Hi guys,
Just wondering what schools are out there for students who've done..."poorly" in their first 1-2 years of school. Any pharmacy schools that are at least somewhat possible to get into for a student in my situation?
(Here's my story in case you haven't read before: I failed 3 courses (None of those being science courses, but one was a math course) in the first semester, and got 2 A's, 2 C's, 1 D in my second semester. In the third semester of school, I was still in the dorms and attempted to take physics and chemistry 102. Big mistake. Not to mention that I had taken accounting (intermediate). Result: I failed 2 classes (physics + accounting), and got a D in chem.
After this, I came home sophomore year and took a small load at a CC (15 credits, 4.0 GPA). Around this time, I switched majors to Psych and thought I was done with pharmacy. But I ended up getting a National Certification for Pharmacy Technicians and got a job working at a retail pharmacy. Last semester (I'm a junior), I took a 20 course load, including a Physiological Psyc class and a Stat course. I easily managed a 4.0. I also had retaken physics at CC and earned a B (probably would've been an A if I hadn't also been working 20-30 hrs a week). At the moment, I'm taking 23 credits, including genetics, neuroscience, second part of stat course, and a perception course, as well as doing research for academic credit.)
Any schools that would remotely accept me if I took the remaining courses at a CC? Prospects grim even for "Easy" schools?
