Hi guys I just got my Jan PCAT score back. I got overall 94 but breakdown follows as:

99 for chem
89 for qa
88 for bio
58 for verbal
40 for reading

I completely bombed the English section. For writing I got one 2.5 and one 3. I am not a native speaker. But how will this affect me to get into pharmacy schools like University of Tennessee and Ohio state?

I have overal 3.4 gpa my science gpa about the same.

I think you'll be fine if you can actually speak comprehensible English at the interview. My RC score wasn't much higher than yours, and I scored 2.5/2.5 on the writing section.

When you score poorly in the verbal/english sections, the schools will look primarily to your personal statement to determine whether you have a communication impediment. As long as your oral and written English is strong enough to convince the interviewer that you will be able to communicate with peers and educate patients, then its really a non-issue.
