My GPA is a 3.6-3.7 but my PCAT aren't as good. Do you think I will be able to get an interview. I worked at a pharmacy and have volunteer experiences. I am thinking about applying to midwestern Arizona, LECOM, Jefferson, Temple, Nova and Palm Beach. Our the colleges strict on the PCAT minimums to be granted an interview. I am hoping I can get some interviews. I am wondering if AI would be granted any interviews from schools that have a higher PCAT requirement.

I would say it is unlikely you would get an interview at schools that have a min PCAT score requirement. Schools use those min cutoffs to do a quick and dirty elimination of apps. It's unfortunate for people who have good qualities in other portions, but when you get 1500+ apps you have to cut somewhere. Have you considered applying to places that don't require the PCAT? You should also contact the schools you are applying to. Some might be more lenient about it than others.
