In my final 4 semesters I averaged a 3.8 GPA, just messed up my first 2 years. Can you guys recommend me some schools that are not so expensive that will probably accept me?

All pharmacy schools are expensive... do your own research.

I was mainly asking which pharmacy schools are easier to get into with my GPA & PCAT. If you don't want to help you don't need to reply. Thanks.

According to other posts, your PCAT is competitive. Your GPA needs work, but since you've improved you can include that information in your personal statement. Just get good LOR's, and you should be a worthy candidate at most pharmacy schools.


But seriously, do your own research about pharmacy schools near you. Google might help

I got accepted into 6 out of 7 schools that I applied to including a top 5 school with a 3.05 and 90 PCAT and 6 months working as a tech.

You will be fine if you have pharmacy experience and interview well. Just apply to all of the cheapest schools/areas that you want to live. You will be fine. I didn't even think I'd get a single interview but getting in is a lot easier than I was lead to believe.

90 PCAT probably made a difference, it showed them you were smarter than your GPA. Did you get the 3.05 at a uni or at community college?

All at the same Uni

What schools did you apply to if you don't mind me asking?

Your chances are pretty good for most schools assuming everything else is in order.
