Ok, what are my chances?
GPA of 3.75 in both cumulative and science pre-reqs (Organic I & II are done!)
Bachelors Degree, pharmacy tech experience (pending certification, took test two weeks ago)
PCAT score 61 composite (second attempt, from a 47 composite on my first). Thank god my two highest were a 78 in chemistry and 69 in biology, which is probably more important to pharmacy schools since none of us will be pursuing an English degree.
Some schools publish their PCAT criteria, others don't. Obviously, I am concentrating on those with a more lax PCAT requirement. Theoretically, I can improve on the PCAT, but I'm getting PCAT burnout too, and standardized tests are just not my thing because there is always the "best answer" crap.
This may be an insider's question, but are there schools that will relax their PCAT requirement if your GPA is good? For instance, if a school does not specify that their MINIMUM requirement on the PCAT is let's say 80%, does this mean that there is leeway there?
Which schools have been known to relax their PCAT percentiles if your GPA is higher than average?
Thanks so much for any input. Much appreciated!
