Hey guys. I was hoping to get some help on something I was concerned about. When I was in high school my Junior and Senior year, I took a lot of core classes (english, history, economics, etc) at my local community college. But has a high school student, I was a bit immature about these community colleges, and I just wanted to "get by" with Cs. I ended up with like a 2.28 CC gpa. This was because Texas schools just take the credit of the community college classes I took and not the actual grade.

So in my 2nd year of school at UTSA, I am a sophmore with junior credits. My UTSA GPA is 3.42, which I know could have been higher if I saved some of those core classes for easy A's 🙁 . So my question is...will pharmacy schools look at my UTSA gpa and see that I have completed the credits of my core classes, or will they want to look at my gpa, CC transcript including my ugly CC which is like a 3.0? Should I retake the classes I got C's in CC at the university level?

you might want to do a little research on whether some pharm. school accept only letter grades. The pharm. school that I know of only accept letter grades and not on a pass/fail system, if that's what your CC grade system is set up as. If some of the classes you took at the CC are a prereq. for pharm. school...then you might have to retake those classes....but do a little research.
 
They'll see EVERYTHING because when you put your information into PharmCAS it'll be broken down and they will know where all your grades came from.

I would re-take the classes if you can spare the time, TBH.
 
Thanks guys. None of the classes I took at CC were pharm. pre-reqs except English, which I got a B in 🙄. I'm going to talk to my advisor and see if I should take classes over again.
