lol good lucking getting into pharmacy school with a 3.5

>>3451442
I know the requirements are strenuous. I'm panicking already.
Heres what I'll have when its time to apply
100 hours hospital volunteer experience
animal shelter volunteer experience
varoius work experience
certification and experience as a pharmacy technician
And of course all of the things they require.

>>3451555
also, I have volunteer firefighter experience already and may pursue EMT certification once i check the state's requirements

>doesn't have the work ethic to succeed in high school
>thinks he will magically turn it around in college

3.5 isn't low. That poster is an obvious troll. Also make sure the pharm schools you are interested in take CC credits before you go full retard and spend all 4 years at a CC

You would be much better off transferring to a university and doing your pre-pharmacy stuff there. I suppose you might be able to get into a decent pharmacy school if you got a 4.0 at a community college and aced your PCAT, but chances are you'd be handicapped compared to people who took higher level science classes at a regular college and had good GPA's and PCAT scores as well.

Just remember that pharmacy is considered one of the more competitive programs at a regular college. You're going to want to give yourself any advantage you can.

College is easier than high school, so it's entirely possible.

I graduated with a 1.997 from high school. Went to college thinking I could change. Failed. Joined the Marines. Came back after four years. All A's.

>>3451582
clearly you have never been to a good college and taken stem classes

diff eq>>>>ap calc in terms of difficulty

>>3451582
No... I can say with my experiences. The only easier college classes are the English classes. It has happened that people rapidly improve in college but don't count on it.

>College is easier than high school

Maybe if you're majoring in liberal arts.

Alternatively, I graduated from high school with a 2.6 or a 2.8 don't really remember. Went to uni and never got below a 3.8.

>black
>2.6 high school GPA
got into Harvard

problem, white people?

>>3451631
I lol'd. I wrote a kick-ass admission essay though.

>>3451569
I had a 2.7 GPA in high school. Went to college and got a 3.5 the first semester, then a 4.0. Continued that streak the rest of college.

And yes, I went to a good university.

So... go fuck yourself

You can do it, OP.

>>3451675
out of curiosity, what university and what major?

>>3451685
University of Panama, graphic design

>>3451612
OP here. I'm also black. I'm hoping that increases my chances. Since I'm in NC, UNC would be fantastic, though I've heard horror stories of how difficult the studies are. Its the 2nd best pharmacy school in the US from what I've heard.

>stay poor, do you think I could continue receiving grants and scholarships to fund me going to school.


>Nope, not if me and my party have anything to say about it.

Why? I'm going to be giving back 28% of my income in taxes when I get that sweet Pharmacist pay. Plus, I'll be dispensing the Oxycontin to your buddies, and you a little blue pill to keep the misses happy.
