"Each pharmacy school has a different policy for weighing PCAT scores with your GPA. The majority of pharmacy schools will weigh your PCAT score more heavily than your GPA. In fact, some schools will weigh your PCAT at 70% and your GPA at 30%, which means that this one examination is worth more than your 4 years of undergraduate work." Does anyone know how true is this?

Each school has their own way of assessing GPA and PCAT. Some schools don't even look at PCAT. That information sounds dubious at best. I think what they are trying to say is that each major and each university has completely different ways of grading, so GPAs don't tell the whole story. PCAT is a moderately useful equalizer. But no, there is no hard and fast rule as to how much the PCAT counts and the GPA counts.
