What GPA do Pharmacy Schools look at? Major GPA or Cumulative?

 

[PharmOl]

Overall and pre-requisite.

Depends on the school how "important" each GPA is to your overall application. They can look at cumulative, science (&math, sometimes), and pre-req GPAs. I have never heard of them specifically looking at the GPA for courses in your major.

Science and cumulative GPA.

You want to have a 3.0 at least but some schools only require 2.5 or above.

That's a pretty rash generalization without considering other aspects.

Those are the two they look at, but as for what the shoot for it depends on what the school is looking for and what the rest of your application looks like.

If you only meet the mininum GPA requirements then you better have a stellar PCAT %ile along with extensive ECs and volunteering experience.

Why do you like to argue with me so much? You are so good at it you would make a great politician.

Because you spout off incorrect information at times and/or choose not to listen to reason

I'm not arguing, I'm correcting. In any case, the matter is now closed
