Hi you guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

So here is my situation:

I have one more year left in undergraduate school at CSULB for Biochemistry and my goal was always to go into pharmacy school. Initially I did not do so well in college (just not focused, life problems, overwhelmed with social aspects of college) and failed many classes, never because I was not capable but more that I was not responsible. I have retaken them all and received A's in all of these classes as well as receiving the Organic Chemistry Award for 2015. Anyways my cumulative GPA is 3.48 after generally getting all A's for the last 3-4 semesters in my upper division classes but I realized that my PharmCAS GPA as of right now is 2.68 because it includes the F's. I am still going to try my best to pursue pharmacy school but obviously I am not in the best of positions.

TLDR

So basically I am wondering if the PA programs accept retakes? and if you would recommend I take this route?
If not what other medical professions duo accept retakes if any?
If anyone could recommend to me a good profession ?

Thank you in advance !

PA schools go by the CASPA calculations for GPA which includes every single college course you have ever taken. Retakes for classes are also calculated within the CASPA GPA but it does not replace the original grade, I believe the two grades (original + retake) are averaged together. I believe that there are a few PA programs that look at your last 45-60 credits which may also help.
