Hey guys, this is my first ever post on SDN, so I'm very sorry if I mess anything up.
A little background about me as a student:
I just turned 19, I'm about to be a sophomore at Missouri State University and I'm looking to apply to pharmacy school for the fall of 2017 at UMKC. I have a 3.69c GPA and a 3.59 science/math GPA. I am a member of MSU's honors college, I have over 300+ hours of volunteer experience, including 50 in a hospital pharmacy, I'm the secretary of MSU's pre-pharmacy society, and I'm a member of our school's American Chemical Society. I'm also an URM if that counts for anything (not saying it should).
My transcript is the following:
St. Louis University Dual Credit classes during high school:
Gen Chem 1- B
U.S History -B+
English 100-B
Gen Chem 2-A
Spanish 1-A
Spanish 2-A
Classes taken at MSU:
Biology 1-A
Calculus 1-A
Political Science-A
Philosophy-A
Public Speaking-A
Organic Chem 1-B+
Genetics-A
Medical Terminology - A
English 200-A
Psychology-A
(Still need to take organic 2, physics, anatomy, and microbiology.)
I'm taking the PCAT in three weeks and my projected score via Pearson is around 60-80th percentile composite.
From what I've listed, do I seem to be a fairly competitive applicant? Or should I wait another year to make my application better.
Thanks everyone.
