people here are being nice, imma be real with you since i dont want you to waste your time
2.6 is low, you're looking at people with 3.5 and above being rejected from pharmacy schools.
you have options however.
options 1 (the best). Get straight A's from here on out. Write a sob story for your essay on why you did poorly (woe is me my life is hard, grandma died, i have no parents, etc etc). Show the adcoms that the 2.6 was the anomaly (and not the 4.0 you are gonna get from here on out). Point out the trend of your grades, how it improved alot, how your focus on helping people gave you a rededication to do well in school. Your sob story essay should reflect this.
Get a ton of pharmacy experience (i had 0 pharm experience, and in my interviews, they pointed this out and asked alot of questions about it, they aren't going to overlook this very easily)
option b. what you are doing. it's gonna fail and you aren't going to realistically get into pharm school doing it. Most schools require over a 2.6 for them to even look at your application. Taking a boat load of classes and getting b's and c's is gonna look bad (as of now, you are a b/c student).
instead, take 16 units of science and cut out all the extraneous classes that you don't need. focus on your pre reqs and get A's.
I know your life situation is pretty tough, mine is also. No parental support and working 2 jobs to make things work. I believe you can do it, but you need some guidance and focus. talk to your counselor at school, formulate a workable plan based off of the schools you want to apply to.
take a day to figure out the route that gives you the best possible chance at getting into pharm school. focus on pharm experience, a class schedule you can handle, and getting your pre reqs done. Also don't forget the straight A's ( a couple b's won't hurt, but the majority of your grades should be A's). If you can't do this, i suggest looking for another career.
Nothing at this point should be easy for you when you sport a 2.6 gpa. Most pharmacy schools will not look at your application because you do not meet the minimum gpa requirement. At this point, you can not afford to get many b's, you have to get A's. Seriously.
What people are saying isn't for you to take it easy. They are telling you to put the effort it would require to take your ridiculous course load, and put forth the same effort into a normal course load. I suggest putting in even more effort to ace those classes. Your days should be consumed with studying.
Im not trying to be a dream crusher, but i'm being real. You aren't even a minimum candidate, you are at a point where you can't even apply to schools. Refocus and talk to your school counselor about your goals.
