Low Uni GPA, High CC GPA

This, I believe, will not look good on my transcript. I have a 3.3 university gpa. At the same time, I have a 4.0 cc gpa, which inflates my total gpa to around a 3.5. I definitely would be dismissed over someone with a 3.4 uni gpa. I think adcoms would question considerably the validity of my gpa. I also have a 3.0 science gpa, which will significantly hurt my chances. And last but certainly not least, I received a D in Physics Lab. Some schools won't even look at me because I failed a prereq( Ferris State told me that you drop 30 rankings if you retake a class). Can the pcat save me if I do well enough? If I don't do well the first time, will retaking it look bad?

Not all pharm schools look at where you took classes - for example, UIC explicitly states they don't care where they took your classes, so someone with a 3.4 from a university would match up against your 3.5 combined. They think that uni students will "make up" for possibly lower GPAs by scoring higher on the PCAT. So don't worry, you still stand great chances.

its understandable if you took lower division courses at a cc then took upper division at university and that's why your GPA dropped. upper div courses are a lot harder. in my case my lower division GPA at cc is 3.7 while upper division is 3.5.

I don't think you are serious, but in case you are, YOU ARE FINE. Your cum Uni and cum CC gpa's are pretty damn good if you ask me. As for the science gpa, it is no where near bad, but I can see why you are worried. To make up for it, kick butt on the pcat and that should be sufficient. Seriously, pick up your head cause your stats are muy bueno, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
