Touro seems to have lower gpa averages (3.11 for class of 2009 and 3.22 for class of 2010). This is probably because they are a very new school (I think 2009 was their first class?)

Here are some basic stats on their entering students: http://www.tumi.edu/admitCOP.html

Do well on the PCAT >85%, study hard...don't give up... The above average PCAT should offset the stats. The stats aren't everything, and don't get me wrong they aren't bad. If you are going for next year keep up the extracurricular activities and build that "resume". Grades aren't everything and I've noticed that there have been plenty of people on SDN with sub-average stats that get in eventually if not right away.

If you want it bad enough keep at it.

there are a lot of threads that talk about people "having a chance" to get into pharmacy school. Please take the time to look them up. There is actually a thread with the exact same title as yours.

With regards to picking which schools to get into, you can look at Pharmcas website for some of its participating school info (i.e. accepted class stats like average GPA to get in, minimun GPA required, minimum PCAT required, etc).
