I'm a junior, and will be leaving early, without my bachelors for UMB.
But I'm majoring in Neurobiology Physiology
3.75 GPA.
PCAT 80% but the Chem I got a 91% (had no idea that was so important)
Extracurriculars: I'm at CP too
so...
Pre-Pharmacy Society (you should join!!)
TERPcorps-a community service organization that's sponsored by CSL, we're in charge of Saturday of Service, if you've heard of that.
Student Global AIDS Campaign
OMSE Peer Mentor
CCC
Alpha Lambda Delta, Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society
And I work as a tech at Rite Aid pharmacy, volunteered at Washington Adventist Hospital, and did research w/ Dr. Fenster for a year.
I think extracurriculars and experience is very important. I've heard of many stories where students who have lower GPAs and PCATs get in because they are well rounded. From what you've told us, I feel that you've done well to show them that!! Work hard on doing well in your next few semesters (to boost that GPA
) and study for your PCATs.
If you haven't been to any of the Pre-Pharmacy Society meetings, you can PM me with your email address and I can give you some copies of the handouts.
Good luck!
