Hello

I’m a P4 pharmacy student at a 6 year program leaning toward med school but my cGPA is 3.1 and my sGPA probably even lower thanks to my undergrad years. GPA trend is a roller coaster.

Would sGPA only count during the first 2 years of undergrad since in junior year we start pharmacy school? I saw that pharmacy classes aren’t considered “science” classes. If that’s the case, then I do not have any upper level science classes and only the prerequisites. A DIY post bacc may be possible to raise sGPA. Would it make more sense to do a DIY post bacc, SMP, or do extremely well on the MCAT and apply?
