Hi,
I'd like to know if having a bs degree in general science and 2 minors (chemistry and psychology) will make my application stand out a bit more, if I will get bonus points for that. My GPA is not as stellar as someone's with a 3.6+. I also have a year of pharmacy tech experience and volunteer work at the hospital. Would these help compensate for a weaker GPA? My chemistry GPA is around a 3.2 and prerequesites a bit over that. My cumulative is say...enough to allow me to apply to the schools
I also have heard from other pharmacy students that age discrimation may be a part of the process of choosing candidates. That being older, supposedly more mature will be a benefit? Any truth to that matter? Thanks.
