Didn't you already post this in the USN thread?

Anyways, that's a long list. I don't think anyone would be able to tell you anything until you take the PCAT.

(I apologize if I sound rude)

I'm thinking about applying to Pharm schools in Cali in which they don't required PCAT beside from USN. What do you think?
Sorry, I think I double posted this thread.

Without PCATs, you seem like a decent candidate for the CA schools. The lack of a bachelors may hurt you, seeing how CA schools are some of the most competitive. You should also try to get a bit more pharmacy experience under your belt.


Good luck.

I know Cali schools are very competitive. I'm going to give it a shoot though. Thank you for the honest comment. Have a great day!
