What happened to your shift keys?

Have you ever thought about doing a PhD in Pharmaceutics? Since your interest in pharmacy is still there, you might be able to use some of your biomedical engineering knowledge within pharmaceutics. Furthermore, with your interest in pharmacology and analytical chemistry, I couldn't think of a better marriage of interests.

Here's what my school's Pharmaceutics Department offers: http://www.pharmacy.vcu.edu/Pharmaceutics/GraduateProg.html

They also offer a PharmD/PhD in pharmaceutics, so you could even pursue both.

Hope that helps.

I heard rosie palm and her 5 friends got excited and made a mess on the keyboard ruining the space key watching internet porn...

Moved to prePharm as the content is more suited to this forum.

My particular answer to your question would be it depends on what area of pharmacy interests you more. Not getting in one year does not preclude you from getting in later. PCAT and PharmD are very viable options along that line of thinking. If however you are more into research you can always to the PhD as suggested in a related field (pharmaceutics/pharmacology/proteomics) or you can do PharmD/PhD. The world is yours for the taking, you just need to figure what path you want to take to conquer it.

I think you might find this interesting consider your the topic of this thread. "By discipline, the majority of Ph.D. degrees conferred was in pharmaceutics (43.1 percent). The next highest number was in medicinal chemistry (24.5 percent), followed by pharmacology (16.6 percent), social and administrative sciences (11.0 percent), other: biological & medical informatics and pharmaceutical & biomedical science (3.3 percent) and pharmacy practice (1.6 percent)."

At the M.S. and Ph.D. levels the greatest numbers of full-time students were enrolled in the discipline of pharmaceutics (28.8 percent and 38.6 percent, respectively)."
