i would have either moved to denver to find a tech job or gotten my second bachelor's in biochem, since i only needed 3 classes to get it. if you have been rejected, try calling the school to find out what part of you app. was weak, then go from there!

I accepted a job as a research associate working for plant biosciences dept. I'm retaking classes and taking upper classes, but will not be on full time basis because of work. I'm going to speak with pharm school admission counselor to see what I should do to improve for next application cycle. DON'T GIVE UP! I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I'm considering getting a third undergrad degree in biotech since I don't have too many courses to take it or take grad school level courses. I'm not sure yet. But I'm for sure taking o chem over. I'll take human anatomy and cell phys since I didn't take these courses yet before I applied to pharm schools in WA. But, go speak with pharm school admission counselor before you do anything.
Good luck. I hope that you will get in next time around.
If I don't hear anything from the school I'm waitlisted at by the beginning of August, I'm going to start searching for a job in New York City and renting an apartment there...as well as taking Anatomy I and II (since my undergraduate university didn't offer that for non-pharm students). I'm also going to start reapplying once the 2007 admissions cycle opens for PharmCAS, and spend some time speaking with pharm school admissions officers at the University of Washington, since I'm taking 2 classes there this summer.
