OK TO START APPLYING?

[Mxt1990]

Hey guys, so please let me know if these stats are good enough to start applying or should I hold off and retake the PCAT and then apply..

My top choices are NSU and LECOM.

GPA 3.2
PCAT 64%
Shadowed at pharmacists. Good rec letters .

Thanks guys!

Because your GPA is not as competitive, I suggest to take the PCAT again. A high PCAT score can definitely compensate for a low GPA, but not the other way around. I think their average GPA is around 3.5.

I would retake it, you dont want to waste money going through the application process and not get accepted when you still have time to retake the PCAT. E-mail your desired school with your stats also and see what they say. How did you shadow a pharmacist? I need a letter from a pharmacist in short notice but Im not a tech.

Thanks! I think I will retake it in October. Can't hurt.

There are a lot of privately owned pharmacies are around me , so I shadowed with a few. Just go around and ask! They're usually really nice about it
