PCAT scores, GPA, etc....

I know the board is probably flooded with the "What are my chances??" questions, but I've yet to find a fellow student (in person) who has been accepted into a pharmacy school and is able to give me some sound advice. So here it goes:

My GPA is pretty good; a 3.95 overall:

4.0 in Econ, MicroBio, Bio 1, Bio 2, GenChem 1, GenChem 2, Orgo 1, Orgo 2, Calc 1, History and a 3.5 in Psych, Music

Now here's the kicker: My freshman year, there was a situation where I attempted to drop my Stats class, but the Prof. did not sign off on it.....so, the first time around, I got a 0.0. Yes, that's correct; a zero, nothing, nada. The second time I took it, I earned a 4.0.

I am applying to Ferris State, which I know has a penalty for repeating classes, especially those with a previous grade of below 2.0.

However, I was the recipient of the Freshman Chemistry, Sophomore Chemistry, and Sophomore Biology Awards, which were presented by the school from which I transferred. (Maybe it might give me an edge? No idea.....crossing my fingers: )

I am taking the PCAT for the first time in October, so I do not now how I will fare with that.

Drum roll for the most quoted question..........

"So, what are my chances??"

And just for good measure: Am I really going to have to kick a** on the PCAT to get in?

You go in the category of shouldn't even be asking. One screwy grade isnt going to keep you out, especially since you retook the class and got an A. And fyi, a 3.95 gpa is a little better than "pretty good".
