Guys, I just registered for the PCAT for July 19th.
I'm a bit nervous. I'm a senior at Purdue University - Calumet (I'm a senior because my degree is in a B.S. of Chemistry Pre-medicine so I have extra credits), and I'll be done with the required Pharmacy classes in FALL 2012.
So, I have classes now obviously and I have to STUDY for the PCAT NOW, until July, to do well.
I have 3 STUDY books. I have a good GPA, do research, I have won awards for grants and stipends for my research, and volunteer, and am in clubs like biology and pre-professional club and I'm trying to hold a position as President of the Chem club before Fall 2012 to put that on my resume. I also work at a Phamarcy and should be able to get a letter of Rec. from the Pharmacist and a letter from my mentor/PhD in Organic chem whom I do research with.
I know it can be done, I only have 3 months. What about the Kaplan prep course I hear about?
How can I combine studying for the PCAT with my current classes and not neglect them? Finals will be coming up soon
I just want to make sure, that if I study from my 3 books, I don't get surprised on the PCAT because stuff I have never seen will be on it. I paid 200$
Also, what about Purdue University? they don't require the PCAT, but I clicked them to "submit" my scores on the PCAT registration. Will it help? should I take that off?, I don't want to pay more.
Could someone throw some advice, maybe a fellow who just got accepted or PharmD. student?
This has been my dream for a while now, and no one in my family holds a Doctorate degree. I busted my balls studying and gettings A's, though I'm not perfect. I studied till 2-5am some days, and really genuinely enjoy science. I don't have nor have I ever had a lot of guidance because my father nor mother are Pharmacist nor Doctors for that matter.
Could someone spare some advice?
