So I graduated this May with a bachelors in Biology. I had always had an interest into going into pharmacy but my family pushed me into another direction.
-I have a 3.65 overall/3.80 science GPA (overall is low due to my first year at my previous school and I had back to back 4.0's my senior year)
-2 publications (one in tox, one in eco)
-Presented my research at multiple conferences all over the country (OR,MD,MA)
-Worked for a year in a Toxicology Lab
-Spent 2 years as the Academic Resource Centers Bio Tutor
-President of Biology Club for the last year
-Got the Academic Achievement Award in Bio (highest GPA in major for graduating class)
My extracurriculars are solid but I lack any legitimate pharmacy experience. I am hoping my academics make up for it.
I really want to go to MCPHS Worcester, which luckily does not require a PCAT.
Do you guys think I have a decent shot at being accepted and could forgo not having to take the PCAT?
I also have fairly high MCAT/GRE scores...do you think they can benefit me in anyway?
Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
