Hello friends!
I was just wondering if I am able to get into pharmacy school. I have not taken the PCATS yet but will take it next month. My overall GPA is 3.4 (unweighted) and I am currently working as a pharmacy technician at RITE AID. My science GPA is 3.0 as of now. Do I have a chance to get into pharmacy school with my current GPA? Also, I have a question about Pharmcas. I need to take 2 prereq courses and will be submitting my Pharmcas application before I take the 2 courses during the spring semester of 2013. When I complete the courses, can I resubmit my Pharmcas application? I am a bit confuse of how Pharmcas work. Do I need to mail my full transcript that includes the 2 new courses that I have completed over the spring semester to each school?
Thanks guys!

Mail the transcript with spring grades directly to the school that you are accepted to.

Do well on the PCAT and you should be able to get a couple of interviews.

I honestly think that you will do fine. If you aren't to selective about where you go... there will always be a school ready to take you.
