So here's my horrendous case:
I have a 2.75 GPA. I retook a few of my science courses because I failed them miserably while going through some personal issues. I retook the first course of the organic chemistry 3 times, and finally got a C. I also failed in a general biology and physiology lab, and still need to be retaken for a better grade. For all other classes, I received average grades, splotched with As, Bs, and Cs.
What are my chances of getting in with these atrocious grades? I'm planning on taking the PCATs, but don't know how to study for it. I struggle particularly in ochem and genchem. Do you think the Kaplan's MCAT comprehensive study material on Ochem and biology would suffice for the PCATs?
I know my case isn't beautiful, but my passion for pharmacy wasn't clear until it was too late to salvage my GPA. I'm here for advice and constructive criticism. If there's anything you guys could do to help, please do. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
