I'm planning to apply for the upcoming 2010 cycle. I graduated with a degree but found out that i dont have the anatomy and microeconomics requirements for the schools im applying to (but i took physiology and macroeconomics). Im planning to take anatomy and micro this fall though. Can i still have a chance of interview/acceptance while currently taking these classes during the cycle? they just need you to complete the pre reqs before u matriculate into pharmacy school, right?

Thanks.
 
yes, u have until spring of the year u enter pharmacy school to complete your prereqs. some schools allow u to complete in the summer and some don't.

ie, you start pharmacy school fall 2011. you have until spring 2011 or summer 2011 for some schools to finish your prereqs.

When I submitted my app, I was in Organic Chem 1 and Physics 1, and still hadn't even begun Organic Chem 2 or Physics 2. Updated my PharmCas after I finished the first two classes. I was interviewed and accepted. I am completing the latter two classes now. So yes, it is definitely possible to get interviewed and accepted despite having a few pre-reqs not completed.
 
PharmGrrlJax is right, I'm in Orgo I and 5 other pre-req's, and I'm taking Orgo II in second summer, and I got accepted to one school right away, and on alternate list of the other. You've go a very solid chance given your other grades/ PCAT are decent.
 
Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies.

I noticed u got accepted to UF. Specifically, this was the case with them? are you an UF student? Im applying to UF also but I'm just missing their anatomy requirement. I hope i can get the same results u got!
