I'm a low stat applicant (3.0-3.4), haven't taken the PCAT, some strong ECs, working on getting a tech job or other shadowing. Most reqs done except for Econ, Organic, Physics, Anatomy (will be taking those in Fall/Spring). Here are the schools I am interested in besides my current school (Creighton), anyone applied or currently attend these pharmacy schools? What's your opinion on them? Which do I have a chance in?

KU- they said HS physics is OK, but need a B or higher, which I know I got for 1st semester, but unsure about 2nd semester, how do they check?
Iowa
Wingate
UMKC
University of Colorado

Thanks everyone!

your best bet of the schools listed is going to be Wingate since it's a private school. public schools prefer in-state students.

I did my undergrad at Iowa and will be starting in the College of Pharmacy in the fall. I know many people who got in with a lower GPA (~3.0) so it's definitely possible. I would say do awesome on the PCAT and then you've got a good chance! Try to do really well in the rest of your pre-req classes just to boost your GPA. Also, getting the pharm tech job will help a lot. They want to see that you've actually been in a pharmacy. For physics, Iowa only requires a year of high school physics and I don't even think they have a grade requirement on it... so you'd be done with that.
