To all the "Can I get in with a bad GPA" threads

[Falokis]

---

Members don't see this ad.

Short answer is yes. Here is a motivational thread from 2008 when I got in.

Everyone always ask about who got in with a low gpa and what they did to get them in, so i thought I would post my story.

First off, I have the lowest accepted GPA that I've seen on the boards. PharmCAS said it was a 2.41. I have multiple F's and D's. I have no Pharmacy experience. How did I get in? Well, I struggle through my first degree and it wasn't because I couldn't do the work. I just wouldn't try. Basically I was an abused child and it caused problems well into my mid-20's. Around that time I had graduated with a 2.02GPA. I managed to work out my issues and move on. I applied to another school and worked for a Medical Technology degree. I put forth the effort and made a 3.6GPA for those 60hours I needed to graduate again. Those weren't easy classes either. Clinical BioChem 1-4, Clinical Micro 1-4, Immunohematology, etc. Graduated passed the certification test, which I found out made the PCAT seem easy. I worked as a full-time Medical Technologist and took a full load of classes I needed to finish my requirements for pharmacy school. Again, great grades. I took the PCAT and got a 91%. So what got me in? A good PCAT. An excellent grade trend, which I think is the most important factor in my case. I feel I wrote a great personal statement. I know I had great letters of req. I also admit luck played it's part. It had to. Don't give up if you have screwed up. It can be done if you are willing to work at it and show you want it.

Good luck to those that are struggling to get in. You can do it.

Now, I'll give you some updated information. I'm in my fourth year and it's pretty sweet. It's all rotations with very little class type work, but this wasn't always the case. Let me put it to you like this, Pharmacy School is infinitely harder than undergraduate. Well, the one I go to is harder. I cannot speak for others. When I was in undergrad, I put forth zero effort until I graduated that first time. After that, I put in about 40% effort to get those grades in Med Tech. What I mean by that is I might study a night or two before the exam. To put that in perspective, I study probably 6-8 hours a day (everyday) outside of class to get through pharmacy school. Now, that doesn't make it hard. It's just there is a ton you need to learn at a faster rate. P2 year, we had a test every two weeks on about 250 pages of notes. That was just one of the classes.

The hard part (for me at least) was getting past the "I have to study for this many hours a day and have no real life." This might not be an issue for some, but I was just married. Me and my wife, also, had a baby girl my P2 year. I didn't see her at all most days. I fought with the time/life fact my P1 year and my grades were the absolute minimum with out going on probation. It was down to the wire during finals. After weighing it out that summer, I said I would do what it took. For me, it took putting in the time. After I got past that fact, it's not bad. I lost tons of time with my new baby girl. 🙁 It's different for everyone, though. Some people just struggle with the material and others struggle with the pressure/pace.

In the end, my point is you can get there. Do you really want to though? If you are struggling now, what will it be like when it is 10x harder? If it was a motivational issue, why do you think it won't be a problem in Pharmacy school? Are you sure it is worth what you might need to give up (moving, relationship, time, life)? There are dozens of questions like this you should ask yourself. If you can't say it is worth it 100% without a doubt, you won't make it.

With pharmacy school, you have to be 100% all in or you won't make it. You need 100% focus and dedication and if you do, it isn't really all bad. I hate to say this to those struggling, but getting in is the easy part.

You CAN do it, but be sure you really want it and it is worth the time and effort to get in and what you need to do to stay in.

Good luck. 👍

Can we sticky this thread, please?!?!?!?!?!?

I wish that more people would return to SDN after getting accepted, updating their progress. I'm always intrigued to hear how people perform in their program after getting accepted. It "completes the circle" and gives more perspective about pharmacy school. Thank You for your feedback Falokis and best of luck in your 4th year!

 

[owlegrad]

May your thread live long and prosper.

 

[Pharm Phiend]

wow, i felt as if you were talking directly to me when i read this thread. right now i have abandoned relationships, time with family, my way of life financially basically everything to pursue this journey into pharmacy. i just returned to school after a long absence and a low GPA, i currently have a 3.88 with 35 credit hours so im halfway there. thank you for posting this, it is a reality check that things are about to get even harder and i appreciate that. i was feeling down that i have abandoned everything to pursue this dream and feel guilty about it at times, however it is what i want to do and i refuse to just struggle through it. thanks for putting all of the things i ve been thinking about into perspective. good luck!

