I was in a direct pre-pharmacy program out of high school that had a guarantee that I would get an interview for pharmacy school provided that I meet a certain pre-req GPA. Unfortunately, I was not able to maintain that GPA, and was not offered an interview. Still wanting to go to pharmacy, I re-took some of the pre-reqs that I struggled with at a CC this year, and my pre-req GPA has gone back up to about 3.69. I am transfering to a state school this fall, and hopefully will get my bachelors degree. I do, however, have about 135 units total, although I don't know how much that will compensate for my lack of a degree. I am also working as a pharm tech right now, and am volunteering with some organizations. Do any of you have any feedback on anything else that I can do to strengthen my application? Also, I wanted to re-take o-chem, but my CC does not offer the whole year in the summer; they only offer one semester of it during the summer, and I would have to take the second semester during the fall semester. Do you think ti will be better to take the whole year during the summer at another university so that I can submit all of o-chem grades by August, or should I take it a CC and finish in Dec? I am looking at California schools, so I have not taken my PCATs, but I am thinking of taking them this summer so that I can apply to non-Cali schools also. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
