Hey guys! So I am a black male who just graduated from the University of South Florida with a health science degree. My gpa is not to good, I have a 2.47 cumulative gpa. I have taken Gen chem 1 & 2 with labs, physics 1 & 2 with labs, however, have not taken orgo 1 or 2, genetics, bio 1 or 2, and so on. Have no experience in pharmacy what so ever, if anything just discovered it and really seem to want to pursue it. How long will it take me to gain an acceptance anywhere and what are the steps to do so.

TBH your outlook is not that good. Schools look at your average science and math GPA to be around 3.5. If you do incredibly well on PCAT and have extracurricular activities/pharmacy tech experience then you may have a chance. FAMU's and Nova's minimum GPA is 2.75. You do the math and see if you can increase your average math and science GPA to at least 2.75 with the classes you haven't taken yet. If you don't think its possible then I would consider a different career path.
