hi
im currently in enrolled in a 2 year pre-pharm program. i just completed my 3rd semester and am discouraged that my gpa isnt where i want it to be at 2.45. wondering if my initial decision to do 2 years prepharm vs 4 years bachelors wasnt a mistake. taking physics, inorganic chem and calc in one semester was just too much. despite selling themselves as habing a prepharm program i dont fee my school has much of a support system to guide prepharm students. which is why im here looking for some help.
do you guys recommend me retaking some of these courses that brought down my GPA in hopes that i can get that average up?
also im thinking how im going to be able to really prepare for the PCATS next semester while trying to get my grades up? any recommendations for pharm schools that dont require PCATS?
is getting into pharm school with lower then a 2.5 even feasible? and if so, where.
thanks

Hi @runjumpfly1 - you said you are in a 2-year pre-pharm program. Any way to switch into a 4-year degree? Taking another year or two of undergrad would give you time to increase your GPA and write PCAT.

A degree such as bio or chem might be best, as it proves you can handle science coursework. But at this point, it's more important that you choose something you can do well in.
