Thanks for the encouragement guys
I was rejected for this cycle (not surprised at all though, it was expected for the reasons I said already). In my head, I'm counting the next cycle as my first "real" try...I'll have my prerequisites done, and hopefully I can get at least A- in every class from here on...
Regarding the 2 schools in quebec, I have applied and got rejected...my chances are actually worse here because the first admissions screening is based solely on your grades. For me, that's already pretty much a killer blow haha...all my pharm experience and references are worthless in the first stage. But the knockout is that the schools here don't use gpa to screen, they use something called the "R score". I dont know if you guys know what it is but it's basically your grade compared to the group average...there's a bit more to it but that's gist of it (you guys can wiki it if you wanna waste some time).
Anyways, my r score is not very good(it's **** lol)...and unlike the gpa, it's a tough s.o.b. to try to get up...it's not impossible but it's freaking difficult...easy as pie to see it sink though. My gpa looks better than the r score, but I don't wanna sound like a whiner, because obviously I had some bad grades and the r score reflects that, however the r score puts a magnifying glass on that **** and won't let go lol. I hear people having big gpa comebacks quite often(heck I made one) but I don't recall ever hearing stories of big r score "comebacks"....
I didn't apply to UoT for this cycle because of the PCAT...before this semester, my last "real" chem, bio and physics classes were done like 5 years ago in cegep...I didn't remember anything...so probably not in the best shape to perform. I'll definitely give it a try next cycle. Even then, I feel my chances at UW are better. Doesn't hurt to try though.
