What are my chances

So I took most of my science prereqs and I'm getting really discouraged about my grades...

bio1 B
bio2 A
gchem1 C
gchem2 C
Ochem1 B
physics1 A
anat C
microbio B
physio B

hopefully i can do well in ochem2, biochem, and phys2.

I'm really worried about the C's in these courses. I have yet to take the PCAT. I do have hospital exp and EC's. Plan on getting my pharm tech soon.
Undergrad Gpa is 3.39
Do you guys think I have a standing chance? Any advice would be appreciated as these applications are killing me. Thanks

I think you do if you make up those Cs with good grades in organic. Also the PCAT is very important, so you have a chance there as well.

Showing you have pharmacy experience is important for most schools, so you still have a chance.

I think as long as you're above a 3.0, show an upward trend in your grades, and have good ECs then you're still in good standing.

Many people get in with Cs on their records. Of course, you don't want to be known as a C-student and you want As, but they aren't as strong of app-killers as they are for med schools.

Your stats so far show that you are in the middle of the pack, but this is just a generalization. You have a decent chance but nobody can really know exactly.

when you calculate the stats you posted, it works out to be a GPA of 2.8 if every course is worth 3 credits... so I'm not sure how that translates to 3.39. Or is the 3.39 the cumulative GPA and not the pre-req?

Your chances might be below average based only on those grades you posted, but it really depends on your app as a whole. PCAT , ECs, volunteering, and pharmacy experience could make or break you. When do you plan on taking the PCAT?
