This Question Is From: Pharmacy Technician Schools in Minnesota and has 2 Answers
I’m looking to go to the University of Minnesota Pharmacy School – I have about a 3.6 PharmCAS GPA (going up slowly since all of my hard classes are done). I have 17-18 credit semesters since I started freshman year (7-10 credits every summer) and will be graduating with a Biology/Society/Environment specialty degree with heavy science emphasis in 3 years instead of 4. I am taking the PCAT this Saturday, and starting to volunteer in a hospital pharmacy in about 2 weeks. I will be applying this fall, but I’m just curious if anyone has any experience with this and can tell me other things I can do. I’m concerned that my GPA is too low, I don’t have enough experience or community service, and I’ll know about my PCAT after I take it. Any thoughts????
Thanks!

You actually sound pretty good. I don’t know what a PharmCAS GPA is, but you’re aiming for a 3.5+ GPA when applying to pharmacy school.
As long as your PCAT score is not awful, you’ll have a pretty good chance of getting in. Overall average GPA of successful candidates is about a 3.4-3.5.
