So obviously the pharm schools look at GPA, PCAT, pharmacy experience and stuff. I have the GPA, I have the PCAT score, however I have pretty much no experience at all.
Basically I was just wondering what type of random things and achievements can be helpful to you and make you stand out or look good? Just for an example, if you won a state level competition in a sport or instrument you play or something.
For me, I've always loved film and screenwriting as a hobby, and a short I wrote as a teenager caught the attention of an independent film producer online, who asked me to shoot it. It's not a huge successful film or anything, but the fact that I have a credit to a tiny, short film out there is pretty outstanding. I know it has absolutely nothing to do with pharmacy, but should I bring this up in an interview/personal statement? Would it help me? Or should I just leave it out? Any thoughts?
