I just submitted all of my applications and my PharmCAS transcripts have just been verified. I'm really nervous however, I made the decision to apply in November of 2012 so everything has been one big rush. I didn't want to wait another year out of school. Now the problem I have is making the time pass. I know that it will take a few weeks to hear back from the schools but I am FREAKING OUT! I keep thinking that I haven't done well enough :(

Stats: 80th percentile PCAT
2.83 Overall GPA
2.90 Science GPA
4.0 Post-Bac GPA
Class of 2011, Bachelor of Science
1 year CVS Pharmacy Lead Technician

Do these add up to acceptable?? Im applying to UGA, Mercer, Tennessee, Auburn, LECOM and Florida..

It is what it is. There's nothing you can do right now so definitely relax. Take this time to reflect on what you want to express in your potential interviews. I can see you for sure getting a few invites, but your acceptance is riding on how you perform in the interviews. Don't let that freak you out either. Prepare, relax, and you'll be fine.

Prepare well but otherwise get your mind off the subject and take a breather.

Your stats should get you interviews. Best of luck! Try to do some research on the schools since you got time. Other than that relax.

Im going to be completely honest. Auburns class is basically fully so for your stats you may not get an interview. UF mostly takes in state students so unless you're instate... However they just expanded their deadline which means they didn't have a lot of good applicants this year so that can be good for you. Tennessee and UGA are not only public but they are good schools so I don't know about those... LECOM you have a chance. Maybe apply to more safe schools and private schools like Midwestern, Jefferson, Hawaii, Rosalind Franklin, etc. I think with your stats you'll get interviews but not to the schools you applied to.

Whenever I need to pass the time, I pull out a sweet video game. But then, it does not last very long until my kids come and wreck my meditation.

I've been checking my PharmCAS application every two hours of everyday since they told me they recieved my transcript for almost 2 weeks now, and my GPA is still NOT calculated!

The wait is SOOO nervewracking!
