How can i be nationally certified. I am certified in California but want to keep working if i get into a school far far away. Do i have to take another test or can i just apply for it?

Also a WAMC Q:

a. Schools you are applying to: Thomas Jefferson, Harding, 2 NO ACPE schools.
b. Overall GPA: 2.84
c. Math/Science GPA: 2.55
d. GPA in last one or two school years: 3.30
e. Complete PCAT scores (or just composite): 81 composite (all good except reading comprehension.
f. Pharmacy experience obtained: Tech license, 1 year volunteer in inpatient and outpatient. Pharmacy technician 1 year

g. Date of application submission (PharmCAS/primary and secondary)
10/20 PharmCAS. Secondary right now?
Additionally, the following will help us gauge your chances but are more optional:
B.S. in chemistry. Hardship during undergrad (worked over 40 hours and family issues...)
h. Number of LORs and source of LORs:3, 1 pharm, 2 teachs (orgo, micro)
i. Non-pharmacy work and/or volunteer experience: volunteer, church
j. Self-perception of interview skills:good
k. Overall impression of personal statement quality: good, wrote about my hardships and also how it relates to me becoming a pharmacy specialist.

DO I EVEN HAVE A snowball chance in hell?
