Hi guys I need your advise. Do you think someone can study hard all materials on their own and have a great PCAT score (90+) without taking the required pre-pharmacy courses?
I appreciate your help!

Thanks for replying delano2000. By "without taking the pre-reqs" I meant no Gen Chem 1&2, no Bio, no O-Chem, no Microbiology, all those courses; to study them on your own 😏

Umm, that I am not sure about. That's gonna be a lot of reading/studying that you will have to do on your own. That sounds like overkill to me. Why not wait until you have the majority of the core pre-reqs completed before taking the test?:idea: I mean there is absolutely no way that you are gonna get accepted to any pharmacy school without completing the pre-reqs anyway.

Yeah I know man, the thing is, I was planning to apply for the 2011 fall term; write PCAT January 2011, take Gen Chem 1, Gen Bio 1, (I have some maths courses already) during the 2011 winter term...and while at it do some volunteering in a pharmacy. I mean I've heard some students are admitted when they're missing some pre-reqs...
Does anyone think my plan is... "do-able"??😕

Did you mean that you are planning to apply for the 2012 cycle or the current cycle?

People have gotten accepted with a few of the core pre-reqs still missing, not with 3/4 missing though.
