Low Reading Score on Pcat!

Hi,

I just took my pcat and need some advice from you guys:

Chem: 97
Math: 95
Bio: 89
Verbal: 70
Reading: 16
Composite: 88

English is my second language and I have a hard time understanding those reading questions... I'm planning on applying for TX school... My gpa at community college is 3.9 and I have no bachelors degree... 100+ hrs of volunteering at hospital pharmacy!

Do u think that low reading score will hurt my chances? Should I take pcat again?

Thank you in advance

i got 93 composite with 34 writing 26 reading. did really well on science but my writing and reading scores are horrible.

i still received 7 interviews already (with 3.25 gpa)
those arent top schools but still.

u have chances a lot! ur composite is good. make sure to check or contact schools for minimum pcat. some schools have cutoffs like 20+ on each section but with ur composite u will be fine 🙂 goodluck!
