Will I Get Imacy School??

[lostinlife]

I'm really scared about applying because I have about 3 F's and 3 D's on my transcript. 2 of them are for science but I re-took them and got an A and a B. I'm in the process of retaking another course but it is not science. My Cum. GPA is a 3.5 and my Science is a 3.3. I have taken almost all my classes at a community college even though I attend a university right now. Do I have any chance at all to get into a Pharmacy School?

To the OP, you should have a shot. Just score as high as you can on the PCAT. Go out there and get a score in the 70s or higher and you'll be fine. Also, write a killer personal statement.

Why? Because he/she doesn't have a 3.98 GPA, 4.0 math/science GPA, and 99% pcat?

Arrogant prick...

He said, "you AREN'T totally out of the running," which isn't a bad thing. If anything, it's a positive outlook. - -

Opps, that's what happens when you read too fast.

Thanks for catching that.

Sorry, Ross.

now how did you get a 3.5 cumulative GPA with all those D's and F's??
You have to realize that all your grades will be calculated by pharmcas and that your cumulative GPA with the old grades is the one that will determine whether you are competitve or not.
