I'm a P4 on APPE's right now and I'm considering career paths and residency. I plan on attending midyear and have been looking into programs. I just wanted to see if I had a shot at obtaining a residency at decent/good institutions.
Right now my GPA is a 3.2, our school counts APPEs as grades and I anticipate this to go above 3.3 by December (made A's on all my rotations so far). By the time December comes I will have done 3 clinical rotations with my community rotation being heavily MTM based as well as a management rotation in clinical pharmacy. I have a published publication from my senior year of undergrad and have worked on unpublished (but will be published eventually) research while in pharmacy school. I have held a leadership position in pharmacy school and have some volunteer projects on my CV. As far as work experience goes I only have experience in retail. I worked as a tech and as an intern for 2 different chains.
Do I have a shot at programs? My main fear is my GPA feeling low, everyone I hear from or hear about has 3.6+ and stressed how hard it is to match. I've had a few preceptors offer to write me LoR's if I chose to apply. Any advice would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm aware I accidentally put this in the wrong spot
