Minimums for schools...

Hi All,
I'm concerned about my QA score (41). I know schools probably have minimums for COMPOSITE SCORES, but what about for subsections? The rest of my scores are:

78 Verbal
85 Reading
81 Bio
73 Chem

COMPOSITE 77

That 41 worries me...Should I be worried and take again? I'm looking at UMKC, SIUE, STLCOP, and Creighton Distance to name a few midwest schools...

It completely depends on the school. Check out the pharmcas school pages. It lists the schools requirements for the pcat. If I had to throw out a random number I'd say less than half of schools have a minimum score req for subsections.

Some school will probably overlook your 41% in QA, but other schools focus on the sciences and QA. I would take it again. Did you do well in your math classes? That might help.

We'll have to see if I do well--take calculus I this summer starting May 26--July 31. I learned enough Calculus for the PCAT to answer basic questions like deriatives and stuff like that...So maybe I can do good in the class and demonstrate some proficiency...
