Hi everyone:
I am a first year masters student and i'm thinking of applying to pharmacy school of Waterloo and UofT in a year. Before writing the PCAT test I want to see if you guys think i actually have a chance. My undergrad GPA is not too high. I did really bad in my first year of university and it is dragging my GPA down to 3.595. I am planning to start shadowing a pharmacist soon and I have volunteered at a hospital for 2 years in the past and i'll for sure publish something before i graduate from my masters program.
How do you guys see my chances of getting in? I'm just really concerned about my GPA. The other thing that concerns me is that I did not take full load courses during my undergrad. I was a full time student but i did not take full load courses. How do you think this would effect my chance of getting in?

Thanks in advance
