No, not one of those new pop-up schools. And no, I'm not aiming for top schools like USCF or something because I doubt I can go there. I'm looking for schools that don't take the PCAT, primarily Oregon State University and University of Washington since I live in the NW coast. And I am well aware of the loans, the loans is no problem to me at this point.
PharmCAS GPA: 2.83
Notable GPAs
- Math: 3.59
- Microbiology: 3.10
- Physics: 3.17
- Social/Behavioral Science: 4.00
~ the rest are between 2.3-3.0
I earned a scholarship that covered 2 years of my undergrad right out of high school for having a 3.5 GPA or higher. So I noted that.
Waitress: 10400+ hours and continuing (lots of customer experience)
Outpatient Pharmacy Volunteer: 35+ hours and continuing
Medical Scribe: 1400 hours
Specialty Compounding Pharmacy Tech: 408+ hours and continuing
Retail Pharmacy: 75+ hours and continuing
Volunteer at a clinic for patients with Multiple Sclerosis: 6 hours
Human Anatomy and Physiology Tutor for International/First-gen Students: 78 hours
Microbiology TA: 77 hours
2 letters: one from the doctor I scribed (very good), the other from the compounding pharmacist (decent)
I also have a bachelor's degree in biohealth sciences (basically just science). Took me almost 6 years to get my bachelor's while working in my family chinese restaurant nearly full time so I had to do school part time. But I believe the scholarship is proof of my academic skillset seeing that I wasn't working at the time in high school (I know I know college is different). Yes, I did retake classes and it hurt my pharmCAS GPA. Should I just study for the PCAT? A lot of the schools I want to go to don't take PCAT... Any suggestions for good schools besides the two I listed above?
I don't want to go to Pacific University because I don't align with their teaching formula (block system) and from what I read with another recent post on here. I was thinking of trying Washington State...but I'm afraid that they aren't as "prestigious" enough as the other two above to help me land a good job or have good connections out of college. I also show an upward trendline wtih GPA.
