I'm a CA resident and I've been browsing this forum for a little while. I'm not sure where should I apply. My stats are not great at all and I'm not really sure if I should even apply to UCSF,UCSD, USC. Does anyone know of any out of state schools that don't give preference to their in-state students, I don't know if I'll get into any CA schools.
I'm probably taking PCATS in Oct for non-CA schools
My stats:
Overall GPA: 3.40
Science GPA: 3.08
Pre-Pharm: Depends on school, but generally 3.2ish
I'm hoping for an upward trend though, hopefully this quarter goes well. Last quarter I got A- (biochem), A- (physiology), A (health economics), A (entomology), overall 3.84
I basically got Straight B's, B+'s in my bio and ochem/genchem classes and I did poorly in calculus and physics B/B-/C+, but I'm hoping to turn it around this quarter as well and possibly raise my GPA to 3.44 overall, 3.14 science. I've gotten straight A's in my 5 econ courses (I'm not sure if that means anything), I'm hoping it sets me apart somewhat.
I'll have a BS by the time I attend pharmacy school if I get accepted (class 2007) and I'm getting a degree in Biological Sciences (emphasis in Microbiology) and I'm minoring in Economics from UC-Davis
I'm in Alpha Phi Omega (Service Fraternity and I'm in the service commitee if that counts for anything), I'm in the prepharmacy club here at my school, I'm in National Society of Collegiate scholars (if that counts for anything), and I've interned for one quarter at UCD Veterinary Teaching Hospital Pharmacy.
I'm just really discouraged right now, I'm thinking I'm just going to apply everywhere and see what happens...
Thanks for any response and thanks for reading
