If I can get these stats would I need a degree?

Do you think a 3.8 GPA when the average accepted is 3.7 can make up for the lack of a degree?

Well you don't NEED a degree with or without a 3.8.

3.8 is a very good GPA, but what about PCAT and everything else??

I know there's so many other factors but I left them out because GPA is the one you can't really change...much.

For PCAT let's say I get 75-80s, have GOOD lors (2 from prof, 1 from pharm who graduated from the university), but no solid pharm experience and I'm internatoinal.

If I don't make it into this university, would it be safe to say I'd have a DECENT shot at other ones?

You have a decent shot at any school if you have a mid 70s or higher PCAT.

Your chances are EXCELLENT. I had those exact (almost) stats, applied to only one school (with a 3.7 GPA average), and was accepted. Don't sweat it!!! What school is it? Because, of course, some schools may be much more difficult to get in statistically than others.

Heck no. I'm just a regular white girl. I would think your chances are even better since you are already attending the undergrad program of your desired pharmacy school. Smart. 👍 I did the same thing! 😀
