Just looking for some clarification here... I went to FIU back in 1996 and received 18 credits as a non degree seeking student. My question to you all is will Pharm schools accept my grades from 12 years ago and also the ones I did poorly in will they show on my transcripts as F's even if I retake them?

To clarify, they will review all of your transcripts no matter how old they are and if you are applying using PharmCas, you will have to input the grades from twelve years ago, so they will be averaged with your current GPA. Now if you apply to a school like USN that has grade forgiveness, then no they will not look at your grades from twelve years ago. Like I stated in my last post, try to find schools that look only at your prerequisite GPA only or a school that does grade replacement, meaning they take the highest grade you receive in a class if your grades from twelve years ago are that horrible.

HTH

i know some schools require u to retake classes if it was very long ago. I mean considering the pace by which technology and science advances, 12 year is a millennium what you learned back then is probably old old or obsolete stuff.
