Your stats look good enough. Do you have any pharmacy experience to go along with your application? That would make it all the better. Be sure to study hard for the PCAT and you'll be fine. I'm also going to be taking the PCAT in October. I've already began studying a little bit each day and I have yet to take Organic Chemistry I (will be taking in the fall) .

No matter what anyone says, You can do anything that you believe you can...Just have faith. 😉

I've been studying from the Kaplan mainly. When there is something that I need more detail on, I go to my Biology Textbook as a supplement. My friend who got in to Pharm school last year said that the Kaplan material is more than enough to get a good score on the PCAT.

I have the Kaplan book, Master the PCAT, and the PCAT Flashcards book all from Amazon.com for around $50-60 dollars. As it gets closer to test time, I will devote more and more time to studying for the PCAT. 😀

Dude wat is PCAT Flashcards?? wat kind of information is on it, i mean wat subject?? and do they help??

honestly, the KAPLAN book for the Bio section is more than enough. I don't think the chemistry -- mainly the ochem part--- covers enough though, but i took o chem lab right before so it was still fresh in my head.

The Pcat Flashcards is a book-type flashcard that reviews all the sections on the Pcat. It has all kinds of questions from the different sections on the front page and then on the back of the page, it has the answer and the explanations to the answers. Almost like a little PCAT test review. Here's the link to the book on Amazon. So far it has been good and easy to study for me. I went out on a limb and tried it and it's pretty good.
