You have average stats and average pcat score. Your chance of getting accepted will depend on the school's you apply to, how they score the rest of your application, and how well you do on your interview.

I feel like a fortune cookie.

My top schools right now are SIU UIC and midwestern

Anyone your advice is really needed??

From someone who has similar stats... I would say you have a good shot, assuming you have good references, some activities other than just classes in college, and a solid essay. Good luck getting some pharmacy experience!

Are my stats average for the people who apply or the people that get accepted.

Look at the school's websites you are applying too and PharmCAS. Both sources usually post the averages of people accepted.

With your gpa & pcat scores, u'll get accept to Pacific (oregon), Boston (3yrs prog), & Sullivan if u do well on your interviews. U might also get an invitation to an interview w/ Albany (NY). However, u must submit your application NOW. If not, u'll have no chance chance to get in. I have many friends who got accepted to these schools w/ the similar status. No joke!!!!

you definately have a shot, your stats are not too shabby, just get some pharmacy experience and you should be okay, have a good interview as well

 

[bullsfan1986]

the key to getting in to midwestern is applying early. because neither your gpa nor pcat score are astronomical, you have a very good chance of acceptance if your application has already been turned in (or nearly in). UIC on the other hand does not participate in rolling admissions. Good interview skills and pharmacy experience are necessities. good luck.

I disagree with pharmd1980 on getting into albany. I talked to admissions personnel there and they said the only thing they look at in transfers is GPA. I would say you need to have greater than a 3.75 to get in there.
