Hey Everyone!

I'm a UofT life science student and I just got my a** handed to me in my first year. I have a CGPA of about 2.8 and really really really want to become a pharmacist. I haven't done my PCAT or completed all of the course requirements yet but I am so worried that my marks may not go up. I worked very hard this year but it didn't do me much.

I wanted to know if there is hope for me. I have volunteered and worked with pharmacists before and know this occupations is just right for me (Y) but because the leslie school of pharmacy and uw pharmacy care so much about grades I wanted to know if my marks were to go up to at least a 3.0 will I stand a chance?

The average entrance grade of pharm schools in that province are typically 3.5 and higher. Now that being said, it doesn't mean you do not have a chance. What I'd do is really try to get volunteering positions and the like to really make your application stand out and get great LORs. Also make sure your pre-reqs are up to snuff, if they're poor, retake them. It'll show commitment. Don't give up. It's way too easy to do that.
