Calculus for Pharmacy School Applications?

One of my top pharmacy schools that I'm applying to says that it's mandatory to complete all pre-requisites by the time you complete your undergrad with a C or better. I received a C- in Calculus I, one of the pre-reqs, but I'm not sure how strictly schools follow that rule. I don't have time to retake the course, either.

On the other hand, my GPA is still competitive (above 3.6), I scored in the 94th percentile on the PCAT, and I have tons of internship/pharm tech experience. There were a lot of personal issues I had during that semester, which I could explain in my personal statement/application, but how likely is it that they would over look one bad grade?

Is it still worth applying to this school?

Sorry to say but no you have to receive better than a C-. I know many people who had to retake organic chemistry because they got a C-.

I would contact the school directly to be 100% sure. Schools are usually strict with their minimum requirements.

For my school program requirements they won't take less then a C. The school might say that a C- is still passing and only a F is failing but in a program another lower then a C is failing. Retake the course it might be a question during an interview about dealing with a tough class and what you did to improve yourself
