I have a 3.60 pre-req gpa, and a 3.35 overall. I'm taking ochem 1 and ochem 2 this fall and spring, respectively. I'll be taking Physics as well this fall. I'm going to get straight A's, and have already started studying for the PCAT. Is studying ~2 months before the PCAT a sufficient amount of time? In most cases is the pre-req GPA the most important? My plan is to apply to the University of Montana-Skaggs.
 
2months is plenty of time if you are truly using those 3 months and they mostly look at science gpa
 
Overall I have 3-4 W's, and on average take around 12 credits per semester. Is there anything bad about that?

just explain them in your PS or supplimental apps your W's. They aren't looking for a essay, just a few sentences. If 12 credits is considered fulltime, then you will be okay. If it isn't considered fulltime, you might have to explain them (such as USC).

If you have 2-3 months studying the PCAT, you should do fine, but again, you NEED to study for that exam. Don't mess around in those 2 to 3 months.
 
man you must go to an easy school or something, there is no way in hell i have 2.5 hour to spare to study for pcat when school starts here.
