I am still not done with my PharmCAS application. The reason is because I have been dragging on my PCAT. I did terrible on the one in September and I missed the test on November.
-Bachelor's of Science (chemistry)
-A year of hospital volunteer experience
-Cumulative 3.2 gpa
-LOR: from a pharmacist, director of a department in the hospital, and one from an organic chemistry professor.
-My personal statement needs a few more changes before I can submit it
I live in NYC but I did my undergrad in Buffalo, NY. After graduating and coming back to NYC, I've grown accustomed to this place so I prefer studying here, but my choices are limited to LIU and Touro college.
My concerns:
1) I'm late in the application cycle now. I met a girl who was already accepted to pharmacy school and advised me to complete my application ASAP.
2) I took all my prereqs in Buffalo and I found out that unlike Buffalo, most schools require an introductory economics class. Someone told me to sign up for a non-matriculation class in a college near me, but how do I know if it qualifies?
3) PCAT: I did terrible on my first try. I did not do well because I am not good at standardized exams. I lost my touch after two years out of college compared to others who still have things fresh in their mind. I hope to anticipate at least an average/minimum percentile when I take the text next week. I took the official practice exams by Pearson. The tests doesn't seem that hard if I give myself unlimited time but that's not how it goes on the real exam.

I previously tried to go for the early assurance when I was an undergrad. After failing the interview and being rejected, I quit because I didn't want to go through this lengthy process. I am out of choices after not having much luck with my Bch.S. So here I am right now working on my application. I am out of school so I don't even have any friends or peers to discuss this with. I have to write this somewhere to get it off my mind. Thank you for reading.
