Advice...?

I figured I would try to get some input from you guys to see if I have a chance for pharmacy school this time around... I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

My science GPA is only a 3.05, which I recognize is very low. However, I have made upward trends, and even earned an A for Organic last semester.

I just finished the second round of the PCAT earlier today and scored a 91 composite. (I got a 70 the first time.)
My subscores:
Composite-91
Bio-99
Chem-81
Quant-85
Verbal-68
RC-54 🙁

I have never worked in a pharmacy or healthcare environment, which I know is going to hurt.I do have very good letters of reference which include one from a pharmacist and a doctor. I feel that my essays are fairly strong and, if nothing else, will provide and interesting read.

Schools I have applied to: LECOM: Bradenton, UF, and FAMU.
I'm at a 2-year college in an area that does not offer classes such as Microbio or Biochem, so my options are pretty limited.

So, here is the million-dollar question: Do I have a chance??

I received an interview invite to LECOM with similar numbers.

91? I would say that is a really good score for the PCAT. When I applied to my current school, they didn't post the PCAT score they were looking for, but they are looking at 40. I know some of the bigger and more competitive schools require 75 or higher, but I would think your PCAT can stand on it's own. Do you know of any students who are in these programs to compare your scores with them?