Your story is very inspiring to me..I won't lose hope. I am going into my senior year with a low GPA and I've been really depressed for the past 3 months.. 🙁

Hey girl I'm in the same boat. Except I'm in a worse scenario. I already have a BA and am switching careers so I'm taking the prereqs now. I have totally screwed up the last 2 sems with a couple of C's. What makes it worse is I got a C+ in Orgo 1 after I had an A all semester...I totally tanked the last half. So now I got Orgo 2 coming up and I will retake those 2 C's but its basically do or die. I had to do a lot of soul searching the past couple of months...a little depression but more reflection as to why things went wrong, how to change my study habits etc.

This is basically it...if I dont knock an A in Orgo 2 and A's in the retake I can forget it. But first step first...knock out Orgo 2 so this summer I'm reviewing all the Orgo 1 info and getting it right.

But yeah its depressing.

Please be sure to see a doctor if you are truly depressed. It's important to take care of your health, and the sooner you get help, the better. 🙂

Pharmacy school is pretty brutal. My school has a shrink that comes in once a week to talk with students that need it. I think it's free. That says a lot about the pressure and stress it can cause you. If you are having problems now, it's going to get worse in pharmacy school.

Take care of it now. If you are lucky, there will be a defining line before and after treatment. That will help your chances getting in and staying in.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you how many people from my class are now on a medication that weren't before they started pharmD school. Take care of it, there is no shame in it.

Perhaps someone set my pharmacy school to Easy Mode, or enabled GameShark, but I find that many of my undergraduate courses presented more challenging material than the majority of my coursework so far in pharmacy school.

Falkis,

Pretty inspiring story!! You go to Auburn? Im a incoming P2 now and I can tell you that its pretty tough stuff. I think the DAD (Drugs and Diseases) course is a integrative class that is unique to our program. I have spoken to other students at meetings and I feel like our program is pretty rigorous. I have friends go to UOP and they do have a great program but I think they directed their program toward retail settings. While Auburn goes for more of clinical setting.

 

[Passion4Sci]

Really? Like what?

Fluid mechanics and optics (Physics) and Human Genetics (MCB) pop out at me. Calc II as well.

 

[Jackie B]

That's inspiring - but the gist truly is, that you CAN'T get in with a bad GPA, you have to RAISE it somehow 😀

At UCSD, I started out pre-pharm, took a few classes, didn't do so well. I'm glad I wasn't stubborn and didn't insist on finishing all my classes there with a 2.0 gpa. 1st quarter of gchem I got a B (I was just going off memory of what I learned in high school chem though), got a D 2nd quarter of gchem, retook that class the following quarter and got a C+. ew. I also took mamm phys and got a C. that's when I stopped. I managed to graduate with a decent GPA (3.5) in a different major (bio anthro - great subject!)

Now I'm post-baccing at a cal state and doing well - A's and B's. Good thing pharmacy school isn't *that* competitive to get into yet. If I was applying to med school, they would never be forgiving of this nontraditional path.

First year?

 

[Passion4Sci]

First year?

I am basing my experiences on first year coursework, however it is a 3 year accelerated curriculum (~19 units / sem). Molecular and Cellular Biochem was the only roughly challenging class (first sem) (Drug Metabolism & Disposition too I suppose in 2nd sem).

I hope your experience continues in this vein. It is usually not one class that is insurmountable it is the number of classes, amount of info, and the pace. But hopefully you will continue to find yourself amply prepared to meet the challenge. 👍

Yeah. I hear Auburn is "one of the hardest pharmacy schools" or "I should have gone to school X because it's easier." I'm not going to guess one way or the other because I figure everyone thinks that about their school. I guess the good part about Auburn is they put all the most difficult classes in the first two years. So if you make it past P2, you are going to make it.

I think that is pretty common.

Anyway we all know UF is the hardest COP.

 

[MeowMeowCAT]

Love hearing about these success stories, and probably one of the reasons I have been leaning towards pharmacy as opposed to md or even do, it just feels so reassuring to know that admission is still achievable even without a spotless academic record.

👍 Good success story, bro. 😀

 

[velvet75]

Way to go Falokis! Keep on keeping on! 👍

By the way, I've been working as Medical Technologist for almost three years! Did anything we learned in med tech school help you in any way during pharmacy school?

