thanx for reading this because I really don't know where I can ask help anymore!

I have a degree in BSc major in molecular biology and biochemistry (MBB) in Canada. My grade is really low, 2.54 as overall cgpa. Now, I am studying at UFV for practical nursing and my current gpa is 3.56(In Canada as well). I am thinking to work as a nurse for 2 years and apply for pharmD program in United State. I know most insitiute requires student to take some courses in US institution. Also, I had read some comments from others thread about letter grade of pharmD pre-requisite! I had c- for one general bio. Also, many c+ in math and physics and chem! I feel really lost now becuz I feel my chance to get in is very low!
1. Is anybody has suggestion for me to increase my opportunity to enroll into the program?
2.Also, they require speaking class, I'm just wondering what type of class would be in Canada because I'm search many universties in Canada, there is no class that equivlent to their requirement!
3. Also, is there anyone who is from Canada and had your degree in Canada and transfer to US to study pharmD program? Could you please tell me how you did it? That would be great thanx!
thanks for the help!

1. The speaking class is any kind of a speech class, like public speaking. Im sure Canadian universities have those.
2. You will need to work on your writing skills. Just from reading the post I can spot numerous grammatical errors that will definitely lower your chances. Also depending on your English fluency, you might need to take the toefl.
3. Take classes that you received low scores in to up your gpa (easier said than done).
4.You need to take the pcat and score well on it.
5. Research, research, research. Different schools, prerequisite requirements, etc.
5. It wont be easy my friend, but just Fight the good fight every moment, every minute, everyday.

You're at UFV doing your LPN? This after getting your BSc in molecular biology & biochemistry? Crazy. Which campus? Chilliwack? Abbotsford? I only ask because I'm in Chilliwack and I'm moving to Colorado in a few months to start the PharmD program at CU there. PM me, I can go over some things with you that I did to help me get accepted.
