So I retook organic chemistry 2 and turns out I failed it, I didn't fail it the first time but got a D. So I am retaking it again.

My cumm gpa is probably like 2.8. Is there anyway I can still get into pharmacy school?

Depends, which schools are you applying to? You'll probably have to explain why you failed the second time and have to retake it again for the third time.. But I knew many people in your shoes that retook orgo for the 4th time even, to get a better grade. Not sure what their chances are of getting in, but probably very slim.

Agreed. This is an uphill battle. One retake, understandable. But two retakes raises a red flag. I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker, per se. How were your other chem/sci grades?

"Back in my day...." Lol had to do it- (I was in a 0-6 program) and if if was less than a C (even a C-) , including orgo, that was considered failing. Any pharmacy school has those standards- so hold yourself to them now. Consider a D failing. You would repeat the course and even drop back a year if it wasn't offered again. Practice now, just my advice to prepare for consequences. Unfortunately I lost a lot of friends/classmates this way.
