Hi all,

I'm planning on applying to all California pharm schools. My GPA is 3.1.. do I have a chance?

What are yours ECs? Do you have pharmaceutical experience? Have you been in a research lab? How strong are your LORs and Personal Statement? It is difficult to answer your question with just a GPA statistic.

From what I know, your GPA is in the very very competitive zone. You really need to strengthen other things that admission committee are considering besides your GPA. As pharmdx92 mentioned above, the more and the better in quality of those things you have, the more likely you will get an interview. Then at the interview, depending on the schools, they will either just look at your performance at the interview or consider everything including your GPA. No one can tell if you will get into a program with 3.1 GPA for certain.

GPA is not everything. EC, leadership, work experience...it all matters too. be more specific.

I would not consider his GPA to be "very, very competitive" and is relatively average if not lower than the average GPA of most California schools.

You still have a chance but you should definitely apply early in the cycle. Most schools accept students based on rolling admission.

Kill them all with fire. At least the first two.
