I started out by taking real easy classes my first year at a community college. The only sciences I took was Bio 1 and Bio 2. I decided to postpone most of the other sciences until I got into a university which I did the next year. I finished with a 3.5 GPA with 49 hours.
I did REAL bad my first semester of the university by getting an F in Calculus and a D+ in Chemistry..I retook them both the next semester and made an A and B+ respectively. My current GPA for this last Spring 2008 semester is a 3.7 but my cumulative GPA is like a 2.184...which doesn't make any sense to me...if someone could explain how my cumulative GPA is so low. Did my F in Calculus affect my GPA that bad? Also, can any one give me advice on what I should do to improve from here on out? I know anyone can say to start making A+'s in all my classes, and even though that's my goal, I'm not really an A+ student...on avg. I'm like a B student...so what other things could I do along with my classes to improve chances of getting into pharmacy school and to make sure I have something to fall back just in case I fall short of my goal of an A?
My head feels like its in knots because of things I need to get into pharm school. I don't know how where to start or how to juggle those things with schoolwork. I've already done some volunteer work over a full summer in a hospital pharmacy. I was also in a health club organization that helps you get volunteer hours in this past semester. I plan on taking Chem 2 over the summer...Cal II, Cal based physics, and Ochem 1 next semester. Any advice on what I should do to better my chances would be GREATLY appreciated 🙂
