I have only completed the pre-reqs for pharm school, no degree yet. If I apply to pharm schools without a degree,will that affect me negatively? Or should I just complete my degree and then apply? I currently have a 3.6 gpa and 88th PCAT,nothing to fascinating,but not bad either.

Apply now! I have almost the exact same credentials as you and I was just accepted to a program for Fall 2006. Continue to work towards the degree during the application process though, just in case you don't make it the first time you apply. The most important thing to do is choose the school that best matches your needs and be confident that THEY NEED YOU. Having doubts about your own qualifications will carry through in the interview, which I am sure you will qualify for. Best of Luck!

I'm not trying to be harsh here, but you've asked this question numerous times and received the same answers - that a) it depends on the school, but more and more schools are accepting a large majority of people with undergrad degrees b) That it might be helpful to work on an undergrad degree just in case you change your career goals/don't get accepted right away.
Also, are you in high school or in college? In previous posts you've said that you're a high school senior with a 3.9 GPA, but now you say you have a 3.6 with an 88 PCAT? No one here is going to care one way or another what your PCAT/GPA is, but in order to help you we need to know your actual situation.
Sorry if this is grinchy. I'm getting super nervous myself about getting admitted. 😳
Wow, how many times do you have to ask this? Not to mention the fact that you apparently can't decide if your still in HS or in college based on your post history.
Yes you can get into pharmacy school without a degree. There are plenty of people with and without undergrad degrees in pharmacy school.
