My stats:

Graduated in 2010
GPA: 2.95
sGPA: 2.9
PCAT: 94% composite
4 years of work experience in a pharmaceuticals lab
1 year research experience while in undergrad
volunteering in clinical pharmacy, shadowing a compounding pharmacy and retail, volunteer in ER, board member of a club and member of other pre-health clubs

UNC is my top choice but what do you guys think, which schools should I be focusing on? Thanks for any help.

Your PCAT score is very competitive so congratulations on that. On the other hand, you GPA will hold you back, so I would recommend applying to multiple pharmacy schools as a back up plan if UNC doesn't work out. The average GPA for an incoming UNC student is a 3.5 and they accepted about 20% of their applicants. You have a lot of experience, but make sure you apply to multiple schools good luck.

with your extracurricular and your high pcat score, you have a chance somewhere. I would suggest you to apply broadly

you will get in, but probably won't be UNC. They are somewhat more competitive than many other schools.

Have you taken any classes in the past 4 years? Most schools do not accept grades for classes taken over 5-6 years before applying.
