I created this thread so this year's applicants can discuss the colleges that are right for them. I know some of them have already applied, but i live in texas and applications dont start until september.


I am an average person with 3.5 gpa and 70 on pcat, so i just wanted to discuss which colleges do i have a chance with. last year i applied to texas tech and university of houston and i did not get it.
So i know i will not have a good chance to get into Unvi of mich, or Albany or auburn or the other top schools.

So, does anyone know which colleges will i have a better chance for. I researched a little and found USC, which does not require pcat; and Ferris state university.
Any recommendations.

Researching schools is something only you can really do. There are a lot of things that go into picking schools, including location, costs, etc. We're not admissions, I wouldn't know if a school would accept you or not.

I recommend Shenandoah, Wingate, and Mercer because I liked them 🙂

I do know that a friend of mine found the ranking of pharm schools (and yes, the ranking is by research funding and all schools are just as great, etc), and picked 2 schools from the top 10, 2 schools from 10-20 list, and 2 schools from 20-40 list.

I too, think that if you raised your PCAT, you would have a better chance of getting into texas tech and houston...

Thanks for your comments.
yes.. i am retaking the pcat again, and i know i will have to do a research on finding pharmacy colleges that i will have best chance on. But i guess just this general discussion will also help others.
And yeah i do have extraciricullar activities, and community service, and letter of recommendation..... and i am pharmacy tech certified.. but still trying to find somewhere to get experience
