Hey guys,
I am a third year student at a great top 20 academic university (planning on staying 5 years). I have been a pre-med student but I have always been considering Pharmacy and actually may switch to pre-pharm. I have decent academic numbers, a 3.42 overall GPA and 3.50 science GPA. I am in a Sports Medicine Internship Program as a student athletic trainer at a major Div 1 athletic school which i am very passionate about, also giving me very good clinical hands-on patient experience (>1500 hours).
This internship, plus another job I have to give me extra cash, is keeping me very busy and I am worried that I may not get much, if not any pharmacy experience if I decide to apply to Pharmacy schools. Will this matter/be taken into bad consideration by schools? Is it too late to turn back now? Also, I was a two year varsity Div 1 athlete at this school prior to my internship which I feel like will help me out. Let me know, thanks guys!
P.S. What is a solid GPA to be competitive for pharmacy school?
