a 3.98 GPA (1 B in undergrad), 4.0 science GPA and a 90 PCAT. However, I have literally no volunteering, community service, or tech hours. Can I get in to some schools based on scores instead of extra-curriculars? Or should I lie and just make up **** for extra curriculars?

Are there any incoming freshmen this fall that's attending UNT? Would love to meet you guys!:)
