Hi Everyone,
As I noticed many of you are nervous or discouraged about getting in Pharm School as I am, I thought this may be the place to really have terms put into reality for me. I had decided I wanted to apply to Pharm School about a year+ ago. I am currently a Dietetic Science major (nutrition science basically). I will have a BS in Science, and much chemistry, biology, etc. However, I am missing certain classes such as Chem II, Calc, Physics, and a few more. I will be taking Pre-calc this fall as my school does not allow Calc I until the pre-calc is fulfilled. I also plan to take physics in the spring so I at least have a few more courses. I will be taking the PCAT's in October (it is the only date offered in my state before applications are due). My question to everyone is this ...do you think I have any chance what so ever of getting in with missing courses? My GPA is ~3.6 - 3.7 and hopefully going up a bit more as I am finishing a few summer courses as we speak. With a good GPA, hopefully good PCAT scores, and most of the class requirements (but organic II missing, chem II missing, Biology I missing). I have courses like Biochemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology, countless advanced nutrition courses, which are not necessarily required but still science related. Is anyone else in a some what similar boat? I feel just awful, as I know I can do it, but I do not know how the actual school will view me when I am simply a piece of paper to them. Any suggestions or comments would be great, the good or the bad. Thanks!
