Rejected for low GPA

[Intl student]

I have been rejected for low GPA. At my first year in university I was failed at some courses which reduced my GPA. I was having some special circumstances.
I want to know if there is something can I do as a trial to be accepted? ( for example discussing my circumstances )
Or rejection means no other option?

Thanks.

What is your GPA if you were to exclude the first year grades? Please calculate quality points/hours for the GPA. From my hasty calculation, the maximum it could be is 3.65 and the maximum assumes you failed literally every course in a 16 credit hour per semester load the first year. If its anything above a 3.4, email the admissions department and let them know you've turned it around.

What was your pcat score? I've seen a lot of people on here get accepted with < 3.0 gpa with a good pcat score. Some pharmacy experience wouldn't hurt either.

I would just keep applying to the newer schools. Haven't we seen students with 2.5 GPA get accepted before?
