Can anyone tell me if 64%tile PCAT score is good enough for pharmacy school admission for an ESL student?? Thanks

B/C I am an ESL student and I got high score in bio,chem and math sections but low score in reading and verbal sections!!

It does not matter if you are ESL, because all they care is if you are capable of passing the pharmacy program. One of the way to prove that is high Pcat score. So, I think your score is not Good enough. Retake it!

Try to improve your score the second time. Don't make it sound like you're using ESL as an excuse.

I only saw this today, and although it's a bit old, I wanted to respond.

Admissions criteria are the same for ALL students, ESL or not. ESL is not a crutch, because while you may blame a low PCAT score on your verbal and reading scores, the fact is that there are other ESL applicants who did well on their PCAT verbal and reading. A score of 64 is not great, but it also does not mean that you won't be accepted to pharmacy school.
