This is my first attempt at getting into pharmacy school and wasn't sure what my application looked like in comparison to others applying. I am a non-traditional student in my early 30s.
Undergrad GPA = 3.2
Undergrad Science=3.2
Graduated with B.S. in Agricultural Science, Minored in Biology
Completed Master of Science in Animal Agriculture
Graduate GPA= 3.8
Graduate Science GPA = 3.9
Biochemistry GPA=3.5 with 6 hours taken
PCAT Score = 79 composite
I have worked in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry for roughly 4 years.......
Yea, the user above pretty much summed it all up really well!
You are looking for comparisons so here are my stats:
Undergrad GPA: 3.48.
Post-bachelor undergrad GPA: 4.0.
Cum. GPA: 3.55.
Science GPA: 3.03.
Bach. of Arts in both Psychology and Anthropology.
Currently a post bach undergrad major in Biology.
PCAT: 58.
And I have received 3 interviews out of 4 schools I've applied to.
So, you can now compare your stats w/mine. In my opinion, however, I think you look like a great and promising candidate and if you write a great PS, as above user stated, and have a great interview, I see no reason why you wouldn't get accepted to at least 1 school. (Though this depends on factors such as how well you interview, how many schools you apply to, etc). Based prely on stats though, I think you are a strong candidate for sure.
Hey, have you recieved any post-interview news yet? any rejection or acceptance? how long did it take for PharmCAS to caculate ur GPA?
Just as an update, I was accepted to both schools I interviewed for.
Gdamn son! Congrats-theefking-tulation!!! Grab yo mum, grab yo dad, grab yo friends, go out and blow a night on STEAK to CELEBRATE! WOOOOOO!!!
The PCAT doesn't help but everything else screams "I could be a competant pharmacist."
If you dont get into the school that you prefer it is because of your PCAT. I can confidently say tht you will get into a school though.
