My PharmCAS math GPA came back as a 3.49. That includes Calculus I, II and III, Linear Algebra and two semesters of calculus-based Statistics (yuck!) from my engineering days. Will I be automatically ranked lower than applicants who just took, say, one course in Calculus and got a 4.0, or is depth of coursework ever taken into consideration by admission committees? Also, what PharmCAS GPA is generally given the most weight?
 
Though technically it depends on the school, I can guarantee you they will look at a "B" in Math 324: Calculus IV more favorably than an "A" in Math 101: Remedial Counting.
