A 3.38 is a fine GPA. Many people get into pharmacy school with GPAs lower than that. What schools did you apply to?

Many students do get accepted with a GPA in that range. You may not get into every school you apply to, but you have a decent shot at getting into a school if you apply to more than just a couple. Research your schools' acceptance statistics. There are some good links on this topic in the pre-pharmacy FAQ. Don't avoid applying to any school you really want to go to because of your GPA.

How are your pcat scores? That is looked at just as heavily as grades at some schools.

I got in with a 3.27. They know GPA is general not a particularly absolute indicator of intelligence or potential, so they do not rely solely on it.

I have a friend who got into pharm school last year with a 3.09 gpa and 84th percentile pcat. They really do look at the whole person, not just the grades. Interview is important, it's your chance to show them the REAL you.
