Hello. I am new to this forum.
I am a 38 y.o. former educator with a Master in Teaching of History(4.37 average). I wanted to go to Pharm school back in the late 90's. But, due to family responsibilites, I had to side track this career change. Today, I am hoping to begin my quest to become a future pharmacist. The problem is, I took half of my prereqs back in the 80's. I got mostly C's and a few B's. but have to retake calc (got a D in 1987). I have taught in high school for 10 years and have done community service over the past 4 yrs.
I am wondering if the courses I took over a decade ago will be accepted. If not, what should I do? If not, how can I demonstrate competency in these courses without having to retake them? Although I really want to pursue a PharmD, it would be difficult to do this (have a family and am the main caretaker of my children).
I also have a question about the PCAT. If I had to retake the PCAT, will the scores be averaged or only the highest score be considered?
I would appreciate any opinions, suggestions, advice anyone can give to me. Thanks.