When you get to immunological and anti-coag drugs, it will probably help a good bit due to you knowing the systems involved in more detail than they will go into. Knowing the extras made it easy for me to remember the new stuff. They touch on chemistry testing when talking about drug metabolism, so you will know a good bit there. Other than that, not much overlap. It's probably a little different at every school, though.

If you haven't taken the PCAT, the MT certification makes the PCAT seem like a cake walk.

 

[Manayy]

I currently have a 2.5GPA with 75hours due to certain reasons.
I plan on working my butt off these last two years, striving for 4.0's my last 4 semesters. (3.7+, i dont want to stress myself out and kill myself).
The major thing that sucks is that a lot of my prereqs are in that crappy GPA of mine (physics, calc 1, other core classes.)
my last two years will be upper level bio, so if i have can A's i hope that says something to the adcoms.
i work at cvs right now, and my manager told me i can move to the pharmacy after working at the cashier for 90days (i dont think he knows i'm leaving for collge in the fall, hopefully i can transfer jobs).
i will start being involved on my campus and community, NEED TO UP MY EC!
i plan on apply to colleges opening in 2013, and schools that don't use PHARMCAS, and others.

any other advice will be much appreciated please!! i want some advice!

Pick a few schools you really want to attend. Speak with a "someone", like the dean or assistant dean. Ask them what else you can do and follow it to the letter. Update them on your progress as you do those things. Do that in person even if you need to drive 3 hours. Keep your name fresh in their head, but don't be annoying.

That is another thing I did, but I couldn't say if it helped or not. I feel like it did, though. A few adcoms knew me by name during the interview. That probably didn't hurt.

 

[Manayy]

THANKS Falokis!!!
I going to pick a few Texas schools.
How do i even start the convo when i call them and get the receptionist.
Like i'll ask to talk to the dean or dean assistant, and what do i say to him/her??? how do i start the convo??

Make an appointment. He is a busy man. I'd see him in person even if that means a road trip. Tell him what you have done and what you plan to do to make your app look good. Ask his advice on what more you can do. Be yourself. He will probably tell you stuff you already know. Take a tour and meet other people. The point really is to put a face with the name when your app comes to the school and to show you are interested enough to drive 3 hours for a 10 minute meeting.

No biggie.

Actually, I've already been accepted to pharmacy school and will be starting this fall! Woohoo!

Well said. You might add anxiety to that as well.

This is a great thread. Right on 👍 as far as the comparison between undergrad and pharm school.

 

[Trent Steele]

I study probably 6-8 hours a day (everyday) outside of class to get through pharmacy school. Now, that doesn't make it hard.

This guy is full of it. There is no reason that you need to be studying 8 hours a day, I'm sorry but he is doing SOMETHING terribly wrong. I had a great time while in pharmacy school, all it takes is proper time managment. Any of my friends from my class will agree. BUT if you did struggle that much in undergrad, you don't stand a chance in pharm school.... but that has nothing to do with studying 8 hours a day LMAO

 

[dudecoolname]

P2 year, we had a test every two weeks on about 250 pages of notes. That was just one of the classes.

Can someone explain how the hell you could possibly memorize/study 250 pages in two weeks?

That's ~17 pages a day but still seems extremely brutal especially for just one class

Where did you go to school Trent Steele and what type of pharmacy do you practice? Also where did you go to undergrad? Just wondering because I want to know exactly what I'm getting into. Thanks!

I had similar courses during undergrad. It just takes effort I say.

Grad from CCP now working in heme/onc... Studied a ton, but also had tons of fun. If pharm school wasn't fun, then you surely did it wrong. I mean, you're still in college! But honestly man, its looking real tough out there, if pharmacy is something you really love and want to do by all means do it... But if you are out to look for a guaranteed job with a decent salary, those days of pharm are long behind sadly. And most are looking for the latter. The price of education keeps increasing, and salaries will drop for noobs when states start pumping out 800 rphs a year which is already starting to happen. If I can convince one person to pursue a different path and really research it, I feel like I will have done my good deed for the day... pm me if you want to know more deets.


best luck in what you decide

Don't have a chance in pharm school? Ummm.... I'm a P4 and said it was pretty sweet. As far as struggling in undergrad, I didn't. I just didn't go or study. Did you even read the post?

edit - I will admit that 6-8 hours was only for the P2 year. P1 and P3 was slightly less. P1 was slower paced than P2, so required less. P3 was mostly doing papers on case reviews.

i stopped reading after you said you studied 8 hours a day
And I was refering to other people that said they struggle in prepharm, whom will really struggle in pharm school. 8 hours....days before exams for sure but on a daily basis??? haha you're one crazy guy

After the first year, I wanted to prove to myself I could get all A's in my P2 year. Damn it if I got a B each semester 😡

Did you have to do a lot of non-academic work, shadowing and stuff, to make up for the low GPA and the grades? Or were you able to just focus on improving the grades?

