So I just got my PCAT and scored a composite 84%. But my GPA is real low... 2.8. I worked too much cause I'm poor plus my study skills were bad during my early years... and middle...😀 I got better since, hence my higher PCAT score. I just graduated with a BS in biology and currently working at a hospital as a pharmacy technician. I am applying this year for pharmacy school, but do I have a chance? Which schools would look at me as a whole? its hard to research which schools prefer what 🙁
 
Many schools do look at the "whole person" but you should research your schools and not go after ones with the 3.0 GPA cutoff. You have this semester to get that GPA over 3.0 so be sure to focus on school now.
