hey guys

i need your advice on this.
i still go to a community college because most pharm schools in the south, you dont need a four year degree. i plan to take my pcats in 2007. (i can probably take them now, but im too chicken poop too). i plan to transfer to ga tech for fall of 2007 too (b/c there is a good chance i cant get in the first time i apply). i'm almost done with my prereq's, all i need is organic 1,2 and physics and maybe microbology. my GPA is a 3.6 right now but i'm trying to bring it up. so my question is... will it be too late by the time i take my pcats and apply because its getting harder to get in every year? if you guys were me, would you just take it and just start applying everywhere or just take it slow and apply when im ready? dont get me wrong, i would love to apply now and go now!! but i feel like theres abit more classes i want to take and do. decisions decision. help me.....

I'm not sure that I fully understand your question. As far as I know, you won't be considered a pharm school applicant until you have all of your pre-reqs completed, in progress, or planned for the next semester. Are you currently in Organic and Physics? Both of those take a year to complete. If you are not in the first semester of those classes currently, I don't think you can apply for 2006.

I would wait to take the PCAT until you have at least 2/3 of your prereqs done. I took my PCAT a bit early in the game and got a lower score than I would like to have had.

Some schools offer both Organic chemistry classes in the summer. I feel sick when I think about that!!!
