Most schools just look at your pharmcas gpa which takes into account every class you've taken including repeats. Schools that don't use pharmcas have different rules but I'm not sure about those.

But before applying WORK in a retail pharmacy first. This is sooooo important because you wouldn't believe the amount of unhappy RPHs that had never worked in a pharmacy and had unrealistic expectations. For some odd reason it's not a requirement to pharmacy schools but it should be. Research is way different than the type of work a pharmacist does.

Otherwise do well on the pcat and apply broadly and you'll get in. Good luck
