Hi, my marks were pretty bad in first yr, but I kno i can do much better now that a lot of distractions and issues are cleared. I plan on retakin like the chem/bio courses of first yr to raise my marks.

For my redone courses.. do they average it? Or can I just use the higher of the two grades. Also, if i retake the PCAT, again do they average it, or take the higher?
Basically what im askin is if i apply now, and then again in lets say a years time, with courses re-done with much better marks, and a better PCAT, will they treat that as a whole new application, or will they look back at my old stuff? (first time i took chem/bio, first time i took PCAT)

thanks guys!

The grades - generally speaking they average them, but I remember of one school, I think USN, that only looks at your higher grades.

For PCAT, I don't know about all schools, but I know some of the schools I am applying to, only look at the higher scores. You should call the schools you are applying to and check individually with each school.

Good luck !

Really depends on the school. It seemed to me that most schools average your grades and take the highest PCAT, but that is not always true.

I was looking at the 2009 Pharmacy checklist (posted on SDN sumwhere, i cant rmember where i got it lol)

*highest grade used

Theres quite a lot, Is this for all the courses ? :S
