I don't think anyone can really predict your chances of getting into pharmacy school by just looking at your GPA and PCAT. Remember that the AdCom will carefully consider your personal statement, recommendation letter, work experience, volunteer experience, extracurricular activities, etc. However, by just looking at your grades, your chance of getting invitation for an interview might be pretty high IMHO. =)

Id say your chances are competative of getting an interview, especially if you are in state.

Awhile back, I was talking to the admission's counselor at the university where I want to attend, and I was acquiring about the admissions process. I'd asked him if my gpa would play a big factor in determining my chances, and I was quite surprise when he told me that someone with a gpa of 2.63 was just admitted in the fall of 2005. So, I would say its quite hard to predict your chances. Every school looks for something different.

That is a good point. Every school wants something different. And just test scores and gpa are rarely enough to get you into school, its all about the total package.
