Well here it goes. I am trying to get into pharmacy school and I am meeting some opposition. First of all, let me tell you my story. I originally went to St. Louis College of Pharmacy, STLCOP, right out of high school and found out pretty early that I was over my head. I tried to do the best that I could do but eventually I was asked to leave with the possibility that I might someday return. They also told me to retake every thing that I had made a C in and to take the PCAT'S. Well after two years of trying it doesn't look like I am going to get into either of the schools that I have applied to, STLCOP or SIUE. Both colleges say that my GPA is still low even though I have retaken almost 50 credit hours in a little under a year and my PCAT score is an 85%. Please help with what steps need to be taken to rectify this problem.

Should I give up and try something new?

Should I try again next year?
I have taken every thing that is necessary, how can I improve my gpa other than by taking classes that are meaningless.

Please HELP!!

Try aiming a little higher and getting a BA in some sort of bio science or chemistry.

i would definitely try to obtain a bachelor's degree in the meantime. however, if this is the career you definitely want to pursue than you shouldn't give up. apply again next year. see if you can talk to the school's counselors to see what you can do to make yourself a stronger applicant next year. you definitely shouldn't give up on your dream. if you don't mind relocating than apply to some schools outside of the state you reside.

good luck!
