Verbal: 15
Composite score:81
Do i have a chance to be accepted to a pharmacy school. My Gpa is 4.00 but i have not have any experience in pharmacy setting yet. Please help! I appreciate your answers a lot.
 
honestly i know people that had low scores in verbal and reading and still got in..remember that your personal statement is also important..some schools dont require pharmacy experience but volunteer works... I will advise you to contact the schoold you want to apply too for their opinions on your score . Honestly dont take except you know u can improve ur va and rc at the same time maintaining or improving ur other ss score ..If i were u i will NoT retake

Thank you for your advice. I will contact the school soon. I honestly dont think i can improve my verbal and reading score if i retake it. I may end up destroy my science scores also.
 
I agree with babeprecious.
i got in University of Minnesota with 17 on reading but my composite was 95. and they did not ask any question about why i had the low reading score. Some schools require a certain percentile on each individual section but most of the schools don't. so it is your best bet to check their official website to see if there are any specific requirements on the score and call their admission office with any questions
