I'm gonna be a P3 in August, just wanting to get a headstart if possible. What recommendations can you make to help allow me to start getting A's...I've gotten B's and C's so far..

and secondary question if anybody cares to answer, do you recommend going to the pcca events if I want to own my own compounding pharmacy one day?
 
Which program? At Ole Miss, P3 year was a move away from the classroom to exclusive problem-based learning in small groups and self-study with rotations in a 4-block period.
 
P3 year was just like P2 year in my school. Continue therapeutics, continue recitation, take some electives and secondary classes here and there. Try to find a study method that works for you, although at this point you should have done that. There were many B's and C's on my transcript, and very few A's. It never once hurt my career, although with each passing year a residency becomes more required so perhaps it will hurt yours.
