UCSD pharm school requirements

[macn19]

On the UCSD website, it says

"A solid understanding of the fundamental sciences is essential for the study of the pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. Applicants are required to have successfully completed, with an average grade point average of 3.0 or better in each category, the following pre-requisite science coursework"

Then it lists categories such as physics, ochem, etc. So will they not consider my application if my average gpa for the physics classes I took is below 3.0? This is the only school I've seen so far that requires a minimum average GPA for each category.

You will put in your PCAT ID number and code 104

Don't worry, my physics GPA was below 3.0 and I still got in. cGPA = 3.54, sGPA = 3.3. My EC's were pretty stellar though. There's still hope, apply!

I emailed them last cycle about this, and I will paste what they wrote back to me:

"We review all applications that are submitted regardless of GPA. We look at the application as a whole and do take into consideration other factors when making a decision."

So as the above poster has said, they are soft requirements. Good luck!
