I took pcat 2 times already and now I'm going to try for the third time

1st time (July)
VB: 18

Chem:61
Comp: 45

2nd time (Sept)
VB: 18
Bio: 89
RC: 6
QA:77
Chem:72
comp:50

I'm planning to apply to VCU, Shenandoah , MD-Estern shore
I have a GPA of 2.9
Strong Rec'd from 3 professors
EC- working as a RN at a well known hospital ~ 2 yrs and 6 months

I don't know if I should just apply now to all the schools with my PCAT score that I have
right now which is comp 45 and 50

or should I wait until November/December? (after I'm done with October/November PCAT???

no matter how low your stats are, the rule of thumb is always apply early.

btw, I saw one pharmacist who couldn't get a job..now he's going back to school for BSN. it seems very opposite from your case..

You really need to raise that PCAT.. ideally you would have like 85+ on math, chem and bio, to make up that GPA. Apply ASAP and put down you're taking PCAT in Nov.

Later would be better. Your GPA is not competitive enough, so retaking the PCAT is the best option.
