Should I retake Ochem for third time? Getting in with C's even possible?

I've already retaken a few classes.
Gen Chem 1 = C retook=A
Gen Chem 2= A
Ochem 1 = F retook=C+
Ochem 2 = A (thank goodness! it finally clicked!)
Physics=C
Intro Stats=C+

Everything else on my application is solid. So I have three C's on my transcript. High B's and A's on everything else. My gpa is a 3.4 and I have lots of pharmacy hours. The school I'm applying to doesn't have a PCAT. What are my chances? And if I don't get in should I go for a BS degree or retake classes?

Pretty much have the same situation as you except I'm in my senior year/last semester of undergrad. You'll be fine. If you don't get in, retake the most important classes and go for your BS at the same time.

Thanks for your response. It's really reassuring to hear that others have similar scenarios. What are you majoring in if you don't mind me asking?

Don't bother. Haven't you heard? There are no jobs in pharmacy.

I was once a denialist and would argue with people like BMBiology, but as someone who is a couple months from graduating.... The saturation is real. It sucks.

Do not worry, simply do a search on this forum about past applicants who had horrible GPAs (2.5)
and still getting admitted to multiple programs.

Your 3.4 is a guaranteed acceptance to the best pharmacy schools.

Don't bother retaking. You have a good overall GPA for pharm school. You will get in somewhere.

Thanks for everyone's wonderful responses. Unfortunately, I'm only applying to one school this year since I haven't taken the PCAT. I figure if I don't get in I'll try to study and apply to more schools next year.

You may get in somewhere, but you have a high possibility of failing out.