I worked full time as a med tech for two years before I applied. One of those years I took/retook some prereqs for the pharmD program, so I literally slept 3-5 hours a day on the week days. I think that helped because I was asked how I would handle a 18-19 hour class load during my interview. I explained why that it wouldn't be a problem.

Where did you retake/take your pre-reqs? At a university/state/cc? Did you already have most of them fulfilled back in undergrad? Did the the retakes boost up your GPA by much? Sorry we have similar ugGPA and I just want know what I can do to get into pharmacy school with it.

I had so many hours, my GPA hardly changed. I was still under the minimum GPA requirement for 99% of schools. I almost never applied because of it. The same reason I didn't apply years ago. The whole reason I did is because I knew I couldn't live with myself later in life if I never tried. I didn't want to be one of those old people that look back and say "I should of <insert whatever> but never tried." If I didn't make it, I knew I did what I could and did my best to correct my past. I would be able to live with that. My classes were about half retakes and the other half was new material I still needed. I also took some from a university and some from a CC. Anything I could take at the CC, I did.

That's all really hopeful for me to hear. I basically have the exact mindset as you did. So you applied under the minimum GPA requirement and the schools still reviewed your application? I would think they not even look at apps that are below their requirement...how many schools did you apply to and how many interviews did you received? Also how many years did you spend after undergrad before you applied? Med tech school for 4 years? Then worked 2 years while retaking pre-reqs and applied? Did your Med Tech grades count into your overall GPA?

 

[MeowMeowCAT]

Also, do you mind elaborating on what you did that made them to reconsider you? I mean, hopefully it is not necessary to have to work for four years on some tech job. Basically during your "improving time" did you feel like you were actually working towards something? Or was it still a "maybe" at that point?

I am personally still am in undergrad, but there might be a chance I will need to spice up my academic record either before graduation or post...I am just concerned if I would also be looking at spending so much time as you did, 4 or so years, to improving stuff.

Thanks.

Did your Med Tech grades count into your overall GPA?

Yeah, they all looked at it. I really didn't expect it either. I only applied to 4 schools. I got accepted to two and declined interviews at the other two. If you are asking how long after my original graduation, it was 5 years. If after my second degree, it was 2 years. Med tech is a four year degree, but I only needed 2 years to complete it. I had already taken many of the classes. PharmCAS includes all grades, so yes, my MT grades applied.

Also, do you mind elaborating on what you did that made them to reconsider you? I mean, hopefully it is not necessary to have to work for four years on some tech job. Basically during your "improving time" did you feel like you were actually working towards something? Or was it still a "maybe" at that point?

I never made them reconsider me. I only app'd the one cycle. I assumed I would never make it originally in undergrad, so I never app'd. I do assume most of what I did was necessary because you don't see many people with a 2.4 GPA accepted. I never gave myself a chance when I finally did apply, but I obviously had a better application that I thought.

I am personally still am in undergrad, but there might be a chance I will need to spice up my academic record either before graduation or post...I am just concerned if I would also be looking at spending so much time as you did, 4 or so years, to improving stuff.

Thanks.

I would think if you are applying in undergrad or straight out of school, you probably need to have around the average for your pharmD program. If your application is sub-par, I would think you need to do more as I did.

How bad do you want it? I did extra years to make sure. That's how bad I wanted it.

I am also taking biochemistry fall semester. should i take more classes to improve or this should suffice?

Honestly, you have a lot more classes to retake.

It looks like your first attempt at all of these classes were marginal, at best. (Nothing above a C+) You have to, at the very least, retake Organic 2 because a D+ won't count towards pre-reqs. Have you thought about getting a degree because your current track record, even after retakes, is quite weak.

Thanks
I already have my bachelor's degree.
What classes do you recommend that I should take besides that one I have taken already???
