Pharmacy GPA concerns: U of Toronto, U of Waterloo

[in0220]

Hi
I am applying for these two schools this year.
My GPA is ~8.2 in 9-point grade scale (not too sure, but ~3.6/4).
My PCAT composite is 96.
If you are also applying for these schools or have applied to these schools, please let me know of your GPA.
I know my PCAT score is high, but I am afraid my GPA is on the non-competitive side, and I won't have a chance of getting in.
Please be courteous and give me advice.
Thank you

I am 90% sure you should be very competitive for most pharmacy schools. I don't know your extracurriculars, volunteer work, work experience, etc. but generally you are very strong.

Please apply to more schools than 2. Please, apply to at least 4 or 5, for your own sake. You may be very well qualified or even overqualified, but still get a whack rejection.

I'd say you have a great chance, any GPA that's ~90% is pretty competitive... I'm applying to only U of Toronto this cycle with a 8.4/10 cGPA and PCAT composite of 97. I know some people who have a ~7.0 GPA (out of a 10-point grade scale) and PCAT in the high 60s-low 70s who still got an interview! So you're fine. As for Waterloo, I think you still have a good chance provided that you have some ECs etc. under your belt.
