I'd like your thoughts please.

I graduated from UCSD but I still needed to finish some prerequisites. I took two quarter classes - Biochem and Mol Bio - this summer and got B's in both of them. This past Fall 2013 semester at a community college, I got another B in microbiology (I was literally 4 points away from an A..damn my lack of participation) and A in public speaking...but I mean that's public speaking.

So basically I did poorly this past summer and fall and now I'm getting nervous... I have interviews for University of Washington, UCSF, and UIC - do you think that once I update my PharmCAS Fall 2013 grades they'll see that I got another B and think poorly of me, leading me to no admission into their school??

Extremely anxious =/ Do post-interview grades affect your application a lot?
 
Getting a couple "B"s isn't going to wreck you. Very few applicants to any professional program apply with a 4.0; many struggle to float above a 3.0.

What is your GPA now? How about your PCAT? If you're landing around the average credentials for students at your desired schools, you should relax and remember to smile.
